Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen reveals why she’s quitting the catwalk


GISELE Bundchen’s decision to retire from the runway sent shock waves through the fashion world.
Now the Brazilian supermodel has revealed why she’s stepping away.
“Automatically my body tells me if what I do is worth it, and it asked to stop,” the 34-year-old told the Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper.
“I respect my body, it’s a privilege to be able to stop.”


Bundchen will make her final sashay down the catwalk during Sao Paulo Fashion Week.

But she emphasised that she will continue off-the-runway work and spend more time with her family.
The blonde beauty, who has already reduced her number of appearances, is married to New England Patriots star Tom Brady, with whom she has two young children, Benjamin and Vivian.


“I don’t see how to continue (modelling on the catwalk) ... and stopping will leave room for other projects I have for myself,” Bundchen said, without specifying other upcoming plans.

Bundchen — who Forbes says has been the world’s highest-earning model for the past eight years, with $US47 million ($61 million) in earnings last year — is expected to turn her focus to print ad campaigns.


She has worked with the likes of Chanel, Valentino, Versace, Louis Vuitton, Alexander Wang, Balenciaga and Carolina Herrera over a 20-year career.

She has also many times been a Victoria’s Secret “Angel.”
