Gisele's Not The One

(NEW YORK) Gisele Bündchen wants to put to rest the persistent rumors that have her designing a special collection for Dolce & Gabbana. Through her agency IMG Models (whose parent company IMG also owns Fashion Week Daily), the Brazilian supermodel said, "I am surprised and flattered by the news that there was a party being planned in honor of a collaboration with Domenico and Stefano. [I am] surprised certainly as no such line is in development."

In December, reports surfaced that Bündchen, the face of Dolce & Gabbana's The One fragrance, was  designing a range of clothing and accessories with friends Dolce and Gabbana. A release date of this spring was even touted, as were projected sales of $200 million, though to date no garments have arrived in stores. Then, on February 25, an additional report claimed that the designers were planning a star-studded party in Rome to celebrate the launch of the collaboration, followed by events in New York, London, Dublin, Paris, Barcelona, and São Paulo.

"They are two of the most talented designers in the world and are in no way in need of my help to complement their collections," Bündchen continued. "I have been so grateful to participate in their campaigns and runway shows and look forward to a continued relationship with them in this capacity."
