Yesterday’s Colcci show was a surprising runway farewell for Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen, who backed by her friends and family sitting in the front row took her final catwalk. After the historic final walk Bundchen took to Instagram:
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.
Whether this really is a runway farewell or just a long break the time will tell. Bundchen is certainly at this time able to take some time off. This move by the supermodel while her own decision has to do a lot with the state of the industry today. Enlisting a supermodel to take your runway is not a bargain deal, top brands are easily spending millions to organize their runway shows. Grabbing a supermodel for the catwalk might cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in addition.
