Gisele Bundchen has launched her own lingerie range

Gisele Bundchen has launched her own lingerie range with a stunning show in her native Brazil.

The supermodel paraded down the runway in items from the Hope Lingerie Gisele Bundchen Intimates collection – starting with a blush pink satin and lace set, followed by a skimpy black set with sheer panelling and another black sequinned number – and said it was a dream come true to have her own underwear range.

In a statement before the show, Gisele said: “Life is made of dreams and I’m very happy to announce that now you will know the Brazilian intimate. My dream come true is for Hope. With you, Gisele Bundchen Brazilian Intimate. Enjoy the show.”

Earlier this month, Gisele was named the world’s top earning model for the seventh year.

The Brazilian beauty has topped the list, compiled by Forbes.com, since 2004, but this year saw her income increase by a huge $20 million to earn $45million over the past 12 months.

Proof of Gisele’s star status enhancing brands is easy to find, as after becoming the face of hair care brand Pantene in March 2010, the company’s sales went up by 40 per cent in Latin America.
