Gisele Bundchen rose from southern Brazil to become the defining runway and commercial model of the early 2000s, credited with helping end the waifish ‘heroin chic’ era. Her arrival brought a healthier, athletic silhouette back into high fashion.
For years she topped earnings lists, fronting campaigns for many of Europe’s largest houses and walking as a Victoria’s Secret Angel. Beyond modeling she has been active in environmental advocacy and philanthropy.
