Sao Paulo, Jun 18 (IANS/EFE): Brazilian model Gisele Bündchen unveiled her new line of lingerie in Sao Paulo over the weekend, with its seductively vibrant colours, delicate lace, transparencies and a wink at eroticism.

Her new line, Gisele Bündchen Intimates, was shown at the Brazil Fashion Salon that opened Sunday and where fashionistas can see the styles of bikinis and lingerie that Sao Paulo designers have come up with for the next Southern Hemisphere summer.

Smiling, she posed for photographers in a black see-through blouse over a bra of the same colour and embellished with soft lace, part of her new collection.

The model didn't speak with reporters, though a note released by her press office said that while preparing the new line, she aimed for "designs that were sensual but with a lot of class".

She noted that she herself uses this intimate wear "on a daily basis, but also for special occasions, because lingerie can say a lot about a woman and her intentions".

In an interview published by Epoca magazine before the fashion show, Bündchen expressed her "satisfaction" about her new career as a designer and divulged which of the intimate items her husband, New England Patriots star quarterback Tom Brady, prefers her to wear.

He likes "the ones with lace and transparencies, with details that reveal a little, but not all, leaving more room for the imagination", the model and businesswoman said.
