Supermodel Linda Evangelista

Born May 10, 1965 in St. Catharine’s, Ontario. Linda always had an interest in becoming a famous model and worked hard to get to where she is today. At the young age of only 13, she had won the 1978 “Miss Teen Niagara” and was discovered by a scout from Elite Model Management. By age 13, Linda had signed to a Toronto modelling company and at age 16 signed with Elite Modelling in New York. Over the years Linda has been regarded as one of the few true supermodels that changed the face of fashion in the late 1980`s and early 90`s. After all between 1988 to 1996 she can be credited to, starting about 11 different hair styles that where very popular. In addition, Linda was the founder of the supermodel union along with three other supermodels, which brought new standards and rules making better working conditions and pay for the models. In her modelling career to date Linda have been in over 63 various advertisements, been on the cover of 68 magazines and easily been in over 15 fashion shows through out the years. For all of her accomplishments and the changes she made in the modelling industry, Linda Evangelista will always be in my mind one of “Canada’s Top Models”.
