FASHION Magazine celebrates 35 years!

Linda! Cindy! Naomi! Christy! Models in the 90's were on a one name basis. No need for last names as we all knew the gorgeously tall creatures strutting the runways. But one truly iconic name was fellow Canadian Linda, as in Linda Evangelista. The St. Catherines, Ontario native is the cover model for the November issue of FASHION Magazine's 35th Anniversary collectors edition.

On the cover, Linda is wearing a dress by Lanvin. Photographed by Pamela Hanson. Styled by Tammy Eckenswiller. Hair by Brent Lavett for Art Department/Lavett & Chin. Makeup by Sam Addington for Kramer + Kramer. Manicure by Julie Kandalec for Bernstein & Andriulli/Chanel

On maintaining her privacy:

“I really like just to do covers and do the beautiful editorials,” she says. “I like to pass on the interview part.”

On recognizing the downside of the digital age and its detrimental effect on fashion photography:

Instead of taking the trouble to get things right as a picture is being taken, often the effort is left to post-production. “I have pictures that I did with Steven Meisel that were not retouched…we held eight reflectors if we had to make the light perfect. They didn’t have to erase a shadow or bag or wrinkle or pimple.”

On her workout regimen:

“I have a trainer. I do spinning. I do cross-training. I do weightlifting. I do my Power Plate. I do my rebounder trampoline. I do my rowing machine. And I play sports.”

The November issue goes on sale October 8, 2012.
