http://www.interview...ancois-nars-1#_ April 2013 issue of Interview Linda Evangelista, who has known Nars since the late '80s—and has frequently served as a canvas for some of his most iconic work—recently met up with him at the Star Lounge at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel off Central Park in Manhattan. LINDA EVANGELISTA: Do you remember when we first met? FRANÇOIS NARS: I do remember. Do you? EVANGELISTA: I don't. I have no memory of anything anymore. People tell me things . . . NARS: You're not the only one. EVANGELISTA: Naomi [Campbell] remembers everything. NARS: Because she has a tape recorder inside of her. EVANGELISTA: Yes, built in. It's unbelievable. But there are so many things where I'm like, "No, I don't remember that"—and they're, like, big things . . . Actually, I remember the awful things about those early show days because I felt so out of place there. NARS: During those early shows? EVANGELISTA: Because initially, the rest of the girls were all "show" girls and I wasn't. I didn't have a place yet. I wasn't a "print" girl or a "show" girl. I felt like I was the new one. NARS: Well, I'll refresh your memory. We met at the Calvin [Klein] show. You were doing Calvin—I think it was maybe one of the first times. I did your makeup, and I remember that I was not focusing enough at a certain point backstage and— EVANGELISTA: Here it comes . . . [laughs] NARS: I think I was re-powdering you, and Calvin was talking to me, and you said to me, "You've got to focus." Then I remember the next day I was working with Steven and I said to him, "I worked with this girl, and she was heaven. I don't know why, but I loved painting her and I loved the attitude. She was very pro—I turn my head, and I was not focusing, and she said, ‘Focus.' There was something about her . . ." And he said, "Yeah, somebody from her agency told me I should see her." So I was one of the ones who actually told Steven, "You have to see this girl. She's definitely working." [laughs] I remember like it was yesterday. I said to Steven, "You know, this girl was tough . . . But I kind of like that." EVANGELISTA: I apologize because I didn't know that you could do powder without looking. [both laugh] But I do remember walking into Steven's studio for that first shooting with Polly Mellen and you and Oribe. NARS: I did everything I could so that you'd fall in love with the makeup and the hair. EVANGELISTA: But there were so many girls booked on that shooting, and we were just sitting and waiting. Then I got my turn, and I got so insecure because you were all talking about my gums and my knees. I thought, "Oh, they don't like me. There's something wrong with my gums. They're saying, ‘When she smiles, we can see her gums.' " And I'm like, I'm gonna get thrown out of here because of my knees. NARS: But all those things were the things that made us fall in love with you. EVANGELISTA: I thought you were critiquing. I thought I was gonna be thrown out for the knees and the gums. NARS: And it was the beginning of a very long collaboration. I remember one time, when I lived on Broome Street, I was talking with Steven on the phone—I was upset about a boyfriend or whatever. I was so depressed. So Steven said to me, "Okay, we're coming over." So you all came over and did like a little runway show, and you were half naked with a fur coat . . .

Vogue Usa 2006.

When “top” dominated the Earth. Height, decay and fall By: Jesús Rodríguez | 10 of marzo of 2013 Time it was the bible. And the sagrada writing of the media had dedicated its cover of the 16 of November of 1991 to supermodels. The image of his to cover it wasNaomi Campbell. It was 21 years old. Súbtítulo of the news article was Beauty and the bucks. Beauty and paste. In the interior, it was described, with the legendary rigor and masters in the best magazine of the world (that weeks before had taken in that front page Gulf War, the corruption in just concluded Soviet Union or the destruction of the ozone layer), the complex economic and mediatic phenomenon together with the phenomenon of top model. Until those days, we ignored all they. They did not have name. In the eighty,Lauren Hutton, Iman and Inès of the Fressange had laid the way. But this new generation was another thing. An earthquake. It moved million in publicity and marketing. And it won the pages of great publications fashionable and carried out in universal incipiente of vídeoclips. A pair of months before, Canal + it had already produced a documentary one in black and white callModels, directed by the photographer Peter Lindbergh, one of first that portrayed to the new divas of the fashion. We also wanted to explore that planet. It was decided to make a great news article on top in the Weekly Country. We left fishing. We spoke with conseguidores. We fattened the hook. We sent the sedal. Negative result. Impossible to interview a Linda Evangelista, Claudia Schiffer, Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, Stephanie Seymour, Karen Mulder or Helena Christensen. Less still to photograph them. They did not have time. They requested much money. We did not pay. In addition, Evangelista had sent to the orb a phrase that would become eslogan of that generation of models that was going away to turn an icon of the 90: “I do not rise of the bed by less than 10,000 dollars”. In that land we played. We waited. The chance came four months later. Loewe, who was reaching the safe shores of the LVMH group, wanted to circle their solemn image and make their first steps in the prêt à porter. Extend the business. Sonar. Be cool. He pulled checkbook and joined to the first division for inaugural parade in Madrid Retiro. Their financial muscle was questionable, but their perfumes gave much of himself (as it still is today). Its makers threw the rest. We had to take the opportunity. We talked to them. Nobody promised us anything. No access was assured. The top were very young, very rich, very fickle, capricious and surrounded by sycophants and hustlers. They had left home some girls being almost. We were going to spend or eye drop. Tried luck. On the morning of February 19, 1992, photographer Chema Conesa and I planted in the headquarters of the event in Madrid. They had arrived the night before. Only Linda Evangelista, number one, who was 26, landed early that morning from Paris by private jet. Charge 18,000 euros each at the time by a few hours of work. I never knew if we slipped and slipped us. If we were ready or, Carmen Valino, the head of communications for Loewe, imperceptible gestured to the door thugs have leeway to those two poor mortals. We entered unexpectedly in El Dorado. In a white room, minimalist zen, very young women full of overwhelming beauty that moved in jeans and t-shirt with the majesty and the ease with which hovers above a makeshift red carpet, bookers and solicitous waiters serving a sophisticated Paris and Mediterranean brunch mixture in which plentiful champagne. Nobody knew we were journalists. We sat and watched. It was nice for a couple of hours. In chronicling the next day I did for the last of the country, so that situation described under the title The catwalk queens inaccessible, "Evangelista, Naomi Campbell and Karen Mulder blonde smiling broadly shared table, conversation, and omelette mediasnoches ham. Which has been defined as the new Brigitte Bardot, Claudia Schiffer, the more fixed the group as a Chanel minifaldero, ate cake and strawberries without saying a word. After lunch, pilgrimage to call the boyfriend. The first problem of the day had come when the divine Evangelista demanded a handset, utensil lacking organization and had to be rushed to satisfy buy Linda-who offered to pay from his pocket, and that foreign models used with profusion. Naomi Campbell, sheathed in a very narrow with butterfly print dress and heeled boots them his intimate Linda tried half a dozen times without success and left the locker room without being able to communicate hills-who knows-with Robert de Niro or devalued boxer Mike Tyson. " We were emboldened. We had a story. After dessert, we went straight for Linda Evangelista, Canadian of Italian origin, of humble origin, a model blonde, brunette or redhead as the script demanded, he had failed the provincial title of Miss Falls in his teens, but was recruited to early 80s by the man she would marry in 1987, Gerald Marie, an agent models look partying patibulario and fellow of which was to become the top official photographer, Peter Lindbergh, who would go down in history alongside partner John Casablancas, to give birth in a night of wine and roses to the phenomenon of the supermodel. At the February 1992 article described well the meeting with Evangelist: "Outside the pavilion, waiting photographers a chance to portray the top. Was not. Organization's slogan was:" No pictures, no interviews, wheels no news. "Linda Evangelista only deigned to have a conversation with the country, yes, repeating every second during the 15 minutes it took to interview the same sentence:" Only two questions. " Evangelista cornered. He agreed. Without make-up, wearily, and full black, agreed to let him do some portraits Conesa without light or sense to a brick wall. The photographer, with his terse English, trying to give the top not the frightened in the first minute with a few sentences: "Great, Linda. Great Linda ". "Beautiful". "Just a moment, Linda." And fired. While I was questioning a catalog of clichés. His bodyguards moved restlessly. The best response Evangelista appeared with the last question. When asked if he considered the number one business. He looked me up and down with his beautiful face of evil and declared: "Look, I'm a person not a number. I've never thought of myself as the eight or eighty. I'm Linda Evangelista, I have not replaced anyone and no one can replace me. And when the end will be well, for I have done what I wanted to do and I will have achieved what I wanted to get. "The interview was on the cover of The Country Weekly on March 15, 1992, with photographs by Karl Lagerfeld Chanel gave us. Lagerfeld not only wanted to be a fashion designer, I wanted to be an artist. I never went back to take care of the modeling world. The phenomenon began to limp to the end of the decade, with the succession of scandals, drugs, crushes and financial actors and eccentricities of splitting hairs about supermodels and even richer past. At the time, there emerged a new generation of top from Russia and Brazil, native to the information age and with a fee ranging from beauty and cool head apotheosis of Gisele Bündchen and the haunting beauty and hot head Kate Moss. It was the decline of the empire of the girls of Elite. In November 1999, a BBC report with hidden camera directed by Donald MacIntyre entitled, fashion exposed, unveiled the dirty sexual habits and economic Gerald Marie, the priest of the phenomenon of the top, and the co-owner of Elite immersed in a world of child molesters in powdered cocaine. A year before CBS had issued another report that top candidates unveiled as minors were initiated into drug use by those responsible for some agencies. The holy trinity of complaints the book was completed with the reporter for The New York Times, Michael Gross, entitled The ugly business of the most beautiful women. Paris Marie greeted us in the cold industrial space that housed the European headquarters of the Elite agency, which had been active all great, the first, his ex-wife, Linda Evangelista. Only a week earlier, Marie had granted his first interview to Talk, the New York magazine created by journalist Tina Brown, former editor of The New Yorker and Vanity Fair (guillotine trying unsuccessfully to their former posts). Oliviero Toscani asked a series of nude portraits for Talk and country. When it was our turn to talk to him, the interview with Gerald Marie was very unpleasant. He was a ruthless peacock who did not regret anything. Entered into endless disputes with the BBC. Overcame. She was unsinkable. My first impression of the character, reflected in a report by The Country Weekly June 2000, entitled Knives on the catwalk, was this: "The appearance of the president of Elite Europe is disturbing. Medium height, broad shoulders, square shoulders, narrow waist, very tan, gleaming smile, boxer's nose. Each wrinkle on her face seems to keep a secret. When descending from a chauffeured Volvo S80 followed by his last girlfriend Brazilian, before entering his office, watch both sides of the street with concern ". Following that introduction, the first paragraph of the story was defining and definitive. could have been also the last: "A pig with women. A business genius. This is Gerald Marie, the man who built the unreal world of the supermodel. That was invented to Linda Evangelista and Naomi Campbell. And won many millions of dollars. Sexual predator and one of the best players in the history of models. An acrobat who six months ago after receiving full waterline in a deadly torpedo shaped journalistic scandal, has lived to tell the tale. And, indirectly, has disposed of his friend and rival pattern (in bed and businesses), for three decades: John Casablancas, founder of Elite and former husband of Stephanie Seymour. " Casablancas and Marie are history. And the top, approaching fifty, give their last throes sponsor advertising and collections department stores. Some tried with little success to the world of cinema. All were very bad actresses. Just work revisualizar Schiffer, Carla Bruni and Elle Macpherson. Only Kate Moss, who never really was part of the lobby and always was for free, has continued to war with his inimitable style cockney teenager. Last December The Vanity (authentic) devoted a cover story with the following caption: "Sex, Drugs and Johnny Depp." Genio. Eleven years earlier, another journalist from El Pais, Eugenia de la Torriente, and had told his story on the same pages of The Weekly Country. The result: The return of the top. The eternal journalism goes on and on. http://blogs.elpais.....n-desfile.html and http://translate.google.es/

Thanks for posting this fantastic article, Tito. You truly are Linda's #1 fan in the world.

Linda Evangelista: Great Canadian Supermodel By Matthew St. James on February 28, 2013 Everyone’s heard of her, but surprisingly not many Canadian’s realize that’s she’s one of ours. Linda is nothing short of a national treasure She’s graced the covers of well over 600 magazine and is well known for being the longtime muse of photographer Steven Meisel. Though she still makes appearances and does VIP modeling guest spots, her official career lasted from 1984-1998. “No one would ever believe that I was shy. Up on the runway I don’t feel that way. I don’t feel like they’re looking at me. When I’m doing my job, nothing can touch me. I feel protected.” Levangelista.com History Lesson: Born May 10, 1965 in St. Catharine’s, Ontario to Italian parents who emigrated to Canada, she was raised in a working-class, traditional Roman Catholic family, where she attended Denis Morris Catholic High School. Her father worked for General Motors and her mother, Marisa, was a bookkeeper. Evangelista began modelling when she was discovered by an agent from Elite Model Management at the 1978 Miss Teen Niagara beauty pageant Linda always had a interest in becoming a famous model and worked hard to get to where she is today. At the young age of only 13, she had won the 1978 “Miss Teen Niagara” and was discovered by a scout from Elite Model Management. By age 13, Linda was signed to a Toronto modeling company and at age 16 signed with Elite Modeling in New York. Over the years Linda has been regarded as one of the few truesupermodels that changed the face of fashion in the late 1980`s and early 90`s. After all between 1988 to 1996 she can be credited to starting about 11 different hair styles that where very popular. Also Linda was the founder of the supermodel union along with 3 other supermodels which brought new standards and rules making better working conditions and pay for the models. In her modeling career to date Linda has been in over 63 various advertisements, been on the cover of 68 magazines and easily been in over 15 fashion shows through out the years. For all of her accomplishments and the changes she made in the modeling industry, Linda Evangelista will always be in my mind as one of “Canada’s Top Models”. Random Highlight: Evangelista is responsible for possibly the most notorious quote in the modeling agency: ”We don’t wake up for less than $10,000 a day”. Said to Jonathan van Meter ofVogue in 1990. How does she stay so beautiful? “I know it sounds a bit clichéd, but I stick to drinking two litres of water each day and I don’t drink alcohol or smoke,” she says. “I also wear sunscreen every day — even in winter. I do yoga and work out a little on a Power Plate machine that I have at home. I also walk wherever — and whenever — I can.” -Elle Canada Since Retiring in 1998: Since her departure from the modeling industry, Linda has made quite the com back with: In 2007, she signed a multiple-year exclusive contract with the cosmetics company L’Oreal Paris. In early 2008 that she would be featured in the Prada Fall 2008 campaign seen in magazines internationally. In June 2010, the New York Post reported that Evangelista will be the new face of Talbots. 2010 Walked for Galliano From 2010-2013 has been featured on the covers of: Fashion Magazein, W, Vogue, Love and several others. Recently in 2012 Karl Lagerfeld choose Linda Evangelista for the new Chanel eyewear collection. Commercial Success In 1984, Evangelista moved to New York in hopes of ramping up her career. She bumped along for the next several years doing what she later described as fairly “mediocre” work. Then, in the fall of 1988, accepting the advice of photographer Peter Lindbergh, Evangelista famously cut her long, light brown hair into a shorter bob. This new look shocked the fashion world, and organizers canceled 16 out of 20 shows she was scheduled to do. But then, something funny happened. Everyone started talking about her new look, and with that notoriety came work. Soon, as Evangelista later recalled, she had “every Vogue cover around the world…and then people came around and decided they liked the short hair.” As one of the world’s most recognized faces, Evangelista wasn’t immune from becoming a bit of a diva. In 1990 she uttered a line that went down in the annals of fashion historywhen she said that models like herself don’t get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day. The comment certainly earned plenty of groans, but it did little to diminish her stature in the modeling world. In 1997, Evangelista received a special lifetime achievement award at the 1997 VH1 Fashion and Music Awards. In addition, MTV ranked Evangelista second in its list of top models of the 1990s. After briefly retiring from the catwalk in 1998, Evangelista returned to modeling in 2001. She’s continued to work well into her forties. In 2012 she appeared on the cover of the Italian edition of Vogue. Personal Life In 1987, Evangelista married Elite model agency boss Gerald Marie. They split up in 1993. Over the years, Evangelista has been linked romantically to a number of high-profile men, including French soccer player Fabien Barthez, Sex and the City cast member Kyle MacLachlan, and French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault. She dated him dated for several months beginning in 2005, is the father of her only child, a son named Augustin James Evangelista, who was born October 11, 2006. Her relationship with Pinault, who is now the husband of actress Salma Hayek, took an ugly turn in 2012 when Evangelista sued for child support. After several days of courtroom drama, the former couple reached an undisclosed settlement. http://www.torontofa...da-evangelista/[
