What happens when two legends come together? Well, if you’re top Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen and super photographer Mario Testino, then the obvious answer would be golden magic.
STORY: Fashion Photographer Mario Testino Receives Lifetime Achievement Award!
Gisele was photographed by the South American photographer for the December issue of British Vogue and the results were stunning. Accompanying the editorial, which saw Bundchen in ’80s and ’70s inspired colors, is an interview with the new mom and football wife.
Here’s some of what the 31-year-old supermodel she told the magazine:
On having to work hard for her fabulous figure:
“Like I tell my five sisters, who don’t work at it very hard at all, whatever you put in, you get out. I’m not afraid of working hard at anything, whatever it is.”
On husband Tom Brady:
“Oh, Tom. He’s such a gentle giant. I’m so proud of him. When I go to watch him play, I’m like this big cheerleader, jumping up and down for him. I was born such a passionate person. I don’t know if that’s my blessing or my curse.”
On being a house chick:
“I’m a Cancer, see. I’m home-loving. I really enjoy feeling safe, in my own environment, surrounded by the people I love.”
On thinking of herself:
“People think if you look after yourself you’re being selfish, you know. But what Tom taught me – and he is a living example of this – is that in order to be your best, you have to honor your own needs first. If I honor my needs first, I will be the best wife, the best mom, the best sister, the best friend. I have to come first, because then everyone benefits.”
We obviously love looking at Gisele, but actually hearing her give a unique take on love and beauty is refreshing and inspiring.
