Linda Evangelista: Canada’s Supermodel
Linda Evangelista, who turned 50 this year, was already a successful model in the late 80’s but during a photo shoot in 1988 the hair stylist on-set transformed her look with one giant snip. The haircut (which initially brought Linda to tears) would become a cultural phenomenon and she has since said it “quadrupled” her rate. A star is sometimes born, one lock at a time. Here we look at some of Linda’s best hair moments.
