Scandals, Linda Evangelista. in cosmetic surgery hell
LISTEN TO THE PODCAST!
If we were to mark the beginning of the phenomenon of supermodels, Linda Evangelista’s name would be on the first place. Often considered the original member of this clan, she has appeared on the most magazine covers, over 700… During her huge career as a top model, Linda Evangelista earned the nickname “the chameleon”. He could transform into any woman, any shoot, any designer… It is also due to this versatility that his career reached heights and lasted for a long time. But, in a painful irony, it was botched cosmetic surgery that later “disfigured” her in her own words, ending a career that established her as one of history’s greatest models.
In this mini-series about the personal lives of supermodels, journalist Marie Salah takes you back to the end of the last century, where these women ruled the catwalks and where their beauty was all-powerful. How did Linda Evangelista, a teenager, notice Karl Lagerfeld? How much have her love stories been talked about? When did her dream turn into a nightmare after the cryolipolysis procedure?
