"C'est (Linda) une faiseuse d'images. Elle se projette, sans jamais se mettre à la place du photographe."
Dominique Issermann, French Elle, 2003
"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)
"Evangelista has an obvious love of language, and she employs certain words - in both French and English - with skill and a healthy sense of irony. At times she can be very, very funny."
Jonathan Van Meter
“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
"I once vainly asked her to consider coming to work for Vogue as a fashion editor, since her knowledge of style and image-making is boundless. She's also much loved by the industry. Should Linda ever decide to quit modeling for good, my offer still stands."
Anna Wintour
