Within the framework of the last week of the fashion week of New York, Carolina Herrera organized an exclusive party in a Studio in the Soho district, to present its new fragrance 212 VIP Rosé, whose image is the Gisele Bündchen.
It is eleven at night a Monday, Frost Manhattan, and while Carolina Herrera Jr. receives the guests and chat with friends, Gisele waits for Cosmo in a room to have an intimate talk.

Before going to see her, its representative tells me that it is the first time that the Venezuelan designer chooses a celebrity as the image of her perfumes. And it is that Gisele is one of the few models that managed to transcend the catwalks to turn her name into a trademark. For the world, she is simply “Gisele”.

Iconic Victoria´s Secret model, dated four years with Leo Di Caprio, “after Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell, it appreciated and redefined the concept of supermodel”, in terms of the legendary director of Vogue, Anna Wintour, and for seven years, leads the ranking of the top best listed in the world, with 42 million dollars to her credit, according to Forbes magazine. Away from the catwalks and filming sets, she ended up finding her true love in the Court!In 2009, she married Tom Brady, American football player, with whom she has two children, Benjamin (4) and Vivian Lake (1).

While I hope it, and after making this overview of her life in my head, I start to assume that a Monday, close to midnight, model of only 42 million should want to go to the party to have fun or to your home to be with his family. But when Gisele opens the door, not surprising the more obvious, her beauty (is splendid!) It has a black dress with lace that Stylize it even more. And despite being flaquisima, has curves sexy that away it from the stereotypical androgynous and unattainable models), but the energy and warmth that she conveys.There is much talk. She loves to talk. And you are encouraged to do so in Spanish. Laughs, she gestures, she jokes. She is passionate when talking about Brazil, much more than to refer to the great designers and photographers who worked in these 20 years of her career. Three things makes it well clear: loves her country, being a mother and having a husband who, above all, listening to and contains it. It seems that if it there is a number of minutes agreed to the interview, would be talking about them until dawn. But outside waiting for the VIP party. Luckily, before going to do what it knows best, posing for the cameras, let us know a little more about the woman away from the flashes.

Outside there is a party that you are hosting, having fun these at events ?
– Yes. Even though I do not go out every night, I love to dance. At a party, it is difficult that I can stay put, I am that not never leave the track. I love the hits of the 80’s, Daft Punk, Stevie Wonder and Rihanna. Do you know what? They always ask me whats my best outfit for an event of this style. And, indeed, beyond what I put, what makes me feel more sexy dance. Barefoot, dress or jeans, I danced as if no one see me, as the saying goes. Could it be my Brazilian blood ?

– can be… the Brazilian move like no one! Talking about your country, what is the first thing you do when you’re there ?
– A few days before traveling, I call my mom and beg her: ‘Ma, please buy me water coconut’. I like it a lot and I only find it in Brazil. Then, I make home plans. I have five sisters and take this opportunity to organize large meals with my family. The lasagne of my mom and my dads roasts tend to be excuses to see us. Years I live in United States and I have travelled the world, but Brazil is my favorite place. I relax a lot when I am there, because I’m in reunion with my essence, my culture, my people… That feeling is unique. Now I’m happy because the world is coming to us and the country is excited about the subject.

– Would you like a final between Argentina and Brazil ?
It would be great, wouldn’t it? Because they are rivals unleashed more passions on the pitch. Luckily, this rivalry exists only in football. I love the Argentines. When I was teenager, vacacion with my parents in Camboriu and was full of Argentineans. I made friends and left with everyone. It like you have fun! I remember that on the beach, singing: “they bite, they sting the mosquito”.

– You were born in a football country and you marry a player, but in football…
– I Had no escape: my destiny was to be close to a ball (laughs). Speaking seriously, Tom is beautiful and, as an athlete, has an incredible body, but what I really fell in love was his sweetness. He is noble, honest and has a big heart. Always see the best of each thing. That is a great quality. Soon as I met him, I felt that it would be a great companion.

– You are one of the hottest couples, you suffered jealousy or fear of infidelity ?
– No, because he makes me feel safe. That is key in the relationship. I’m used to that in my environment, all are pending from the outside and fall in love from the outside. He, on the other hand, is sensitive and listens to me, is attentive to me. That makes me confident.

– What plans you have fun do with him ?
– Go to the movies or eating out. Both travel far for work, but once a week, religiously, we plan a date for just us. When you have children, it is important to have that time with your guy. We take this opportunity to talk about us, we are sincere and direct, and share what happens to us. That is why we work together.

– You’re a difficult wonder woman ?
– Lol I am simple, although I notice the details. When I work all day and my husband waiting for me with a dinner in the light of the candles, I’m already conquered. He knows that the themes of Bob Marley and Jack Johnson can not miss in an evening to make me even more happy.

– You have a divine family, a successful career and the best valued model. What do you lack ?
– I feel that I reached more than I imagined when I was 16. At that age, I took a risk to live in New York to be a model, without even knowing English. I learned the language when listening to cassettes of Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men. What I’m going is that long ago I’m here fighting for my dreams. And I got to meet quite a few. I have worked with designers and most prestigious photographers, I traveled the world… But I got to the point that external things or materials do not fill. From now on, I need to think of me. I want to get to know me better and discover what really matter to me. Also, I want to focus my energy in supporting causes that protect animals and the environment, two topics with which I am very committed.

– If you had the day off tomorrow, just for you, what would you do ?
– I would go to a massage! I realized that I live giving away spa days to my friends because, in reality, it’s what I want! One is accustomed to pamper yourself with shoes, clothing, handbags, but never with massages. Now that I think about it, this year, with Tom we are five years of marriage. Soon as I get home, I will tell him: “love, 20 years ago that I run on… do not you think that I deserve a day of spa as anniversary gift ?

INTERVIEW:

Prior to shine in the parade of Colcci, on Wednesday (April 2), the top had a chat with Contigo!

Smiling, hugging, exchanging kisses from time to time, Gisele Bündchen, 33, and Tom Brady, 36, received a group of friends in videoconferencing Emiliano Hotel, in Jardins area, in São Paulo. It was late Wednesday (April 2) and lacked three hours to the couple starring in the Colcci fashion show, one of the most anticipated of the Sao Paulo Fashion Week. Fitted to model the spotlight on the catwalk, the football player’s attention in the crowd, and the owner Vanya, 65, mother of Gisele, tanning Benjamin, 4, Vivian, 1, sons who stayed at the hotel during the show. “Came spend a few days at work, but the weather is a family party! We were all three rooms next to each other with open, my sons and nephews playing in the hallway doors. A delight!?” – Said Gisele, barefoot, with her legs crossed on the couch in the hotel, showing their prettiness stripped in a loose jumpsuit, a few coats of mascara and lipstick mouth.

With a rapid and strong speech gaucho accent, she approached the delights of family life, the shock of a fire which affected days ago his apartment in Boston, in the United States, beyond the attainment of their true wealth. All this in a conversation watered coconut water.

– How to come to Brazil to work ?
– I grab any opportunity to return to my country. There is no place in the world that I feel better than in Brazil. It is my land, where I grew up and I feel a different energy in all directions. I live in the United States for many years. Like it there, but it is very different from the way I was raised and my customs. I can not explain, but when I get here, it’s a relief, I can relax more. As much as I enjoy living there and there, Brazil is my home.

– And why not again? There are plans ?
– I’m married to an American and not a decision I can make alone. In any relationship we arrive and impose something. I met Tom in the United States, he works there. Thank God my profession gives me the opportunity to travel, to go back to Brazil and work in different places. Incidentally, full 20-year career in January. This month, at age 14, I left my hometown (Horizontia / RS) to live in Sao Paulo and start working as a model. I’ll celebrate too! But I can not say how, because it is in the definition.

– When he began his career at age 14, dreamed of becoming one of the most influential models of the world ?
– I never imagined so many achievements. My goal has always been and remains to give my best.

– Which consider your greatest achievement ?
– There is only one … I left Horizontia new and had a vision like this (puts hands beside his face, pulling her peripheral vision) . Working broadened my reality of how humans evolve … I traveled the world, met different people … Imagine: no just or 2nd Grade today and speak five languages! I am therefore grateful for every opportunity I had, I managed to overcome the challenges.

– And what the toughest challenges ?
– Every day is different. Over time, I discovered I was never the victim in adversity. I learned early that when you think? Poor? Gives permission to the other person or the situation take control. I stopped talking:? Such a person did it against me? or be anxious to want to control certain situation. In the face of any challenge, I think: What did I do to get through this? What can I learn from what is happening?? I can not change the other. But I can change me. Have spoken to my face that I was the ugliest woman in the world, I had the great nose, that I was the most beautiful woman in the world … I talked so much … And at these words, I remain the same person, searching evolution. Obviously I’m no longer that baby face of 14 years. I am a woman of 33.

– How does the future of their profession before the passing of the years ?
– Do not know how long I’ll last even as a model. I have no crystal ball (laughs). But the time is here, I’ll give my best, I will enjoy myself. Live the present. Do not want to think about the future, why not happened yet. The future belongs to God alone. No one can guarantee me that I will be alive tomorrow, okay? But what makes you think so, you can die tomorrow? these Day (March 27), had a fire to three buildings in my apartment. Where I live, the buildings are coladinhos. Was so severe that two firefighters died. Imagine it: the guy left home, thinking that would have one more day of work, who would come home and have dinner with the kids. But he died. Then, in the middle of that mess, spoke to me:? Take your kids, your belongings and leave the house now?. Then, I looked around, I saw so much amazing thing I bought with my work and just crossed my mind to go to the drawer and pick up my passport. In the nick of time, my possessions were summarized passport (laughs)! The whole time, my feeling was: How lucky I am to be able to take my life and my family!? Do not want to live the future.

– Physically you look like your mother. Shall not mind that you will look like her in the future ?
– My mother never had plastic surgery, will not even take care of her varices (laughs)! She tells me: Got to 65 and I will not deny that this story is in my body?. I’ll tell you: I’m 33 years old, know nothing of the future. If I say something is that I want to live in nature. At the same time, my children will grow up, go to college, work … My goal in life is to raise my children with love, a lot of integrity. It is the most important thing for me.

– How do you see yourself in your children ?
– Children are very kind, outgoing and I also. I’m very physical, kiss, hug, talk … If they were here, you would see: they grab me as if they had spent a month away from me. Seeking to create them as I was raised. In my house, there are fruit trees. With are greedy ? Then they can go there and pick fruit on the tree. Now it’s strawberry season and will eat strawberry, pineapple does not have. Benjamin, who is maiorzinho already demonstrates a love for animals. Need to see: he goes through a line of ants and want to help them (laughs)! Benny wants to take care of the animals and all over the world with whom they live. My husband and I also seek that children become insured persons. Fell ? Raises, it’s ok, let’s go next. Such is life.

– Wish you and Tom raise a family ?
– It was always my dream to have three children. You are seeing this tattoo? (She lifts her right foot, showing a crescent and three stars in the ankle. It’s Brand was held in 2006 in New York.) The moon is the symbol of my sign, Pisces, which is very close to his family. The three stars were already my desire to have three children. In the end, I had two and won one of this (referring to John, 6, son of Tom’s previous relationship). I think my family is complete. Today, I am an accomplished woman.

– … and powerful. Seven years ago you appear at the top of several lists of the American business magazine Forbes. How do you deal with that ?
– It’s sad, because these people who write here do not have my account number (laughs). Gain as well, but is not all this talking. I have been audited in the U.S. because of the Forbes list. And frankly, whether or not I’m in this ranking, I do not care. I have the same interests, the same day to day, any woman: I want to raise my children and be a good wife and work. What I value: my children are educated ? My husband is happy ? People felt a positive energy to my side ? Should have a journal to assess the knowledge, wisdom and love of people. This, indeed, is power!

GISELE BÜNDCHEN is turning her hand to singing again, recording a cover of Blondie’s Heart of Glass for H&M.

The Brazilian supermodel debuted her singing voice for the company’s autumn/winter 2013 campaign – for which she recorded All Day And All Of The Night by The Kinks. That song was available for free download from Hm.com, but was also on iTunes to raise money for UNICEF – enabling the purchase of vaccines for children.

For the Blondie cover – which accompanies a campaign also starring Bündchen, shot by Lachlan Bailey – the model worked with French music producer and DJ Bob Sinclar, an experience which left her in awe.

“I never in a million years thought that I would record a song and to work with a producer like Bob,” she said.

The song and video for Heart of Glass will be released in May.
