The iconic supermodel, who is featured on the cover of the new issue of V Magazine — her first cover shoot in years — opened up to the outlet about maintaining longevity in the fashion world,
how modeling and art go hand-in-hand, and how aging is actually the ultimate sign of strength, all while showing off some of the hottest spring/summer couture looks of the season.
"When you're in your twenties, you try to fit in and you try to belong. When you're in your forties, you feel more comfortable in your skin.
I feel like I have only gotten stronger with time, and that's in all [aspects] of my life," Bündchen, who turns 42 in July, told the magazine of embracing aging.
The former Victoria's Secret Angel also touched on her lengthy career in the industry, saying, "I don't see this as a job, it's my life. It truly means everything for me to be able to work."
As part of the cover story – which was shot by Blair Getz Mezibov and styled by Gro Curtis, with Sam Visser for Dior Beauty providing glam for the supermodel –
V also took a trip down memory lane, revisiting some of Bündchen's most iconic shoots with the magazine.
