“To my followers who have wondered why I haven’t been working while my peers’ careers are thriving: the reason is that I was savagely disfigured by Zeltiq’s CoolSculpting procedure, which did the opposite of what was promised.” Just two years ago, Linda Evangelista published this shocking message on Instagram in which she revealed her long absence from the fashion industry.
The 90s supermodel saw her career paralyzed by this treatment with which she sought to recover her figure. Evangelista filed a lawsuit against this company for $50 million in damages, alleging that she had not been able to work from August 2015 to February 2016.
The result of this “fat freezing” technique – presented as a non-invasive alternative to liposuction – also created a deep depression in him. “Before I loved being on the catwalk. Now I’m terrified of meeting someone I know,” he explained months after publishing the letter to People magazine. “I can’t continue living like this, hidden and ashamed. I can’t continue living with this pain,” she declared.
A year and a half after this interview, the model has completely recovered from depression and has returned to the fashion industry with a bang. At 58 years old, Evangelista is happy with her face and her body and she has become one of Steven Meisel’s muses for his first capsule collection for Zara.
The photographer has brought together models from different decades to pose in front of his lens with the designs he has created for the Inditex brand. One of the big stars of the session is Evangelista, who a few days ago posed radiantly with Marta Ortega, president of Inditex.
In addition, this week the supermodel has presented the photographic book Linda Evangelista photographed by Steven Meisel, a work that compiles the most legendary images of the Canadian since 1987. In the publication she made on Instagram, the top is grateful to her colleagues in the profession. and appears proud of her new image.
