Style gallery-Linda Evangelista

I absolutely adore Linda Evangelista! I am obsessed with the whole supermodel era of the last 80's and 90's that really kicked off the whole phenomenon that we have today with the interest with models and what they bring to Fashion. Along with the greats, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford, Helena Christensen and Stephanie Seymour they defined a whole era and generation for high octane glamour and style! Her famous uttering that she doesnt get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day is testament to how they changed the game for models, as before they were usually paid with clothes from the designers.

Linda is the original muse as before she chopped her hair off and dyed it red she was barely known, but that hair changed everything! So much so that im always tempted to cut all my hair off and do a Linda and go through every style and colour that she has. I adore the platinum blonde number, as a natural brunette I would never dream of going to the other side especially as I have quite dark colouring and wouldnt suit, but its suits her beautifully that im so envious! I have to keep telling myself that im not 6ft with sharp angular features that are needed for such a brave choppy style, alas!

Even today as she is in her 40's she is still adored within the fashion world and has some prestigious contracts, especially prada and Versace who she has long connections with. We all know Naomi, Helena and Cindy are no stranger to the catwalk still and Stephanie is the face of Jason Wu's latest campiagn, just showing that these women, and I cant stress that enough, are in hot demand and are not going anywhere! As the fashion industry are obsessed with youth this is a refreshing change as these women breath experience, confidence and style that I feel many models now dont have.

Do any of you have a favourite supermodel?
