Lessons

Gisele Bündchen began her way in life in southern Brazil, sharing a room with five sisters and getting bullied by classmates. At the age of 14, fate entered her life suddenly in the form of a modelling scout. Four years later, Gisele appeared in Alexander McQueen's runway show in London, launching her spectacular career as a fashion model—while putting an end to the heroin chic era in fashion. Since then, she has appeared in 600 ad campaigns, more than 2000 magazine covers, and walked in more than 800 fashion shows for the most influential brands in the world. But until now, few people have learned about Gisele the real woman: honest and vulnerable. In Lessons , a work of deep vulnerability and courage, Gisele reveals what she has learned over 37 years that helped her live a meaningful life.
