And Speaking of Gisele's Shoes ...

Thursday March 22, 2007

Did you know Gisele had lent her name and time to a new line of footwear, available in Malaysia?

The Ipanema Gisele Bundchen Collection of footwear by Grendene is inspired by Brazilian Indian legends. A portion of the profits from all products sold will be used to support a campaign aimed at preserving the headwaters and protecting forests of the Xingu river.

Grendene, Brazil's largest shoe manufacturer, held a graphic workshop last April that provided the Kisedje Indians the chance to create designs to be used in the line of footwear. Gisele, the Brazilian-born supermodel, personally chose the images that would be used on the insoles of the sandals.

And she looks great showing them off.

Those sandals are definetly cute but only sold overseas not here and not on the internet on any site. I like them I would have bought a pair or two.
