“Inspiration hasn’t been the same without her! She is an enormous influence on all phographers and stylists. For me and Domenico, Linda is the model. If you talk about models of the sixties and seventies, the first name is Veruschka. In the eighties and nineties, it’s Linda.”
Stefano Gabbana
"When she was very young she was too cute. She found her style later and worked on it as no other model has. Christy Turlington and Claudia Schiffer got things easily. Linda had to fight and I like fighters - even if it gives the reputation of not being so nice. Who cares? I have the same reputation in mu filed but I am not sure that I worked so hard as Linda."
Karl Lagerfeld, (Vogue UK)
“Linda Evangelista is always beautiful, even when she's screaming. She'll have her mouth open, her nose crinkled up, and she looks gorgeous.”
Tyra Banks
"The reason she's a favorite, is that she's a brave, creative woman who is totally open-minded about what you're trying to do. She helps you bring out your own creativity."
Mary Greenwell (Vogue UK)
