GISELE may have only given birth six months ago but you certainly wouldn't know it as she returned to the catwalk yesterday. The model paraded in her native Brazil as a part of Sao Paulo Fashion Week.
"I was very nervous," Bundchen said, according to the website of the Brazilian newspaper Estado de Sao Paulo. "But I am very happy, everything went right."
The 29-year-old model walked the catwalk for clothing label Colcci. Gisele has modelled for the brand before, having featured in its campaign in April. The model, who is reported to be the best paid in the world, is a regular at the Brazilian event although missed one in January after giving birth to her son Benjamin in December last year.
SUPERMODEL Helena Christensen has bared all for Reebok's new EasyTone trainers - and admitted she's a fan of the trainers' technology out of laziness!
"With my busy schedule it's a perfect way to do something without spending hours in the gym," the Vogue cover girl explained. "I'm impatient, when I try something I like to see results immediately. I could feel these working right away which is why I've stuck with them."
NAOMI CAMPBELL'S new-found love for Russia has inspired a charity venture to raise money for the country's underprivileged children.
"I'm living here [and] everyone has been very nice to me and welcoming - I wanted to give back," Campbell said. The supermodel lives part of the year in Russia with her property tycoon boyfriend, Vladimir Doronin, and has become a regular fixture on Moscow's fashion circuit.
2009 was the year of the ankle boot, but the way things are going, 2010 could also be given that accolade—though now the boots are looking a little different, what with the plethora of laces, straps, cutouts, and . . . peep-toes, which are, as far as we are concerned, the clincher detail for the perfect summer boots. “A style with a peep-toe gives a twist to a boot’s proportions,” says senior accessories editor Filipa Fino, “and the openness extends the line of the leg.” For us, the style is the perfect transitional shoe from cold to warm weather, while being denuded of any associations with a particular season. Take, for instance, the snakeskin version by Giuseppe Zanotti for Thakoon, which, says assistant accessories editor Megan Hayes, “have the scale of a fall boot, but the ecru tone makes you think of a summer sandal.” What is specific: What you wear these boots with. Sally Singer, fashion news/features director, eyeing an Alexander Wang laced and zippered boot, thinks they’re just the thing to go with narrow cropped pants and a chambray shirt from the Row. Style-wise, says Singer, “you want to stick to boyish separates—not a flirty dress.”
