V Magazine Swimsuit Issue

V magazine’s May issue is the fashion insider’s answer to the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. Editor in chief Stephen Gan and Mario Testino started talking about producing a different kind of swimsuit issue last year and chose models that had a special connection to Testino. The magazine, on newsstands now, has six different covers, featuring Kate Moss, Gisele Bündchen, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Eva Herzigova and Daria Werbowy. “Our only requirement was that these were six cover girls known immediately by their first names,” said Gan.

Gisele Bundchen – Harper’s Bazaar

“What I love about her is her sensuality and energy” seconds designer Donatella Versace. “Gisele is one of a kind.”

In her Harper’s Bazaar interview Gisele reminds herself that It took her several years to make her mark, and she endured the typical gasp-inducing criticisms that plague most modeling careers. “I’ll never forget the day when a woman came up to me and said, ‘No, you could never be on a magazine cover. Your face features don’t work; your eyes are small, you have a small face but a big nose.’ I was only 14 and I had never noticed any of that stuff, you know?” Luckily, Gisele’s father supplied a snappy comeback for her. “He said to me, ‘Next time that happens, you tell the person that you have a big nose and a big personality to match.’ Ha!”
