Look-A-Like

Back in March of 1994, Vogue Italy captured Linda Evangelista, photographed by Steven Meisel, in rare form.  While still exuding her gorgeous, natural looks, she looks more than just vaguely like a well-known actress. The Hollywood icon that immediately jumped to mind was Katherine Hepburn, but I can also see a bit of resemblance to Lucille Ball or Judy Garland. After reading an inspiring post about Ms. Hepburn recently, I couldn’t help but share these photos with you when I came upon them. Out of curiosity, who does she remind you of? I’d love to know.

Linda Evangelista - Talbots 2010 Fall Collection

As way of attracting a broader range of customers, Talbots has hired model Linda Evangelista for their Fall 2010 collection. Photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, Evangelista dons revamped classic styles that present an image of class, yet strong femininity.  When asked why the company decided to go invoke such a change, CEO Trudy Sullivan stated, “We feel she represents a successful woman that speaks to 40-plus-year old women.”

Regardless of the fact that Linda, at age 45, looks even more amazing than most teen models, I for one am looking at Talbots with a bit more curiosity.  What do you think?
