Gisele can add green advocate to her resume; she’s signed on to host GiGi & The Green Team, a series of animated webisodes about a supermodel by day who turns into an environmentalist superhero at night.

2. The Standard Hotels have partnered with Quicksilver on a line of men’s and women’s bathing suits. Until those come out online and in Standard Hotel vending machines on August 8, we have other good picks for you. [WWD]
