Gisele Bündchen Is Retiring from the Runway: Here Are Her Best Catwalk Moments — vogue.com

Now, the Brazilian bombshell has announced that she is hanging up her stilettos—according to a statement from her sister and spokeswoman, Patricia Bündchen, she is officially retiring her signature, hip-jutting strut from the runway. And we’re not just talking about the Victoria’s Secret shows—it was just last season that she walked for Chanel, and Bündchen’s roots reach way back to the runways of Oscar de la Renta, Versace, and Dolce & Gabbana, among others. Her standout saunters have ranged from her barely clothed breakthrough neophyte moment, drenched in rain and teetering on a slippery sopped-up stage for Alexander McQueen’s Untitled spring 1998 show to her sweet and saccharine opening for Marc Jacobs spring 2004 as a warm-weather stunner. So that’s it: She came, she saw, she conquered, and she’s off to her home country, where she’ll reportedly close out her career on the catwalk at São Paulo Fashion Week for Colcci.
