‘[Growing up] in St. Catharines my family rarely came around the lake to Toronto. This was the big city. So tonight, to be here with my family, is incredibly special,” Linda said on stage Fashion.

‘For me, fashion has always been a place where dreams, ambitions and inspirations flourish. The great thing about fashion is that there is no right or wrong way to create it; fashion allows us to choose not only how we see ourselves, but also how we present ourselves to the world.”

Evangelista put her statuesque 6-foot figure in a silver-adorned skirt suit from, who else, Erdem and chrome pumps.

Linda suffered from a ‘very rare but serious side effect’ called Paradoxical Fatty Hyperplasia, which caused her fatty tissue to thicken and expand instead of dissolving.

Evangelista then sued CoolSculpting’s owner Zeltiq Aesthetics for $50 million in damages for emotional distress and lost revenue in 2021. organized 10 months later.

The breast cancer survivor – who has appeared on more than 700 magazine covers – told Vogue in 1990 that she and her fellow supermodels “don’t wake up for less than ten thousand dollars a day” for a job.

“I had no idea it would get so much attention,” Linda admitted last year in her Disney+ docuseries The Super Models.

‘I don’t want to be known for that. I did so much more than just that quote, but it really sticks.”
