After years of wowing the industry and the paparazzi alike, Brazilian beauty Gisele Bündchen is all set to strike her signature pose one last time during the Sao Paulo Fashion Week on Wednesday. It’ll literally be a walk down memory lane for the leggy beauty who made her Brazilain catwalk debut at this very event 20 years ago!
The former Victoria’s Secret model claimed that her reasons for calling it a day were not just to spend time with her New England Patriots quarterback husband Tom Brady and their two children, but also to respect her body.
My body tells me if what I do is worth it, and it asked to stop. I respect my body, it’s a privilege to be able to stop.
–Bündchen told Brazilian newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo
The label that the 34-year-old has chosen for her last ramp walk is the Brazilian brand Colcci. She will, however, continue to promote her lingerie line, Gisele Bündchen Intimates, even after she bows out of the arc lights.
Bündchen earned $47 million in 2013-2014 and has been crowned the highest paid model for the past eight years, according to Forbes magazine.
