To loud cheers from the audience, the 34-year old modeled
summer dresses for Brazilian label Colcci on Wednesday before
making her finale alongside models dressed in jeans and T-shirts
printed with sketches of her. Holding back tears, she smiled and
waved to the cameras and audience.
Bundchen told Brazilian media that she wants to now focus on
print campaigns and spend more time with her young family.
"I am grateful that at 14, I was given the opportunity to start
this journey," Bundchen wrote on her Instagram account alongside
a picture of her younger self.
"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.
Bundchen has modeled for fashion's biggest design houses such as
Chanel, Carolina Herrera and Louis Vuitton as well as lingerie
brands and retailer H&M.
Her husband, New Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, was among the
cheering audience.
"It seemed to be more of a show that a catwalk. It really was a
leaving event for her," style consultant, Ilmar Marinho, told
Reuters after the show.
"The ending was incredible, she came out with so much emotion,
everyone was shouting and calling her name. Gisele is Gisele,
there is not much more you can say than that."
