It’s been five years since the intervention that, according to her, changed her image and that would change her direction within the fashion industry. Now, the iconic supermodel of the nineties is photographed uncomplicatedly on the four digital covers of V Magazine for the first issue of 2024. For the love of Linda (for the love of Linda), the magazine is titled to honor Evangelista. All four covers are shot by legendary fashion photographer Steven Klein, in his first shoot in over a decade.
Klein is one of the industry’s most recognized and controversial professionals for his irreverent images, in which sexuality often comes to the fore. This time, the snaps show the model chameleon changing and transforming, swathed in gold from head to toe and topped off with a perfectly cinched toe frog. She is back, write the trendy header.
Stylist Patti Wilson has been in charge of conveying Evangelista’s message in a bold way through the clothes. With an imposing red cape and a long lace bodice customized by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, the return of the supermodel is evident until reaching her new rebirth, transformed into a shining figure of gold.
