Gisele Bundchen retires at Brazil Fashion Week

Gisele has taken her last stroll down a runway. The Brazilian model has retired from the catwalk at the age of 34, after a 20 year career. The Mum of two, who is married to NFL quarterback Tom Brady, says she wants to spend more time with her family but has also vowed to continue working in the industry. She fought back tears during her final catwalk appearance for Sao Paulo Fashion Week, giving a thumbs-up.

 

I am grateful that at 14, I was given the opportunity to start this journey. Today after 20 years in the industry, it is a privilege to be doing my last fashion show by choice and yet still be working in other facets of the business. #firstrunway #14yearsold 🙏🙏🙏 Sou muito grata por ter tido a oportunidade, aos 14 anos, de iniciar esta jornada. Hoje, após 20 anos nesta carreira, é um privilégio estar fazendo meu último desfile por escolha própria e ainda continuar trabalhando em outras facetas da indústria. #primeirodesfile #14anos
