BORN: May 10, 1965 in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada.
Early life
Evangelista was born to Italian parents and was raised in a working-class, traditional Catholic family in St. Catharines, Ontario where she attended Denis Morris secondary school. She knew she wanted to become a model when she was 12 years old. Evangelista got into the modelling industry when she was discovered by a talent agent at the 1978 Miss Teen Niagara Contest
Career
Evangelista later moved to New York City and signed with Elite Model Management there. She then moved to Paris, to further her career. She also appeared in music videos with George Michael.
Evangelista uttered the quote, "We don't wake up for less than $10,000 a day" (often misquoted as: "We don't get out of bed for less than..." or "I don't get out of bed for less than...") Spoken in Vogue (1990) to Jonathan Van Meter, talking about money and how she and a few other models were calling the shots and changing the game.
In the late 1980s, she cut all her hair off to brandish a little-boy style haircut and was promptly cancelled from all the important runway shows that season. This was the first of many dramatic hairstyle changes. Within months, she appeared on magazine covers everywhere and many women emulated the hairstyle.
In 2007 she signed a multiple year exclusive contract with the cosmetics company L'Oreal Paris.
It was announced in early 2008 that she would be featured in the Prada Fall 2008 campaign seen in magazines internationally.

Lovely Swan Daria Werbowy
First Name: Daria
Last Name: Werbowy
Nationality: Canadian
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Blue / green
Date of Birth: November 19 1983
Place of Birth: Krakow, Poland
Height: 5'11" ; 180cm
Measurements: (US) 34-24-34 ; (EU) 86-61-86
Neck Length: (US) 5.5 in ; (EU) 14 cm
Dress Size: (US) 4 ; (EU) 34
Shoe Size: (US) 8 ; (EU) 39
Personal life
Although born in Kraków, Poland, Werbowy also holds Ukrainian citizenship. When she was three years old, Werbowy's Ukrainian parents moved to Mississauga, Ontario, a suburb of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. She has a brother named Orest and sister named Oksana. At age fourteen, Werbowy was 5'11", willowy and sporting braces. She attended St. Sofia Elementary School and Cawthra Park Secondary School.
Professional career
Werbowy had never seriously considered modeling, but found herself launched into the business after meeting a schoolmate's mother who headed Toronto's Susan J. Model & Talent Management. At age 14, Werbowy won a national modelling contest, but after a year of working with Susan J. Model & Talent, however, Werbowy thought she could be doing more with another agency and left.
After switching over to Elite Models, Werbowy began landing several prominent bookings in Canada but still had not achieved much international success. When Elite Canada's head scout, Elmer Olsen, started his own agency, Werbowy followed and her career began to flourish. Within a few years, and under the guidance of International Management Group, Werbowy had gained a foothold on the international modelling stage. Daria has considered taking a break from the fashion industry when she is 27 to sail around the world.
Though she relinquished the world's No.1 runway model status to new "it girls", Werbowy holds the record for opening and closing the most shows in one season. To date, Werbowy's clients have included Lancôme, Prada, Yves Saint Laurent, Pepe Jeans, Roberto Cavalli, Gucci, Hermès, Valentino, David Yurman, Missoni, Versace, Louis Vuitton and Chanel. In her first season, Fall/Winter 2003, Werbowy captured two of the modeling world's most coveted assignments: the cover of Vogue Italia, thrice (in July, August and October); and Prada's Fall/Winter ad campaign.
In July 2007, Forbes listed Werbowy as the ninth highest-earning model in the world after Karolina Kurkova, Natalia Vodianova, Carolyn Murphy, Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima, Heidi Klum, Kate Moss and Gisele Bündchen. Her earnings between June 2006 and June 2007 were in the order of $3.5 million.
On June 3, 2008, it was announced that she would be inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame.
Hobbies: Daria enjoys playing beach volleyball, basketball, sailing & snowboarding.
