Harper’s Bazaar welcomes its Beauty Issue for the month of May, where journalist Linda Wells and cover star Linda Evangelista discuss life, learning to love your flaws and imperfections, and grappling with the ever-changing landscape of beauty. Through all the travails, anguish, and scars, the gallant super in her life of storied achievements, resolve is stronger than ever to seize life and live it fearlessly on her terms as she navigates a culture preoccupied with notions like aging and beauty:
“I really thing beauty is something you earn. I think of my grandmothers’ faces and what the war did to them, the toll it took on them… just wearing their hardships. They wore it, and they were so gorgeous. It had nothing to do with perfection or youth.”

She’s already mastered the fine art of cool and is in her own class of awesome. Here’s wishing Birgit the happiest of birthdays. The world is so fortunate to have your love and inspiration.
You said you’re leavin’ It’s time to be free I’m free of me at last Am I so mean that you’re haunting my dreams This could mean it’s a little played fact
It wasn’t wise but the snow pierced the sky But the sound disappeared with your tent You get the town but you’re so big and round And the snow was spiraling our lamps
You’re just a work for some other croutons Something’s wrong with you Clearly love lasts Heart suffering lives every night and then Once you’re grounded you’re feeling so fast
You probably know when you’re running insane Probably learn from meeting two hearts Then I tried to take the money to save From here, darling, it’s all so small now

Love at the speed of light Has the thought even crossed your mind? You’re the star in my dreams tonight Call me up when you’re planet-side And I’ll drop in at once Book a flight to the sun ‘Cause I’d rather be burned alive If I thought it would catch your eye Tied at the hip You think I’d lose my grip ’cause I Love you to death tonight Call me up when you’re planet-side And I’ll make you mine

Atop the reservoir behind The Angel I took in Poitín from a plastic cup And then I must have wandered a thousand miles Cursing all the cars and stars for their luck And then I know I stepped onboard a vision And I must have followed it with the wind Up until I came to the tough decision That it might be time to let go within
Now there’s a part of it Forever be young I left in the heart of it NW1

And so then cut adrift up Camden Passage I found myself walking with a chalk white foal All along the Regent’s Canal placid As I walk, I fill my pockets with coal And thеn feeding snide scores to a cabby To get mе with a banshee across to Bow All along the Teeling keening in me I think I must have drowned in the radio
And I awoke, and I awoke And I awoke, and I awoke And I awoke with notes left on a table Some were marked with pen, some with the Queen And when I arrive back in The Angel She will know exactly where I’d been
Now there’s a part of it Forever be young I left in the heart of it NW1 Yeah, now there’s a part of it Forever be young I left in the heart of it NW1 NW1

The super multi-hyphenate shares her insights on being an entrepreneur and work ethic. Elsa also talks about her upbringing, family, career, and being a bit of a loner and creative.
“I’ve been so lucky to wear an incredible amount of clothes as a model, both good and bad,” she says. “Simply being able to feel the materials and speak to design teams, I learned so much.”
