Gisele Bündchen for C&A



Gisele Bündchen launched a special collection in partnership with retail chain C&A. The collection includes blazers, skinny jeans, shorts, dresses, skirts and tops all in neutral tones. Key colors include black, white, grey, nude, blue, green and vivid purple. There's also ankle boots and bags in ecologic leather like.
All pieces were inspired by Gisele's closet and the uber model participated in the whole concept and process: “C&A invited me to create a collection that has my signature personal style. It was really cool being involved in the design side of the fashion business. It is more fun to be part of the process and not just a model. My goal with the collection is for it to look fashionable and be super comfy,” she says.

Bundchen is also starring the campaign and modelled some pieces in the store front at Iguatemi shopping mall in São Paulo. The collection is the latest C&A special collection, which also includes previous collaborations with Fergie, Beyoncé, Christina Aguilera, plus few more Brazilian designers and British designer Stella McCartney.
