August 8, 201410 yr But something else that I got out of that article was that they mentioned Vogue Italia will be celebrating its 50th anniversary this Fall. So that means either the September or October issues will be special editions. And I suspect that Linda will a big part of that celebration. Another cover...? Oh, good point! As Tito said, Linda is the queen of Italian Vogue, and it's also the 30th anniversary of Linda's modeling career. So, Linda definitely deserves to be on the cover of Italian Vogue this year. The timing is perfect for it, as a way to honor both Italian Vogue and Linda's career. It would be absurd if she doesn't get a cover this year. I don't think Steven should pass up his muse just put some model-of-the-moment on the cover.
August 10, 201410 yr Hi Everyone, It was great coming across this thread a week ago, I've been fascinated by her ever since I saw her in the George Michael videoclip years ago. I'm a bit of a webdesigner so i came across the idea of creating a fanpage, you can see it though the link below. I must say I have underestimated the work though, especially getting together all the galleries in a good quality. I would also like to have these grouped into certain themes, so all the images are nog scattered around in a unorganised way. I have spent most of my summer holidays getting it as far as it is now if anyone would like to contribute please let me know, it would be great A few likes or shares would be great too, i have only had 8 visitors since i set it up 3 weeks ago, it seems like it's not really showing up in google yet Any help is wecome ! Regards Mani www.lindaevangelista.co.uk
August 10, 201410 yr ^Hi Mani! Welcome!! It's always a pleasure to meet another fan of La Linda. I just took a quick look at your new fan site and I very impressed with the quality. Congratulations on such a great job. Linda sites have come and gone over the years and I think the greatest challenge is getting the word out. Most of her fans are older and don't really participate in social media or fan sites but if you can get their attention, they're loyal. For example, right now, the most popular Linda site is this one: http://lalinda-evangelista.tumblr.com -- the webmaster of this site has been really good about posting content on a regular basis and getting people to notice the site. But yours is much more polished and refined and that in itself is attractive. LEvangelista.net is still out there but they have a been a in a slump for a few years now but they plan to re-open with a new and improved site this Fall. There's also Rado's site: http://www.radolgc.com/linda/ I should also state that Linda has always been around and in recent years, at a much slower pace but she's recently come back with a bang! And like spiral mentioned, it's her 30th anniversary in the business. And seemingly, all the stars are aligned right now for Linda; her 30th anniversary in the business, she turns 50 next year, and Vogue Italia will be celebrating its 50th year this Fall (I'm guessing either the September or October edition of the magazine). So your site is debuting at a very good time where Linda will also be attracting new fans. I wish you all the best! (Y) versustito, absolutely!!! :-)Unseen.from Vogue Italia August 1990"The Sisters" by Ellen von Unwerthfrom Vogue France February 1990Photograper: Arthur Elgort(Instagram) Doosia, this great! Thank you! I often wonder if Linda and Christy would ever reunite again for an editorial. :neo2: The timing is perfect for it, as a way to honor both Italian Vogue and Linda's career. I agree, although, I think Vogue Italia's 50th anniversary edition will feature a multi-model cover with some of Steven Meisel's faves through the ages. And it would be devine if Veruschka made an appearance, too!
August 11, 201410 yr A few likes or shares would be great too, i have only had 8 visitors since i set it up 3 weeks ago, it seems like it's not really showing up in google yet www.lindaevangelista.co.uk Welcome Mani! It's a really nice site. Thanks for taking the time to create it. "A Shot of Scotch" is one of my all-time favorite editorials. I can remember seeing it for the first time in 1991 and being wowed by it.
August 11, 201410 yr I agree, although, I think Vogue Italia's 50th anniversary edition will feature a multi-model cover with some of Steven Meisel's faves through the ages. And it would be devine if Veruschka made an appearance, too! I'm hoping that Linda (solo) will get the anniversary cover, and that some of Steven's favorites will just be featured inside the pages of the magazine. But really, we'll see how it all goes.
August 12, 201410 yr brazilianaffair, that is a very difficult question for me. Linda has had so many different looks -- and we're talking EXTREME changes over the years that I can't choose just one. I do love your favorite, it reminds me of Ava Gardner from the 50s. But if I had to choose just one, I would have to say that I love my current Bellazon avatar pic!

(Y) Hi Everyone, I would like to thank you all for your enthusiastic and positive reactions, I really hope I can keep it alive with some frequent additions and updates instead of it just becoming a static fanpage. Once again, if anyone would have some series of images round a certain theme, for example the 'touch of scotch' as mentioned by Spiral above, or a series of images that are all related to a certain designer label or whatever - as long as there is a common link between them - it would be great to point these out to me. I will have them up on the site within a few days. I have found loads and loads of images all around the internet, but they all tend to be unorganised loose bits all mixed up, with no real common relation between them. I would really like to show the images grouped in different galleries each with their own story or theme which could give it some quality and is more attractive for visitors to view, and that's the challenge I'm facing now. I'd be more than pleased to mention your name below the gallery with a 'thanks to' I'm a pretty experienced photoshopper too so even if it would be some scans of a lesser quality i can always clean these up a little.. Of course I'll put these back up here on Bellazon too so they are available to all of you, Keep up the good work here on Bellazon ! it was a great surprise to see the beauty of the 80-90ties supermodel era - especially for Linda Evangelista - is still alive and kicking !! Mani
August 12, 201410 yr It's extremely hard if not impossible for me to make a pick, but one that will always remain one of my favs is her appearance in the 90-ties freedom clip, the revelation of (for me at least) the blond bob haircut and if I'm not mistaken the moment they emerged as the full blown superstars for the big public, not only inside the fashion world Anyhow, i was very young at that time and it was the first time I noticed her Awesome.
August 12, 201410 yr ^One thing I recently learned about that 1992 Bazaar cover is that it was named one of the "40 greatest magazine covers" on this list below. It even ranked higher than the famous National Geographic cover of a 12-year-old girl from Afghanistan.http://www.magazine.org/asme/magazine-cover-contests/asmes-top-40-magazine-covers-last-40-yearsHow awesome is that?
August 13, 201410 yr Anyway, while I agree that it's very difficult to choose just one picture of Linda, I have always LOVED this particular picture. Everything about it is perfect: her beauty, the color of her eyes, her hair, her teeth, her trademark open-mouth pose... Simply a gorgeous picture.
