Linda on the line or closing out PRADA

Linda Evangelista for Prada - LG mobile phones, 2008-09, ph. Steven Meisel

With spring-summer 2009 campaigns invading fashion magazines, it's the end of Linda Evangelista's spokesperson period for Prada.

It will be hard for me to get over it as I got so used to see Linda everywhere, from optician windows to billboards in airport shopping areas. But no regrets, Linda's Prada season ends on a positive touch : an additional campaign for Prada LG phones ! Its style strongly contrasts with Prada's ready-to-wear line and it's enough to reconcile Linda's with all her fans

All shades of terracotta for the 2nd Germaine de Capuccini campaign with Linda

Linda Evangelista for "Excel Therapy Premier" from Germaine de Capuccini, 2008, ph. unknown

We were all focused on Prada and now already switching our attention to Dsquarred2... but we forgot to mention that Linda Evangelista is for the second year in a row the face of Spanish deluxe SPA cosmetics brand Germaine de Capuccini ! Well, all blame on me, the scan has been sitting on my PC for some time as I didn't have time for Levangelista.net. Now it's finally shared.

From the first "Oceanic Feeling" campaign, Germaine de Capuccini has moved to "Earthy Essence" still remaining highly sensory, so endulge your senses.

Mirror, mirror on the wall...

Linda dukes it out with long-time pal Naomi for DSquared Spring/Summer 2009

I don't know what exactly the mirror replied, but Linda Evangelista and supermodel pal Naomi Campbell seem to be in a slight disagreement on the subject and are decided to get the facts straight at all costs in an empty building cave. At least this is the fairy tale vision of beauty by DSquared2 for its new S/S 09 advertising campaign. A preview of the campaign with the 2 attagirls dressed with fetish glamour and lensed by Steven Meiselis available on their web site.

With this fashionable battle, we will surely turn into sports commentators. In this first round, with Noami's hand under her neck, Linda seems in a difficult position. But she is stepping on Naomi's toe.. so if she manages to get better grasp of Naomi's wrists, she might still try a Tenchi Nage technique. Looking forward for the second round.

We'll post more ads as they start coming in! Stay tuned!

It's 2009 - Happy New Year !

All the best wishes for 2009 to Linda Evangelista's fans as well as all Levangelista.net visitors !

A few comments on 2008... You've probably noticed that updates on Levangelista.net were quite rare lately. With Shana we were both quite busy and didn't even have time to keep in touch. But despite our supermodel schedules, we still plan to be on line in 2009 for another exciting year that we hope rich with new pictures of Linda E ! Fingers crossed.

Linda Makes Appearance in Paris

Linda Evangelista in Paris, posing with her Notify bag and its designer, Ron Arad

PARIS - Fashion's ever-iconic Linda Evangelista made an appearance on November 18, 2008, at the Centre Pompidou in Paris to once again show her support for luxury denim label Notify, which sponsored multiple-discipline designer Ron Arad's solo exhibition. The newly brunette-cropped Evangelista was seen sporting one of Arad's creations, a transparent liquid crystal bag made exclusively for Notify.

As reported by Style.com: The ergonomic, elliptical shoulder bag has an indestructible polycarbon porthole and a long-life battery that lets it light up at the wearer’s discretion, making it possible to see the bag’s contents. “It’s a proto-concept,” explained Notify boss Maurice Ohayon, who noted that the first series of 12 (or possibly 24) would be ready in as little as three months, although details like materials, color, and price have yet to be defined. “It’s an evolving concept,” he said. “We found the name an hour ago.” The first bag’s owner is none other than Linda Evangelista, who first recommended that Ohayon contact the Israeli artist: “During our first conversation I said, ‘Ron, I want to carry one of your chairs on my shoulder,’ and I got it,” the supermodel explained. “I understood exactly what she meant,” added Arad.

Among the visible items were a water bottle and an unidentifiable magazine with U.S. president-elect Barack Obama on the cover. Needless to say, Linda wasn't keeping any secrets that night.
