Gisele Bundchen to design her début fashion collection for Dolce & Gabbana


GISELE BUNDCHEN is to "do a Kate" and design a range of clothing - with her suitably qualified friends Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. Despite receiving various offers to design a range in the past, we hear that the Body from Brazil was always keen to stick to doing what she knew best until Dolce & Gabbana, with whom Gisele is close, encouraged her to get in on the act with them. She is currently the face of the design duo's new perfume, The One, worldwide sales of which have reached the £75 million mark. Ever the shrewd business woman, it seems the potential figures have done the talking for Gisele - whose sex-bomb attitude combined with Dolce & Gabbana's raunchy signature will surely be a match made in design heaven. Bundchen by Dolce & Gabbana will be released next spring and sold worldwide. (December 20 2007, AM)
