We wanted to stop posting on the Victoria’s Secret fashion show. Really, we did. But alas, their marketing is more powerful than our will. So let’s talk about the model-search winner! Not to brag or anything, but we knew as soon as we saw Kylie Bisutti’s MySpace page, set to the tune of AC/DC’s “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap,” that she’d win all along. Not just because she’s blonde and busty, and the American masses, who like blonde and busty, were in charge of selecting the winner. But also because she has that little something extra, a twinkle in not only her bra but her smile! And she’s a married Christian Aries, so she must be wholesome despite her talent for wearing underwear on national network television, and if anyone gets ahead in fashion, it is the wholesome. Unsurprisingly, it didn’t take long for her to find a real agent. She just signed with One Management and is said to have booked a Victoria’s Secret swimwear shoot on St. Barts. Also, she is newly blonder, after her agent told her she wasn’t blonde enough. And you thought she’d just disappear as soon as the show ended, hidden away in the back of church with a tray of cupcakes and a Big Mac and a thermos of Kool-Aid. Well. She’s showing you.

from GQ Italia 2009

She is 25-year-old, brazilian, she’s one of the famous models that every year wear the wings in th annual Victoria’s Secret show. izabel goulart is everything you think when you think of a top-model. and something more: she is natural in talking of herself and doesn’t want to create a gap between her and the interviewer. i saw it immediately when i asked “what don’t you want absolutely to talk about?” and she answered “you can ask me whatever you want” with a smile.

thanks very much. reading at magazines seems like for the models there are always the same questions..
yes, like what is your diet, your favorite designer, how you started..

Yeah. so… how did you start?
(laugh) i was discovered when i was in a market.

usual agent with a good eye?
kind of. he was a talent scout and i was at the market with mu mum. my mother thought immediately he could be a honest man.
i didn’t even know the meaning of modelling. i was 14 and i lived in sao carlo, 200.000 people and not very far from sao paulo, and i spent my days with school and homework. i didn’t know at all the modelling world.

your debut wasn’t exactly a normal one..
ah yes! it was my very first runway and i was terrified at the idea to fall from heels. but what fells was the top of my bikini! i was in the middle of the catwalk and i didn’t know what to do, if start to cry, if covering me, if going back or going ahead.. and so i stayied there blocked while the photographers were in fire.

but from that moment your career flys..
litterally i took the fly for Paris to work there…and i never took a plane before that.
how has your life changed from that?
in free time i do the things i’ve always done. i go for a walk, i go to gym or do shopping, i like to cook and stay with friends. but when i’m working i prefer not to distract and i concentrate on my job.

and when you come back in Brazil? how is your family behaviour in front of your celebrity?
they make me paint the walls.

how?
my father works in that field and so it’s very helpful for me to do that, because i love to change color of my home’s walls often.
my mother has to take care of my sister and my other 5 brothers. i spend some times with the youngest ones and i take them from school..

I imagine in Brazil there are people that don’t take in one year the money you take in one day. do you feel sometimes to justify yourself with other people for being so fortunate?
no never. for brazilian people to be rich means to be surrounded by people who love us. my friends and I don’t do extreme things to have fun. we simply do a karaoke or a barbecue. and if sometimes for work i visit a super beautiful place, at the end of the year we go there all together, i book tickets and hotel. they’d do the same for me.

let’s talk about men. after your lovestory with businessman marcelo costa, there’s a rumour that now you are dating a russian football player Diniyar B.
(she stares at me).. Bilya what? (she laughs) it’s not true, i don’t even know this man, i don’t know anyone in russia!
really they wrote this of me?

are you saying you are single?
no, marcelo and I are still together, and i am also very in love with him. but this story of russian football player i really want to tell you/ it’d really like to know from where it started…..

Yellow part:
since march Izabel is ambassador in the world for Diabetes research foundation, they are no profit organization to help the research. izabel really was involved in the problem because her little brother has diabetes since when he was 1 year old, and izabel know how dramatic can be. ” still now, that my brother is 10, my mom wakes up in the night to check if everthing is regular”

little bio: she walked on runway for Valentino, Jil Sander, Ralph Lauren, Chanel, stella mcCartney. she has been the face of Armani.

From Brazil, as usual. Izabel was born in Sao Carlo, not far from Sao Paulo. she started modelling career at 14 years old.

The bond between Heidi Klum and husband Seal just got a little closer.

On Friday, a Los Angeles commissioner approved Klum’s legal name change to Heidi Samuel, her husband’s surname.

In her filing, Klum, 36, gave a one-word reason for the change: Marriage. The couple tied the knot more than four years ago, and Klum gave birth to their fourth child last month. This week, the model made a surprise appearance when she walked the runway in the Victoria’s Secret fashion show in New York just six weeks after giving birth.

A rep for Klum did not comment when asked if the Project Runway host intends to be known professionally as Heidi Samuel from now on.
