Fashionlines - The E-Magazine for the Elegant Edge


	FROM PARIS Evangelista On Dior Catwalk Forty year old Nineties Super Model Linda Evangelista is leading the way for older women to continue modeling. Seen recently on the Haute Couture Dior Catwalk and blowing away models more than half her age, Evangelista showed us all that age does not matter. Her beautiful facial structure and striking blue-green eyes have appeared on practically every fashion magazine cover on an international scale. Not only has she graced hundreds of magazine covers around the world, but Linda has also appeared in advertising campaigns for the following companies: Alberta Ferretti, American Express, Anne Klein, Barney's, Bloomingdale's, Calvin Klein, Chanel, Chloé, Dolce & Gabbana, Donna Karan, Gianni Versace, Hermes, Perry Ellis, Ralph Lauren, Jill Sander Valentino, Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Dior makeup, and Jones New York. She also signed a long-term contract with Kenar. Although she has been seen in practically every hair color possible (she has dyed her hair 17 times in four years), Linda's natural hair color is brown. Like fellow supermodel Helena Christensen, who appeared in a wicked music video for Chris Isaac, Linda Evangelista was in two George Michael videos: "Freedom 90", featuring the other top supermodels, as well as the video for "Too Funky". Following with the video trend, Linda also appeared in Unzipped, by Isaac Mizrahi, and Catwalk, a documentary produced by Christy Turlington. On the topic of fellow supermodels, Linda formed The Trinity, with Christy Turlington and Naomi Campbell, completing the trio. These three were the elite supermodels that dominated the fashion industry in the early 90's. When not on the catwalk, Linda uses her fame to help in causes that she believes in, most notably raising awareness for breast cancer research. Both her grandmother and a family friend suffered from the disease, and Linda joined Bryan Adams in hosting a charity fundraiser in aid of breast cancer research.
