spiral Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Linda Evangelista by Valentina Fidanzia “She’s like an instrument. She’s a kind of Stradivarius. You can play her like you can play no other instrument. She’s strong and at the same time flexible. She’s tough and very touching, and that’s the secret of her success.” The above comment by Karl Lagerfeld captures perfectly well Linda Evangelista’s chameleon-like and versatile personality. Born in Canada in 1965 from Italian parents, at 15 she took part in a beauty contest where she was scouted by an agent from Elite Model Management. Once finished her studies, at 18 she decided to pursue her dreams and moved to New York. Her first major campaign was for Opium perfume by Yves Saint Laurent followed by some covers and other campaigns, though the turning point came thanks to Peter Lindbergh’s advice. In 1988, the photographer encouraged her to have her hair cut and this marked her debut in the top model Olympian as well as transforming her from a model into a super model in a very short period. Her extraordinary ability to constantly reinvent herself teamed with her relentless determination helped her build a tremendous career that launched her as the symbol of an epoch-making change in the concept of beauty. At the beginning of the 1990’s, in New York as well as in Tokyo, London or Milan, the names of Linda, Naomi, Christy, Nadège, Helena, Claudia, Jasmine, Cindy and Nadia were synonymous with glamour and allure, a dream which many girls as well as actresses and singers who, until that moment had been reluctant to appear on the cover of magazines, aspired to. Risen to the status of authentic trend-setting icons, super models contributed to changing the perception of fashion and become powerful means of communication through the campaigns to which they lent their face and body. Communication in fashion ceased to be something purely short-lived and started developing a broader type of concept given that each model embodied a specific personality and had very recognizable traits and characteristics. Linda was undoubtedly one of the main protagonists of such transformation aided by the special relationship she had established throughout the years with some of the biggest names in photography, from Richard Avedon to Steven Meisel, from Paolo Roversi to Patrick Demarchelier, from Ellen Von Unwerth to Karl Lagerfeld who shot her several times for Chanel campaigns. Equally, she succeeded in establishing a special bond with several designers including Dolce&Gabbana and Gianni Versace for whom she was the muse and face for years. It’s truly impossible to list all the times she changed hair style, colour and cut throughout her career passing nonchalantly from a pin-up blond to a bold red, from a Louise Brooks-inspired brunette bob to an androgynous style, from a haughty 60’s diva hairdo to a sleek garçonne cut, from bon-ton to a Mediterranean bombshell. Nowadays, after endless transformations, numerous goals achieved during her twenty-five year career, ill-fated loves and a child from François-Henri Pinault, the chameleon Linda is still the star and a role-model for a generation who, not only admires in her the unquestionable beauty but also that unique and contrasting mix of vulnerability and strong personality. Her ability to constantly surprise and amaze by reinventing herself with each new shot, each runway show and campaign is that special trait and versatility that allowed, and still allow photographers and designers to always come up with a new image of Linda. source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiral Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Karl Lagerfeld teams up with legendary supermodel Linda Evangelista for the new Chanel Eyewear campaign. The revival of '90s supermodels continues. The advertising campaign of Chanel eyewear is inspired by the automobile world and in particular that of F1. The model who posed for this advertising campaign is Linda Evangelista that, for a different hairstyle, was able to become what she is today: an icon of beauty.

spiral Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 from the day of her "burfday" Joyeux Anniversaire to Linda Evangelista Linda Evangelista has been in the news lately due to those pesky child support issues (everything's all worked out), but today let's bring her back to the front page for a happier reason: It's her burfday! Steven Meisel's muse and a card-carrying member of the original, undisputed, old skoll, don't-make-em'-like-that-anymore supermodel posse celebrates 47 years of life today. Fun fact: Linda was discovered by a talent agent at the Miss Teen Niagra contest in 1978. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
