Gisele Bündchen | Book Author

Gisele Bündchen got her big break when she was chosen for her ability to walk in heels—on a slippery runway—for Alexander McQueen’s spring 1998  ready-to-wear show. Since 1998 she has appeared in campaigns for Missoni, Chloé, Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino, Gianfranco Ferré, Ralph Lauren, and Versace campaigns. During that time, she made the cover of the French Vogue, and i-D featured her on its cover, profiling “A Girl Called Gisele.”

Throughout her career, Bündchen has launched a line of designer sandals, Ipanema, under the Brazilian footwear company Grendene and owns the Brazilian hotel Palladium Executive. She also released a book under her credit called Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life” in 2018. Her book was a New York Times bestseller in the U.S. and was the best-selling book for more than six months in Brazil. The proceeds from her book went to support social and environmental causes.
