History

Historical Context

In 1999 Gisele Bündchen signed a five-year contract with Victoria’s Secret, becoming an Angel and helping the brand shift from the “heroin-chic” era that Vogue said she ended that year. Her high-profile deal set a template for supermodels to monetize personal lives, a trend later echoed by Naomi Campbell and, in the 2010s, by Bündchen’s Under Armour and FTX endorsements.
