Linda Evangelista (born May 10, 1965) is a Canadian model. She is one of the most accomplished and influential models of all time,[3] and has been featured on over 700 magazine covers. Evangelista is mostly known for being the longtime muse of photographer Steven Meisel,[4] as well as for coining the phrase "We don't wake up for less than $10,000 a day." She holds the record for her multiple appearances on the cover of Vogue Italia, all of which were photographed by Meisel.
Described as the "chameleon" of the fashion industry,[5] and as a key figure among the five supermodels, Evangelista was one of the most famous women in the world during the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s.[6] Unlike her colleagues, she chose not to diversify into other ventures outside of modeling. She retired from her career in 1998 and made a comeback three years later, this time working only sporadically. Her achievements as a model led to her being voted as "the greatest supermodel of all time" by the viewers of the television show Fashion File in 2008.
Early life
Evangelista was born to Italian parents who emigrated to Canada.[7][8] She grew up in a working-class, Roman Catholic household in St. Catharines, Ontario,[9][10] close to Niagara Falls, where she attended Denis Morris Catholic High School.[5][11] Her father, Tomaso, worked for General Motors,[5][10] and died on January 17, 2014.[12] Her mother, Marisa,[9] was a bookkeeper. Evangelista attended a self-improvement school at the age of 12,[10] where she was taught things such as poise and etiquette,[13] and she was advised to attend a modeling course.[5]
As a teenager, Evangelista started modeling locally in her hometown.[10][14] In 1981, she took part in the Miss Teen Niagara beauty pageant.[5][8][10] And while she did not win the pageant, her presence caught the eye of a representative from Elite Model Management.[5][10][13]
At the age of 16, she flew to Japan to model there, but an unpleasant experience involving nudity during a modeling assignment made her want to stop modeling altogether.[5][15] She returned home to Canada, and two years went by before she decided to try her hand again at modeling.[5][16]
Career
1984–1987: Beginnings and success
Evangelista moved to New York City in 1984 upon signing with Elite,[11] where she met the prominent modeling agent John Casablancas, who compared her likeness to the model Joan Severance.[15] Elite then moved Evangelista to Paris, France,[5][10][15] where she launched her international high-fashion career at the age of 19. Her first major fashion magazine cover was for the November 1984 issue of L'Officiel. Subsequently, she would go on to appear on the covers and in the pages of a variety of international publications including Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, Glamour, Mademoiselle, Elle, W, Marie Claire, Allure, Time, Interview, Newsweek, Rolling Stone, Cigar Aficionado, and i-D.[5]
In 1985, she began working with Karl Lagerfeld,[17] the head designer of the fashion house Chanel, to whom she would become a muse. On the subject of Evangelista, Lagerfeld once uttered, "There is not another model in the world as professional as she is."[18][19] Incidentally, Evangelista became one of the first editorial models to successfully cross over into the realm of runway modeling.[15] She also became a muse to the late fashion designer Gianni Versace,[20] for whom she first appeared in ad campaigns in 1987. In addition to her work for Versace and Lagerfeld, Evangelista also modeled for various other fashion brands such as Valentino, Dolce & Gabbana, Gianfranco Ferré, Ralph Lauren, Yves Saint Laurent, Azzedine Alaïa, Oscar de la Renta, Giorgio Armani, Thierry Mugler, Claude Montana, Donna Karan, Jil Sander, Jean Paul Gaultier, Alberta Ferretti, Isaac Mizrahi, Escada, Calvin Klein, Salvatore Ferragamo, Max Mara, Perry Ellis, Chloé, Comme des Garçons, Bill Blass, and Herve Leger. And, she has represented a diverse array of other companies and non-fashion brands like Visa, American Express, Pizza Hut, De Beers, and Elizabeth Arden.
In 1986, Evangelista met the photographer Steven Meisel,[21] with whom she forged a friendship, and they began working together on many professional collaborations.[10] Starting in 1987, Evangelista began to appear in advertisements and commercials for Revlon's "The Most Unforgettable Women in the World" campaign,[22] which was photographed by Richard Avedon. She was also photographed by the likes of Peter Lindbergh, Irving Penn, Francesco Scavullo, Herb Ritts, Bruce Weber, Patrick Demarchelier, Gian Paolo Barbieri, Paolo Roversi, Norman Parkinson, Arthur Elgort, Gilles Bensimon, Sante D'Orazio, Ellen von Unwerth, and Nick Knight among others.
1988–1992: The supermodel era
It was Lindbergh who, in the fall of 1988, suggested to Evangelista that she cut her hair short[10][23] after seeing her try on a short wig for a photoshoot. Consequently, she got a short gamine haircut from the French hairstylist Julien d'Ys.[10][23][24] The following day, she was photographed by Lindbergh, which resulted in a now-famous photograph known as "the white shirt picture".[23] Initially, the haircut was not well received by the fashion industry, and Evangelista was cancelled from 16 fashion shows.[10][17][25] However, by the spring of 1989, Evangelista's haircut was the look of the season.[24][26][27] The haircut was referred to as "The Linda", and it inspired the creation of a wig called "The Evangelista".[13] Even famous women sought to emulate the look. Among them were Demi Moore, who sported the haircut in the 1990 film Ghost, and Susan Sullivan from the television show Falcon Crest. It has been said of Evangelista that "the world's most famous haircut turned her from an averagely in-demand top model to an insanely in-demand, only-Linda-will-do top model, so sensationally successful that the word 'supermodel' had to be coined to describe her".[28]
Evangelista became known as one of the five supermodels, a group of star models who reached the pinnacle of success during the late 1980s and early 1990s.[29][30][31] The supermodels were considered more famous than most actresses and singers of that time.[3][32][33] In addition, Evangelista, along with Christy Turlington and Naomi Campbell comprised a triumvirate that was dubbed "The Trinity".[10][21][34] They were joined by Cindy Crawford and Tatjana Patitz for the cover of the January 1990 issue of British Vogue,[10] which was photographed by Lindbergh.[23] Upon seeing the cover, the singer George Michael chose to cast these five models[10][23][35] in the music video for his song, "Freedom '90", in which they lipsynched the words to the song. In May of that year, Evangelista was chosen as one of the "50 Most Beautiful People in the World" by People.[13] She also appeared on the The Oprah Winfrey Show where she served as a judge for an Elite model search competition, and chose Leslie Bibb as the winner, who later became an actress.[36]
We have this expression, Christy and I. We don't wake up for less than $10,000 a day.
In an interview printed in the October 1990 issue of Vogue, Evangelista said the words, "We don't wake up for less than $10,000 a day."[13][37] That statement is now thought of as the most famous quote in modeling history,[38] and it has been described as "the 'Let them eat cake' of the 20th century".[39][40] Also in October 1990, Evangelista stunned the fashion world by having the hairstylist Oribe dye her naturally-brown hair platinum blond.[41][42][43] Months later, she had her hair dyed a shocking shade of red known as "technicolor red".[32][44] Throughout most of her modeling career, Evangelista was referred to as the fashion industry's "chameleon" for the way that she constantly reinvented herself with various hairstyles and ever-changing hair colors that inspired hair trends.[5][29][34][45] In terms of her looks, she was likened to Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, Ava Gardner, and Gina Lollobrigida.[37]
In 1991, it was speculated that the fashion house Lanvin paid Evangelista $20,000 to walk in their haute couture show for the spring/summer season, an amount that was considered excessive.[3][46] Male model Tyson Beckford mentioned in an interview that Evangelista was instrumental in getting higher rates for models.[47] That April, Evangelista waived her runway fee as an act of support for fashion designer Anna Sui's debut collection, and instead accepted clothing as payment.[48][49] Two months later, she attended Valentino's 30th Anniversary Gala in Rome, Italy with Meisel.[50][51] In September 1991, Time ran a cover story on the supermodels.[52] The following month, in an article for Vogue, fashion journalist Suzy Menkes described Evangelista as "the world's star model".[53] Evangelista then starred in the 1991 documentary Models: The Film, directed by Lindbergh.[54] And, an episode of the MTV show House of Style devoted a segment to Evangelista, which was filmed in Paris.[13][55]
During the latter part of 1991 and throughout 1992, Evangelista was seen on several different billboards for the fashion brand Kenar, in the center of Times Square.[56] The billboards were done in conjunction with Ads Against AIDS, which was a campaign created by the advertising industry to raise awareness about tackling the disease.[57] The most talked about and most controversial of those billboards was one that showed Evangelista seated among seven Sicilian women.[58] It was said that the image promoted a negative depiction of Italian women.[58][59] Nonetheless, limited edition prints of the image were sold for $1,000 a piece, to benefit Ads Against AIDS.[58][60] Also, the image was chosen as one of the "20 most important fashion photographs ever" by the International Center of Photography.[61] Kenneth Zimmerman, president of Kenar, said of Evangelista, "She has increased our sales dramatically."[3] He further added, "Linda was our Michael Jordan. We chose her because we wanted a star, and of the four or five star models, she is number one."[32]
In April 1992, Evangelista and several other supermodels graced the cover of the 100th anniversary issue of Vogue,[13] which remains to this day as the magazine's highest-selling issue.[62][63] She then appeared in the music video for George Michael's "Too Funky" song, in which she parodied her modeling persona. She was also said to have started the trend for thin eyebrows,[64][65] which later coincided with the arrival of the Neo-Hippie fashion trend in the fall of 1992.[66] Her cover for the September 1992 issue of Harper's Bazaar is now seen as iconic,[67] and it was ranked #9 on the American Society of Magazine Editors' list of the "Top 40 Magazine Covers of the Last 40 Years" in 2005.[68] Toward the end of 1992, her name was immortalized in RuPaul's song, "Supermodel (You Better Work)".
1993–1998: The latter years
Evangelista made headlines in 1993 when she traveled to Australia with Claudia Schiffer for a 5-day tour, which included a news conference and a televised fashion show, as part of the grand opening of a department store.[69][70] In October 1994, Evangelista was one of several models on the cover of Vogue Italia′s 30th anniversary issue. She then appeared in the feature film Prêt-à-Porter. In 1995, the hairstylist Garren of New York changed Evangelista's look by giving her an asymmetrical bob similar to mod hairstyles of the 1960s.[71] That same year, she took part in Thierry Mugler′s 20th anniversary fashion show.[72] Evangelista later landed an endorsement deal with Clairol worth over $5 million.[5][73] She also starred in the fashion documentary Unzipped. Additionally, she co-hosted the Miss World competition.
In 1996, Evangelista was one of the ten subjects of Lindbergh's book 10 Women, on whose cover she appeared. She was also seen in the fashion documentary Catwalk. She was also the cover model for the inaugural issues of Vogue Taiwan and Vogue Korea.[74] And, she landed a $7.75 million contract with Yardley of London.[13] Eventually, she made the choice to retire from modeling in 1998,[8][28] and settled on the French Riviera, where she spent the next two years.[75]

The next year, she was back on the high-fashion runways, walking for Versace and Dolce & Gabbana.[80] Furthermore, she closed Chanel's fall/winter 2003 haute couture show wearing a white wedding gown.[34][81] In 2004, she appeared in the spring/summer ad campaigns for both NARS Cosmetics[82] and Fendi.[34] She also walked the runway for Jean Paul Gaultier's debut collection at Hermès.[34][83] That summer, she was featured in Ann Taylor's 50th anniversary ad campaign, photographed by Annie Leibovitz.[84][85]

Child support case
In October 2006, Evangelista gave birth to a son, refusing to name his biological father, sparking rumors.[126] While pregnant, she appeared on the August 2006 cover of Vogue. In late June 2011, Evangelista filed court papers that revealed her son was fathered by billionaire Frenchman François-Henri Pinault, by then the husband of actress Salma Hayek.[127][128] After several court appearances aimed at establishing a child-support agreement, on August 1, 2011, Evangelista formally filed for a child support order in Manhattan Family Court, seeking $46,000 in monthly child support from Pinault.[129] It was reported that if granted, this amount "would probably be the largest support order in the history of the family court".[130] A heavily-publicized[131] child support trial began on May 3, 2012,[132] and included testimony from both Pinault and Evangelista, with Evangelista's attorney claiming that Pinault had never supported the child.[133][134] Several days into the trial, on May 7, 2012, Evangelista and Pinault reached an out-of-court settlement.[135]
