Hey guys, going by her track record when there are long pauses of no new Gisele work/news usually only means one thing;

She's working. I wouldn't doubt if she's already shot 5 covers and 2 campaigns. Remember she is not one of those models who tweets every single photoshoot she has done/is doing. It sometimes kills me but I like the suspense. and I know she is busy taking care of her children and family but she also has advantage of not having to travel for work much at all. They come to her now days.

If we go by her last pregnancy comeback she shot Vogue US,Calzedonia,i-D at her home in Costa Rica and Vogue Korea,Vogue Mexico,Muse by her home in LA, all within months and no one had a clue. Let's hope this time is no different.

That would be awesome... I´m just wondering, if she´ll ever stop? Could have done that long time ago (she no more needs to be modeling active) and I´m glad she still keeps working.

I wonder too Jennka. although she's been retiring since 2001 ^ and she always ends up coming back. I truly think the woman is a workaholic and can't sit still/gets bored really easily.

I agree miche, I think she is one of that persons that need to be doing something, they got so many energy that it's never enough ! I saw an interview when she was on promotional tour for Taxi and she said she would only model for some more years, I'm so glad she's still working and is stronger as ever !

She retired from the catwalks in 2001. then she came back.

and her Vanity Fair 2004 shoot she said she would model for 2 years more maximum...

well that didnt happen either. haha.

At her Ipanema launch in 2010 she said she is always going to be working til she is old , if she "believes in the project". I believe her.

Even if modeling projects slow down, she will always be doing something with her brands and in Brazil I think. Who knows whats next for her! It seems she always tries something new out every few years.

Its just a good testiment to how much she really enjoys modeling. Some models do it, get a contract, then stop working and are content with money coming in......there not really passionate about what they do! Gisele doesn't need to work, she doesn't need anymore money or exposure, and she could have gone the heidi or tyra route and started getting into television, etc. She choose to stick with what she loves

She has been offered TV, at least to host Brazil's Next Top Model and she declined apparently because she had no interest in a tv career. I am glad for that. I think tv would be great like how Naomi is doing it, in her 40s, but 20s and 30s is too young to "cash out" imo.

I forget who put it like this but there are two sides of modeling; Profit & Prestige. Its amazing how Gisele has been able to balance the two. I like Tyra and Heidi but lets face it they lack any prestige within the fashion world. They're made a mockery of (not that I always agree with those high fashion snobs, but they are)... I'm sure Gisele was also, once she signed her VS contract but she proved everyone wrong and still maintained her fashion relationships. This is where alot of models go wrong once they get their mega contracts.

^Good point! While heidi and tyra are popular, they've lost the ability to book high fashion jobs. They're not working as models anymore, their working as spokspeople, which doesn't help in terms of good quality editorials and campaigns

I don't think Tyra and Heidi cared about high fashion at the end. They were SI and VS girls. It's rare for any model to cover SI and get a VS Angel contract. But they did it.. Who cares? And they're working like celebs these days. Just find it rme-worthy that HF thinks they're special but they have so many girls working for them for free. But you gotta respect how Gi got both worlds in her pocket. Didn't realize she doesn't have a Gucci campaign. I hope that's the next one to cross off her list.

Miche can you make a list of fashion labels Gisele didn't do campaigns for? I imagine very little

She's never had campaigns for (of any kind beauty of mainline)

Gucci

Fendi

Prada

Alexander McQueen

Oscar dela Renta

Alberta Ferretti

Armani

Balmain

Blumarine

Calvin Klein

Max Mara

Marc Jocobs

Emilio Pucci

Tom Ford

Vivienne Westwood

I'm sure there is more but those are the only bigger brands I could think of.

The only ones on my wish list are the first 3.

Calvin Klein is out of the question because Francisco Costa doesn't like using Brazilian models in the campaigns. (which he himself is Brazilian,weird) They're probably too sexy for the label which is more about minimal clean slate beauty.

THE PARTY: Elles by Gilles Bensimon at Sofitel New York launch

THE PLACE: Sofitel New York

THE DEETS: It’s not every day that iconic women like Zooey Deschanel, Catherine Deneuve, Carla Bruni, Beyonce, and Gisele Bündchen are in one room together. Thanks to the influence and artistic brilliance of Gilles Bensimon, however, exactly that happened at the Sofitel in New York City. To celebrate a selection of distinguished women within the arts and entertainment industry, Bensimon, the former International Creative Director of Elle magazine, curated 25 famous photographs for his Elles by Gilles Bensimon collection. Glam had the honor of watching as Bensimon himself presented the photographs before opening the exhibit to the public, and listen when we say, this is one exhibit you won’t want to miss. Elles by Gilles Bensimon is open through April when the collection will travel on to Sofitel Washington DC, Chicago, and Los Angeles.

Nope no Prada campaign just walked some shows. I can't believe Vogue Brazil has not had a Gisele,Adriana,Ale cover yet. That is on my wish list.

Gisele Bündchen is supporting a campaign that helps needy children throughout Brazil: "even those who have very little can donate, just want to". Cool, right? Watch the video she released--->
