I never thought I would work again: In the latest issue of ZEIT Magazine, the one and only Linda Evangelista talks to ZEIT’s style directer and writer Claire Beermann about her goings-on since returning to fashion. Analogizing what happened to her as something of a Greek Tragedy, Evangelista and Beerman discuss fashion and society’s ever changing yet paradoxical relationship with beauty:

“It was something of a Greek tragedy: a beautiful person is punished for wanting to be beautiful forever. Yet beautiful looks have always been the standard for a model.”

“I love my industry because it doesn’t hold the mistake I made against me. It embraces me.” The fashion world also loves an entertaining tragedy – as long as you don’t see too much of it.”

Liner Notes: I really don’t comment on hair or makeup much, but Bob Recine and Romy Soleimani did such as wonderful job. It’s bad ass but really elegant and it can’t help but think of Patti Smith and The Velvet Underground. Cass Bird’s photography is of course flawless. Cass and Linda is just magic.
