Supermodel Gisele Bundchen bids adieu to catwalk
The Brazailian supermodel appeared close to tears as she acknowledged the audience during her last catwalk before retiting.
Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen has made her final trip down the runway during Sao Paulo Fashion Week.
The 34-year-old model's husband Tom Brady turned out to watch her emotional strut for the Brazilian brand Colcci, the CNN reported.
Bundchen wrote on her Instagram account "I am grateful that at 14, I was given the opportunity to start this journey. 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."
For her final bow, Bundchen, who walked the runway three times, walked down the catwalk with a group of models all wearing jeans and t-shirts with different drawings of the world-famous model. She appeared close to tears as she gave a thumbs-up.
Bundchen told the Estado de S. Paulo newspaper that she wanted to be with her family more and focus on special projects.
The supermodel's teary mother, Vania Bundchen, who watched the final appearance, said that she did her part and it's a choice people have to respect.
