Linda Evangelista

Regarded world-wide as one of the most influential supermodels in the world, Linda Evangelista has carved out a powerful niche for herself atop the most influential catwalks. Born to a middle class Italian family in industrial St. Catherine's, Ontario, Linda was spotted by a top modelling scout after losing the Ms. Niagra pageant in nearby Niagra Falls, Ontario. After instant success in Paris and Milan, she broke out in New York City with a vengeance. After countless magazine covers, Vogue, Marie Claire, Harper's Bazaar, and Elle among them, and advertising… More campaigns Linda's career fell into a state of purgatory. She soon married Gerald Marie, the head of the Elite modeling agency in Europe. In the early 1990's, Linda divorced Marie and re-emerged with several bold new hairstyles, leading editors to dub her "The Chameleon." Thanks to her savvy, Linda has remained a top model while many of her contemporaries have faded into oblivion. Linda resides in New York, Paris and Ibiza.
