Linda Evangelista (born May 10, 1965) is a Canadian model.

Contents

Early life

Evangelista was born to Italian parents and was raised in a working-class, traditional Catholic family in St. Catharines, Ontario[2] She knew she wanted to become a model when she was 12 years old. Evangelista got into the modeling industry when she was discovered by a talent agent at the 1978 Miss Teen Niagara Contest.

Career highlights

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.

Along with Christy Turlington, Claudia Schiffer, Cindy Crawford and Naomi Campbell, Evangelista is regarded as one of the few, true supermodels that changed the face of fashion in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell and Christy Turlington comprised a trio of friends that was affectionately dubbed "The Trinity" and is commonly credited as responsible for sparking supermodel mania.original research?citation needed The Trinity pushed for better wages for models and for better projects and subsequently Evangelista was called the founder of the supermodel "union."citation needed

We don’t ‘vogue’; we are vogue[3]

Evangelista uttered the quote, "We don't wake up for less than $10,000 a day"[4] (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 her many, many dramatic hairstyle changes. Within months, she appeared on magazine covers everywhere and many women emulated the hairstyle.

It was announced in early 2008 that she would be starring in the Prada Fall 2008 Campaign. The Ads can be seen in magazines internationally.

She is signed to DNA Model Management in New York City, and Models 1 in London.

Hairstyles

Evangelista is known as "The Chameleon"original research?citation needed both for her frequent hair changes (style, length and colour) and for the way she can transform herself in front of a camera. The time line of her hairstyles:

  • until 1988 long medium brown hair
  • 1988 THE famous cut short brown
  • 1989 barber shop crop
  • 1991 platinum blond
  • 1992 red
  • 1992 dark brown asymmetrical cut with long bangs and razored sides and back
  • 1993 Dutch boy bob
  • 1994 mid-length blond
  • 1995 mid-length peroxide blond
  • 1995 mod cut dark brown
  • 1996 mid-length brown

Miscellaneous

  • Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld once said of her, "There is not another model in the world as professional as she is." He also said, when comparing models, that Evangelista was the "top of the tops".
  • In 1996 she won the VH1 Fashion Awards Lifetime Achievement Award.
  • In 2005 New York-based AID for AIDS honored Linda with its annual HERO Award for her commitment in helping to eradicate the disease throughout the world.

Personal life

Evangelista was married to Elite executive Gerald Marie from 1987 to 1993. She has also dated actor Kyle MacLachlan (1992–1998), French soccer player Fabien Barthez (1998–2000), Italian oil mogul Ugo Brachetti Peretti (2003–2004), and Formula One driver Paolo Barilla (2005).

Throughout her career, Evangelista has expressed her desire to have children. [5] In 1999, she suffered a miscarriage after six months of pregnancy (the father was Barthez).

To her delight, on October 11, 2006, she gave birth to a boy, Augustin James. The father is an unnamed New York architect. While pregnant, Evangelista appeared on the August 2006 issue of Vogue magazine. She was the first non-actress/singer model to appear on Vogue in over a year. In the issue, Evangelista said she was "pro-cosmetic-procedure" and admitted the use of Botox, but said she had stopped during her pregnancy. [6]

She also plays the accordion, and was a cigar smoker before she gave up smoking and drinking altogether.
