Linda Evangelista: Canadian Supermodel
 Linda
Evangelista was born (1965 ) to Italian parents and was raised
in a working class, traditional Catholic family. Along with

and Naomi Campbell, Linda is regarded as one of the few, true
supermodels that changed the face of fashion in the late 1980s
and early 1990s. She has been dubbed 'The Chameleon' for
her unique ability to adapt her look. She became famous after
having her hair cropped short by stylist Julian D'Ys at the
suggestion of photographer Peter Lindbergh. She has also

Beautiful People'. Linda once joked that she wouldn't get out of
bed for less than $10,000 a day. She markets her own signature
brand exercise equipment.
