Brazilian supermodel GISELE BUNDCHEN is taking over UMA THURMAN's role as the face of luxury goods label Louis Vuitton.

PULP FICTION actress Thurman has represented the French fashion house for two seasons, but Louis Vuitton designer MARC JACOBS believes the company needs to use professional models again.

Jacobs explains, "We just wanted a fashion icon more than the celebrity thing.

"I certainly feel Gisele is iconic and recognised all over the world as Gisele. Also, the clothes were hot and sexy and colourful, and we thought she would exaggerate the strength and the heat of the collection."

Previous faces of Louis Vuitton include JENNIFER LOPEZ, SCARLETT JOHANSSON, CHRISTINA RICCI and CHLOE SEVIGNY.

i don't like giselle advertising things. i was (am) totally disappointed with her victoria's secret modeling. i am a hetero girl, but i want to look at the lingerie i want to buy on sexy, hot girls. she never looks sexy to me, for some reason i think of her as kind of androgenous (spelling) looking. boring.

It's her body.... it's very tube-like and somewhat boyish.

at "tube-like" that is true.

She's beautiful, I just wish she didn't get a boob job. I also love LV! Nice match although I do prefer Uma.

I couldn't agree more. She's nothing to look at. And she has so many campaigns! I can't stand it anymore. She's part of the reason I hardly ever buy fashion mags these days. I can't stand to look at her expressionless face. Gisele's phenomenal success proves that being extremely skinny and extremely tall are all it takes to be considered beautiful in the fashion industry. That face is so plain and boring. It's not ugly, it's just there. Give me Adriana Lima any day. She's lovely. And her face shows emotion in her photos.

I don't mind Gisele, but I always thought Uma's LV campaign shots were gorgeous. Her skin and colouring always looked pretty and classy. Those shots of Gisele look a lot less... smooth? Less refined, maybe, too many colours going on. Perhaps they're not the final ones we'll be seeing in mags though.

Uma's ads were classy and gorgeous... they should have stuck with her for a little bit longer.

I liked Uma's ads a lot too. These Gisele's shots here do nothing for me.

(Not that I was going to buy anything by LV in either cases

)

I know what you guys mean about her boyish figure. When you see underwear, you want to see it on a curvy, sexy attractive woman, not a skinny stick with no hips.
