Linda Evangelista: “I want to look not young, but good. These are completely different things
Childhood
Linda was born in an ordinary working family. The supermodel's dad and both brothers worked at a car factory. Evangelista's parents moved from Italy to Canada and raised their children in Catholic traditions. The whole family gathered at the table together every day, because they considered such meals obligatory. Thanks, in particular, to this, the family remained united throughout their lives. And even now, if Linda is far from home, she calls friends and family via video every day.Beginning of a modeling career
Linda knew at age 12 that she wanted to be a model. And by this age she had already gained some experience: the girl posed for catalogs of local department stores. But a truly fateful incident came in 1980. Linda Evangelista competed in the Teen Miss Niagara beauty pageant. She didn’t win the competition, but a representative of the Elite modeling agency noticed her and rewarded her with his business card. However, the girl’s mother believed that her daughter was not ready for a modeling career. The woman allowed her daughter to dial the agency’s number only after finishing school.After that, Linda boldly went to New York and immediately signed a contract with Elite. A little later, the girl went to Paris. However, her career in Europe was not as successful as she dreamed. Decent work the young model was not offered, so Evangelista took on any part-time job. Until 1987, she posed for catalogs. But the young beauty did not give up and continued to work on her appearance and on herself. Linda went to famous photographers and left her portfolio in case they might need her.
It was thanks to perseverance and perseverance that Linda finally received an agreement to collaborate with Peter Lindrebg, who was popular in the fashion world. And a little later, Evangelista already starred for the popular Vogue. Immediately the demand for the model began to grow rapidly. Three years of my life that were wasted have paid off in spades. In addition, Linda's photographs began to appear on the covers of the most popular glossy magazines around the world. They began to invite the beauty to fashion shows brands such as American Express, Alberta Ferretti, Anne Klein, Bloomingdale's, Barney's, Calvin Klein, Chloé, Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Gianni Versace, DonnaKaran, PerryEllis, Hermes, RalphLauren, Valentino, JilSander, YvesSaintLaurent, ChristianDior. Well, Linda Evangelista signed a long-term contract with Kenar.
Drugs in the life of a model
Linda Evangelista's wishes came true, but reverse side the medals were put to the test. Namely, with drugs. And this temporarily caused the model to become disillusioned with her work. The girl first encountered illegal drugs in Japan, and a little later in Milan, her colleague died from a cocaine overdose. This incident shocked Linda so much that she promised herself never to touch drugs.Experiments with appearance
At the end of 1988, photographer Peter Lindbergh and stylist Julien D'Ys suggested that the model cut her hair as short as men wear. Linda agreed and her new image shocked many. Moreover, she was denied access to the podium in Milan, because her haircut was not similar to the hairstyles of other slender and bushy-haired girls. But this negativity quickly went away, and the model’s prank began to be actively discussed. And many began to give themselves a haircut “like Evangelista’s.”
And this event was only the first in a further series. Over the course of 4 years, Linda Evangelista dyed her hair 17 times. different colors. Nature blessed the model with black hair, but the girl tried literally everything. That’s why in the fashion world they called her “chameleon.” By the way, it’s not for nothing that the supermodel earned such a nickname; Linda has a unique gift for changing in front of the cameras. The designers say that “it can be played like a Stradivarius violin. She is tense and relaxed at the same time, touching and tough. And this is her secret.”
Linda climbed to the top of her fame in the “era of supermodels,” that is, in the late 80s and early 90s of the last century. Back then everyone knew the names Cindy, Naomi, Claudia, Linda and Christy. The girls were so popular that they didn’t even need to be introduced by their last names.

By the way, it is Linda who owns the phrase that translates as “I don’t get out of bed for less than ten thousand dollars a day.” The model said this in 1990 to a reporter in an interview for Vogue.
End of modeling career
By the way, during her career, Evangelista walked the catwalk for famous fashion houses and participated in a huge number of advertising campaigns. But in reality, it was not as easy for Linda as it seems. The model suffers from panic attacks. She is afraid of flying on airplanes, and this is the most common fear. She is also afraid of people and social communication. Walking down the catwalk, she doesn't pay attention to anyone. A wave of fear rolls over her when she goes backstage into the clutches of photographers, journalists, and stylists. By the way, this feature of Linda is reflected in documentary film"Wide Open" by Isaac Mizrachi.And frequent attacks forced Evangelista to give up continuing her career. In 1998, she began to live a normal, everyday life. For three years, the model left the catwalks and was with her chosen one, French football player Fabien Barthez. However, it is possible that the reason for leaving work was different - Linda was pregnant. But she lost the child.
In 2001, the model returned to business. Moreover, at a rather obscene age - she was then 36 years old. And this time, even her second pregnancy in 2006 did not force her to leave the podium. And already being quite pregnant, she starred for an issue of Vogue. Nevertheless, the girl reduced the amount of work.

Personal life of Linda Evangelista
On October 11, 2006, Linda gave birth to a son and named the boy Augustine James Evangelista. For quite a long time, the model did not name the baby’s father. But in 2011, information appeared that the biological father was the French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault (now the husband of Salma Hayek). And these data were confirmed when Linda Evangelista went to court demanding monthly alimony payments from Pino in the amount of 46 thousand dollars. Now the lady's heart is free.It is worth noting that Linda, like many of her colleagues, is involved in charity work. She spends part of her money and time on the fight against AIDS. This disease is directly related to her. The model's first agent died from it.
Linda Evangelista now
Alas, the professional life of a model is fleeting. Age greatly affected Linda’s external appearance: she gained weight and, as stated in the tabloids, “looked ugly.” Because of this former model was forced to refuse an invitation from a fashionable home Versace, who invited top models of the 90s to Milan Fashion Week:Linda Evangelista (English) Linda Evangelista; genus. May 10, 1965, San Catarina, Ontario, Canada) – Canadian-born supermodel. On models.com she is on the list of The Supers, the highest category of the resource.
During her career she concluded great amount contracts with various cosmetic companies, among which the most significant is probably the contract with L’Oréal, and photographs of the fickle beauty have graced more than 600 covers of glossy magazines.
In the fashion world, her name has become a legend. Linda is gifted with an extraordinary ability to control her body, which allows her to create more and more new images for everyone. She is full of inexpressible charm and charm, which continues to make her in demand, despite her no longer a model age.
Biography and career
Linda Evangelista was born on May 10, 1965 in San Catarina, Ontario, into an ordinary working-class family (both her brothers and her father worked at an automobile plant). The future parents emigrated to Canada from Italy and raised their children in strict Catholic traditions, and daily gatherings at a common table for meals were considered mandatory. Thanks to this, their family has remained close-knit to this day. Even now, when Linda is far away, she communicates with family and friends every day using a webcam.
Linda knew she wanted to be a model from the age of 12. She had already gained some fame by posing for local department store catalogs. However, a fateful incident occurred in 1980 when she competed in the Miss Teen Niagara beauty pageant. Even though Linda didn't win the competition, an Elite representative took notice of her and gave her his business card. But the girl’s mother felt that Linda was not yet ready to start modeling career, and only after her daughter graduated from school did she allow her to dial the agency’s number.
The girl boldly went to New York and signed a contract with Elite, and after a while she left for Paris. However, her career in Europe was not as successful as she would have liked. Worthwhile work were not offered, and Linda was forced to take on any one. Until 1987, she posed for catalogs.. However, the young beauty did not give up. She continued to work on herself and her appearance and did not sit idly by. Evangelista went to famous photographers and invited them to look at her, hoping that they would want to work with her.
Thanks to her tenacity and perseverance, the girl finally received consent from Peter Lindbergh, who was especially popular in fashion circles, and soon starred for one of the most popular fashion publications. After this, the demand for the beauty with gray-green eyes began to grow with amazing speed.
The almost wasted three years of her life paid off with interest. In addition to the fact that her photographs appeared on the covers of glossy magazines around the world, Linda began to be invited to fashion shows of such famous names as Alberta Ferretti, American Express, Anne Klein, Barney's, Bloomingdale's, Donna Karan, Gianni Versace, Perry Ellis, Jil Sander, and . She signed a long-term contract with Kenar.
However, despite the fact that Linda's dream finally came true, she faced severe trials associated with reverse side modeling business. Namely, with drugs, which made her disillusioned with her profession for some time. The girl first encountered them in Japan, and a little later in Milan one of her colleagues died of a cocaine overdose. This incident shocked Evangelista so much that she vowed to herself never to touch drugs in her life.
At the end of 1988, the legendary photographer Peter Lindbergh and the equally famous Julien D'Ys suggested that Linda cut her hair very short, so that the resulting haircut would look like a boy's. New look The evangelists shocked many; she was even denied entry to Milan, since her haircut did not match the slender rows of traditionally bushy-maned girls. However, such negative perceptions quickly disappeared, and the fashion world began to enthusiastically discuss Linda's trick. Soon, fashionistas all over the world began to style their hair “like Evangelista’s.”
This event was the first in a further series of experiments by the model with her appearance. She dyed her hair 17 times in four years. Evangelista is a brunette by nature, but she tried all possible shades on herself, thanks to which in the fashion world she was nicknamed “Chameleon”. It must be said that it was not for nothing that she earned herself this nickname, but this applies not only to her ability to change the length and color of her hair: Evangelista has the magical gift of changing in front of the camera. The presenter of the Chanel company (Karl Lagerfeld) once said about her:
“She's like a tool. Like a Stradivarius violin. You can play it like you can't play any other instrument. She is like a taut bowstring and at the same time relaxed. She is tough and at the same time very touching, and this is the secret of her success.”
Linda’s career flourished during the so-called “era of supermodels,” which captured the time period between the late 80s and mid-90s of the 20th century. Linda's and Christie's names were known to the whole world. They were so popular that they didn't even need last names. Three of them, namely Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell and Christy Turlington, formed the special group "Trinity", earning the most money and receiving the most lucrative contracts.
Linda Evangelista belongs to famous phrase, which is usually translated as “I don't get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day,” although it was originally said a little differently: “We don't wake up for less than $10,000 a day.” wake up for less than $10,000 a day"). The phrase was said in 1990 to reporter Jonathan van Meter in an interview for Vogue magazine, in a conversation about how she and some other models were trying to impose their own rules of the game during photo shoots.
During her career, Linda Evangelista has walked the runway for all the most famous fashion houses and has taken part in countless advertising campaigns. Probably the model’s biggest fan, Karl Lagerfeld, explained her success this way:
“There is no other model in the world who is as professional as her... She is the best.”
Despite the fact that from the outside it may seem that everything was too easy for Evangelista, this is not so. Linda suffers from panic attacks. One of her most common fears is the fear of flying on airplanes, another is the fear of people and social interaction. When she walks down the runway, she works and pays no attention to those who are looking at her, but as soon as she steps backstage and finds herself in a room full of stylists, photographers, journalists and models, a wave of fear washes over her. This feature of the top model’s behavior was depicted in the documentary film (Isaac Mizrahi) “Unzipped”. Linda's favorite type of work is posing in front of the camera, since only here she can not be afraid of the crowd of people working around her.
Increasing panic attacks forced Linda to abandon her troubled modeling career. In 1998, she carried out her long-standing cherished dream to live a normal everyday life with an unfamiliar feeling of daily routine. For three whole years, Evangelista leaves podiums and cameras, and only re-released photographs where she is next to her lover, the French football player Fabian Barthez, occasionally grace various tabloids. Perhaps another reason why Evangelista left the fashion world for such long term, her failed pregnancy appeared (Linda lost the child when she was in her sixth month).
Having never been able to overcome my passion for modeling business, she returns to business in September 2001 at a completely indecent age for a model - 36 years old - appearing on the cover of American Vogue. Now she's back for good. Even another pregnancy in 2006 could not cool her ardor. As the model herself stated, there will be no “return” after the birth of the child, because she does not plan to leave. In August 2006, already heavily pregnant, she posed for the next issue of Vogue. However, Linda makes the prudent decision to cut back on her workload by making a list of the projects she really wants to do.
On October 11, 2006, her long-time dream came true - Linda gave birth to a son and named him Augustin James Evangelista. For a long time the model refused to give a name biological father his child, however, in July 2011 The New The York Post reported that Augustine's mysterious father is French billionaire and Salma Hayek's part-time husband, François-Henri Pinault. These data were confirmed in August 2011, when Evangelista appealed to the Manhattan Court of Justice family matters, demanding that Pino pay monthly alimony of $46,000 to support his son.
Evangelista, like many other models, is widely involved in charity work. Most She spends her time and money fighting AIDS. Linda is very concerned about this problem, since it was from this disease that her first agent died.
Linda Evangelista interview with W magazine by Haven Thompson (October 14, 2009)
H.T.: What was it like working with Maurizio Cattelan?
L.E.: It was damn fun. I have to say that this is absolutely new experience for me. He is like a boy - funny, determined and cheerful.
H.T.:He described you as an actress with an endless range of expression.
L.E.: Wow, did he really say that? I don't even know, I really wanted to be like that. I never got an answer from him about what exactly he wants to do. It was his own art. You can interpret it however you like.
H.T.: How about a photo where you seem to be walking through a wall?
L.E.: Perhaps it means the goal I am striving for. It contains many messages.
H.T.: Photos of chickens also raise many questions.
L.E.: Well, I grew up in Canada, in an area where everyone had chickens. That is, it was a residential area, we didn’t have to start a household, but we did it. Besides, when I went to Italy, my parents' homeland, there were chickens there too. So you could say I know a lot about chickens.
H.T.: But you probably never imagined you'd be photographed with them, did you?
L.E.: Yeah, we had to run around them. I was told that we had to work quickly because in the evening the chickens would simply fall asleep. You know, there are moments in life when you think, “How did I get to this point?” It was just such a moment.
On May 10, one of the most popular models in the story of Linda Evangelista. On the occasion, ELLE remembered seven more top models that you can look at endlessly.
Naomi, Cindy, Claudia, Christy, Elle, Eva and Linda. In the mid-1980s, they were the queens of the catwalk, constantly shining on the covers of glossy publications, concluding dizzying contracts, seducing the rich and famous and making the profession of a top model the most desirable in the world.
In 1987, fashion photographer Steven Meisel arranged a shoot rising star for the cover of a fashionable Italian publication. After her, Christie introduced Maisel to her friend Naomi, and he introduced her to his friend, Canadian Linda. Thus, “according to legend,” the famous “Trinity” shot was born, and with it the official beginning of the era of supermodels, who were soon joined by Cindy Crawford, Elle Macpherson and Claudia Schiffer. One show with their participation cost 20-30 thousand dollars. Everyone wanted them at once. It was enough to just say their names - everyone understood who they were talking about. we're talking about and how much does it cost.
Year after year it proves that there are no former supermodels. This is, perhaps, the only heroine of the famous “Trinity +” who has not slowed down as a model over the years. Just like thirty years ago, she rocks out at the loudest parties, chooses powerful of the world this (from the latter - Doronin and Fasbender), acts naked, regularly makes scandals and restores a “respectable” reputation at charity shows in favor of UNESCO. In 2012, together with Coco Rocha, she became the host of the fashion TV show The Face. Only two cherished desires Black Panther's dreams have not yet come true - to become a popular singer and mother.
It is to the figure of this dazzling blonde that we owe sleepless nights, exhausting workouts and the most stringent diets. When you see these reference parameters 90-60-90, how can you not get depressed?! For her chiseled figure, she received the pithy nickname “Body”. At 49, McPherson married billionaire Jeffrey Soffer, proving that she would give any “twenty-year-old” a hundred points ahead. Today, the Australian produces Super Elexir dietary supplements, loves to fish, and is proud home country, his own legs (which are listed in the Guinness Book of Records), luxurious hair (which he washes with beer) and photographs without makeup or plastic surgery.
When the whole world considers you perfect, come to terms with the fact that one day your place will be taken by younger and more beautiful people, it will be doubly difficult.
Eva Herzigova, Nadja Auermann and Claudia Schiffer. All photos: globallookpress.comThey shone on the catwalks, their fees amounted to hundreds of thousands of dollars, they always dreamed of being dazzling young beauties, but they lost the battle with age. About which of the iconic top models of the 90s did not want to “age naturally”, but ran to cosmetologists and plastic surgeons for help, and what came of it - in the material on the site.
This is what Linda Evangelista looks like todayThe appearance of the Canadian top model of Italian origin was admired by millions in the 90s, she was called an alien for her arrogant look and amazing almond-shaped eyes, her face looked out from the posters of the best cosmetic companies, and designers staged “battles” to ensure that Linda Evangelista was represented on the catwalk their best outfits. However, sometimes she didn’t even need to go on the podium. Linda became the first supermodel to be paid exorbitant fees just for appearing at an event. “I won’t even get out of bed for less than 10 thousand dollars” - this phrase of Evangelista has become a catchphrase.
IN last years the star has noticeably gained weight. Linda spends impressive sums on anti-aging procedures; she once even admitted that Botox is as “common” for her as hair dyeing. However, fashionable “beauty injections” and thermage (roughly speaking, deep heating of the skin special apparatus for her facelift) changed her face beyond recognition. Almost all fans of the star believe that she overdid it. Today Linda Evangelista has lost a significant part of her charm and has become like the most ordinary “victim of beauty” with unnaturally “inflated” skin and a face swollen from numerous injections.

A top model with French-Italian roots and a memorable appearance, who was included in the list of the highest paid models in the world in the 90s, left the catwalk in 1997. Carla Bruni has admitted more than once that she is very afraid of growing old. She made a huge effort to maintain her youth and beauty. But whether she managed to win the battle over time is a moot point. Yes, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy looks good and very well-groomed - as befits a woman of her status and age. But the former charm is no longer there; Carla’s face often resembles a mask - the results of numerous injections are taking their toll.

Today, the name of this supermodel of the 90s will not mean anything to many, but there was a time when the blonde beauty from the Netherlands was one of the highest paid models in the world and competed with Claudia Schiffer for the title of the most beautiful blonde 90s Time determined the winner. And the victory was not for Karen. They said that all the professional failures of the model were to blame for her unstable psyche. In 2000, she gave up her career, which was at its peak, and became a virtual recluse. Nowadays, Karen Mulder very rarely appears in public and is involved in charity work. In 2009 she made an unsuccessful plastic surgery, after which her face changed beyond recognition.
Nadja Auermann, 47 years old

German supermodel, who along with Linda Evangelista, Eva Herzigova, Claudia Schiffer and Naomi Campbell once made up the “elite” of the fashion business of the 90s, also makes a lot of effort to look younger than her age. She is sitting on strict diets, so she manages to save slim figure. Only now Auermann looks very tired and exhausted. The star clearly turned to a plastic surgeon - her face shape and the shape of her eyes changed, which in some photos began to resemble small slits.

The catwalk star of the 90s and today, despite his age and family, is not going to say goodbye to the fashion business. The Czech top model still shines on the red carpet, shows off her figure in racy photo shoots, and her face graces the covers of the most famous fashion magazines, and the smile is still dazzling. But looking at latest photos Herzigova becomes clear: Eve of the “golden era” of the 90s and today’s – two different people. Without latest achievements cosmetology and plastic surgery this obviously didn't work out. But victory remains with the 90s.

British supermodel and the actress appeared on the podium later than her colleagues - but quickly forced them to make room. Fragile, high cheekbones, with with huge eyes- she became a standard in the fashion world of the early 90s, when the cult of grunge and androgynous girls-boys reigned. Eccentric and unpredictable, Kate Moss was not a good girl, she loved parties, and, unlike her wiser colleagues, she preferred alcohol to mineral water without gas.

Passing through the line romance novels And high-profile scandals, including those related to drugs, the tearaway Kate settled down over time. Even today she remains one of the highest paid top models, but, alas, all the “sins” of her crazy youth were reflected on her face.” And none cosmetic procedures They cannot remove them, as well as restore the former perky shine to the eyes.

Linda captivated all customers and fans with her extraordinary appearance, and also became the first model to receive fabulous bonuses for her presence at fashion events.
Childhood and early years

![](https://i1.wp.com/showtopmodel.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/LindaEvangelistadetstvo.jpg)
Her dad worked at a car factory, and her mother was constantly raising her daughter.
As a child, the girl did not yet know what she wanted to become in the future, but everything was already clear to her mother.
She always considered her daughter the most beautiful and was sure that Linda’s future was definitely connected either with television or with the modeling business.
From an early age, her mother took the girl to various castings, and also sent photos to various auditions, but, unfortunately, luck did not smile on her anywhere.
Young Linda herself began to hope for a successful modeling career, but at every casting she heard the same thing. The fact is that back then the girl was no different beautiful appearance, but on the contrary, she had too large cheeks and feet, which is why no one saw her as a model.
The most work the girl received was posing for catalogs of small department stores.
A real revolution in her life happened thanks to her participation in the Miss Niagara Teen beauty pageant in 1980. Although Linda Evangelista did not win it, she was remembered by representatives of the New York agency and received a business card from them.
The girl dreamed of calling the representatives back immediately, but her mother, considering this a serious step, forbade her to do this until she had completed her secondary education. Therefore, immediately after graduating from school, Linda, without hesitation, set off to conquer New York and signed her first contract with the Elite agency.
Beginning of a modeling career
It is in New York that the career of the young model begins. Her first orders were photographs for famous magazines, namely:
- Harper's Bazaar;

The model was often called names because of her figure; at that time, with a height of 176 cm, she had a waist of 64 cm in girth, and, as you know, such volumes are not acceptable for the modeling business.
However, after a while Linda had to thank her competitor for such a rash act, which ultimately brought the model to the very top of the modeling business.
The best hairdresser of those times took pity on the upset girl and made her a very fashionable hairstyle and changed his hair color, which radically affected the model’s image. After that she began to be noticed fashion houses, and eminent publications urgently wanted to post a photo of the rising model.
Linda Evangelista herself was delighted with the new image, but now, no longer afraid, she agreed to any experiments. During her modeling career, the girl changed her hair color 17 times, for which she was actually nicknamed the “chameleon.”
She conquered the catwalks of the most prestigious fashion houses, including Versace, Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana and many others, and was also the face of the Clairol brand, and in 1990 she was included in the list of “50 most beautiful girls”.

The couple thought about getting married, but the day before, the young man publicly admitted his gay. This was a big blow to Linda, who was in love, and to heal the wounds from broken heart, the girl completely immerses herself in work: she takes even more fashion photos for magazines and takes on large quantity impressions

Drug problems
During her modeling career, the girl had problems with drugs, because this area is not as simple as it might seem, and drugs turned out to be the only way to relax during a break between filming.
The only thing that could stop the girl from using it was the death of her colleague due to an overdose. Then Linda swore to herself that she would never take illegal drugs again.
