Heavenly Body
The rise of Gisele Bündchen
Brazilian Gisele Bündchen grew up in humble rural circumstances and became the world's most successful supermodel. This book features the most breathtaking glamour shots and numerous private photos from her 20-year career in the fashion industry.
Gisele was just 18 when she broke out at Alexander McQueen's 1998 ready-to-wear "Rain" show. McQueen chose "The Body" for her ability to stride down a slippery runway in sky-high heels. That same year, she landed on the cover of British Vogue and quickly became the most sought-after cover girl of her generation . The following year, Steven Meisel photographed her for the cover of American Vogue . Her tanned, athletic beauty heralded "the return of the sexy model" as a contrast to the grunge of the late 90s. Since then, Gisele has appeared on over 1,000 covers around the globe, walked in approximately 450 fashion shows , and completed multinational campaigns for the world's biggest fashion and beauty brands.
This volume of over 300 images was compiled and designed by Giovanni Bianco . From Irving Penn's legendary nude, our cover image, to iconic shots by star photographers such as David LaChapelle, Juergen Teller, Inez & Vinoodh, Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, and Corinne Day , this is a unique portrait of the woman who, along with Pelé and Ayrton Senna, is Brazil's most famous export and the world's highest-paid model. This elegant visual compilation is complemented by contributions from Gisele's closest friends and family, as well as leading figures in the fashion industry .
