Linda Evangelista

One of the elite supermodels, Linda Evangelista's iconic image made her the greatest model ever produced by Canada. She earned fame by appearing in a few George Michael videos (Freedom) as well as being the face of many companies, including heavyweights like American Express, Barney's, Calvin Klein, Gianni Versace, Ralph Lauren and many more. Born May 10, 1965 in St. Catharines, Ontario is a Canadian supermodel. She is 5'9 1/2" tall and her natural hair colour is brown. She knew she wanted to become a model when she was 12 years old. She got into the modeling industry when she was discovered by a talent agent at the 1978 Miss Teen Niagara Contest. She later moved to New York City and signed with the Elite Model Agency there.


She then moved to Paris, France to further her career. When she is not on the catwalk she is an advocate for breast cancer awareness. In 1996 she won the VH1 Fashion Awards Lifetime Achievement Award. She has a star on Canada's Walk of Fame in Toronto. She earned her nickname "Chameleon" by changing her hair-styles and color every second week! To me she's the "Diva" among the fashion models!
