Gisele Bundchen has reportedly signed up to be the new face of Balenciaga.

The Brazilian model - who walked the runway for the glamorous fashion brand's spring/summer 2011 collection - has already shot the campaign for the forthcoming season in New York with Steven Meisel according to WWD.

The 30-year-old beauty has previously fronted campaigns for Christian Dior and Victoria's Secret and will replace Stella Tennant, Freja Beha Erichsen and Karen Elson to be the new face of the Spanish luxury fashion house.

Earlier this year, famed photographer Mario Testino claimed Gisele - who is the world's highest earning supermodel - was not very popular with fashion magazine editors when she first started out saying she was too buxom, although they eventually changed their opinions.

He said: "It was, 'Uh, no, the nose, the waist, the breasts.' They saw problems everywhere. A year later, everyone wanted her."

Gisele is juggling her Balenciaga role with being a first time mum - her son Benjamin was born in December 2009 - and recently revealed motherhood is a "wonderful" experience.

She said: "I love being a mother. It is challenging and it is different when everything is not about you and your life - now there is someone much more important. It takes some adjusting, but it is so, so wonderful."
