Since the creation of this site in 2006, its team has been focusing on bringing the proof of the number of covers that Linda Evangelista has worked for. With the publishing of the October 2016 issue of Tapas, we have reached 700 COVERS in our galery... and we don't want to stop ! By happy coincidence this cover has the allure of a party !
We believe that there are still more covers to look for and we'll post regularly our findings. If you have on your side any rare gems in your collection don't hesitate to share - we're be delighted and will duly credit your contribution.
So what should be our next objective - should we try to reach 800 covers in 2017 ?
"30,000 elephants killed a year? #KnotOnMyPlanet Tie a knot. Donate. End the slaughter. knotonmyplanet.org". This is how on 9th of September Linda Evangelista, along with other fashion folks, launched the fund raising campaign for the Elephant Crisis Fund - a joint initiative of Save the Elephants and the Wildlife Conservation Network. A number of artistic initiatives supporting this cause followed suit.
Linda's contribution was a reunion photo with the former so called fashion "Trinity". In an article published on people.com, Doutzen Kroes, global ambassador of this fund, explained how Linda fueled this shot idea : “I would love to take credit for the shoot, but I can’t,” Kroes confesses. “I’m not sure who exactly thought of it, but I’m sure it was Linda! When she heard about #KnotOnMyPlanet she didn’t hesitate to not get involved — and no one really says ‘no’ when Linda calls!”.
In an interview for Vmagazine, Linda further explains how it felt to be working again with this familiar team : Patrick Demarchelier, Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele, Oribe, Fulvia and Pascal Dangin: "felt like a family reunion".
Linda is participating in the new Jeans for Refugees charity campaign to raise funds for refugees around the world. She is one of a hundred different models and celebrities that have donated their jeans to be hand painted by Johny Dar Creations. All proceeds are going to the International Rescue Committee.
All one hundred jeans will be on display at the Saatchi Gallery in London beginning October 24th when the bidding begins. Bidding will close on October 30, 2016. You can bid online at catawiki.com/jeansforrefugees. Keep checking the site for Linda’s jeans, which will be added to the auction at a later date.
NOTEWORTHY: The photo of Linda used in this campaign was originally part of the Alberta Ferretti Fall/Winter 1990 campaign, photographed by Steven Meisel.
To celebrate the pureness of spring, here is a flash to 1996 with a very Japanese Italian brand EPOCA. We don't have any information on the people who realised these white on white pictures and the brand seems doesn't exist anymore.
Happy birthday to the grand dame of modelling who turns 51 years old this year. That isover 3 decades of fashion ! And we hope more is to come !
