Earlier this month the model took her final turn on the catwalk during Sao Paulo Fashion Week for Colcci after two decades as a runway model.

The 34-year-old model explained the reasoning for her retirement to Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper.

"Automatically my body tells me if what I do is worth it, and it asked to stop. I respect my body, it's a privilege to be able to stop," she said.
