Gisele Bundchen's Supermodel Powers

It seems beauty, Gisele Bundchen may have some sort of magical powers we hope it'll never go away. Her super powers? Hypnotizing us with her striking looks and poses. I had not become familiar with this mega supermodel until I completely indulged into the world of fashion around the age of 11. After getting more familiar with several fashion designers, I became to understand that models were everything to this industry. Being chosen to be on the cover of such an important magazine like Vogue has always been a dream to any model. But it's not who you choose to be on a cover of a magazine, it's who you choose to have that single person hypnotize anyone who walks by the magazine stands, take a few seconds to stare at it, and purchase it just for the simple fact of being stroked by a beauty or work of art. This is what Vogue Italia's latest June cover has done in my opinion, chosen the perfect model to do the work.


Gisele Bundchen became the first model I became quite aware of who she was before I even knew who Kate Moss was as well. Yes, I know, quite a shame I wasn't familiar with another pure beauty, but it didn't take long to familiarize with her either later. 


Mrs. Bundchen (Brady) has become a perfection at everything she does. Her catwalk simply speaks about her confident authority towards fashion. Have you seen the repeats of her Balenciaga Spring 2011 catwalk video, Colcci, or any other hypnotic walks she performs? I don't know about you, but I have to rewind to catch again her graceful walk. And let's talk about her editorial and ad campaigns. Well let's not, because I will never finish talking about her works on many fashion magazines to her appearances for ads such as Dior, Versace, YSL (Saint Laurent), Chanel, BLK DNM, etc. The list goes on and on. 


While her recent Chanel for Beauty Campaign was to portray her beautiful and feminine skin, and David Yurman to see how beautiful you can also look in his jewelry, BLK DNM went the total opposite. It was as if they thought shooting a picture with her back facing the camera would make a great advertisement. If BLK DNM wanted to make it a very sexy campaign with a model checking her car engine in jeans, they nailed it. Her Vogue Brazil cover created quite a buzz in women, knowing that she had shot the cover just after giving birth two months later. Envy or not, who cares, she looks great. All I know is that the season has just started to heat up, and Mrs. Bundchen seems to be making again, a powerful return to this season's fashion. One thing I hope is for her to make another huge surprise on any designer's ad campaign for fall 2013. Will it happen? I don't know for sure, but I at least would wish to see her appearing from time to time on some cover of a magazine editorial. Oh, and I have to get this specific Vogue Italia June edition ASAP. I live in the United States, but my nearest bookstore, Barnes & Nobles, apparently doesn't put their international magazine editions until next month (July). So, that means I'll have to be wait desperately to get it and frame it on my wall of iconic photos.
