"The French manicure will never go out of style": Rita Remark, the woman who has done the nails to Cindy Crawford or Meghan Markle
Anne Hathaway, Doña Letizia, Naomi Campbell... The most fascinating looks of the week
In the adaptation of 'Persuasion' by Jane Austen there is the summer complement that you do not expect
It was in 2021 when
Linda Evangelista
, one of the most important supermodels of the 90s, decided to take a step forward and tell why she had been
away from the public image for five years
: an
aesthetic intervention called 'coolsculpting' failed
miserably, causing the opposite effect to the desired
In other words, instead of eliminating localized fat cells that were frozen, her entire body was permanently lumpy, leaving her
"permanently deformed,"
Evangelista wrote in a statement on her Instagram profile. .
Not even two "painful" interventions aimed at undoing the effects of the treatment were enough, and the model ended up developing not only the syndrome she
has affected his recent professional life
, but also
depression
and a self-esteem problem from which he has slowly been recovering.
And although this story is far from over (Evangelista sued the company for the first aesthetic procedure), she does seem to be taking on a more friendly look for the model, who
has now returned to fashion starring in a Fendi campaign
.
The reason is more than justified: the Italian house celebrates
the 25th anniversary of its legendary 'baguette' bag
.
An event for which a reissue has already been made and for which Fendi will organize a
"special parade in New York"
on September 9, a moment that they will also take advantage of to celebrate that
Kim Jones has been at the helm of the firm for two years
as artistic director Haute Couture and women's fashion.
All very round, go.
And a celebration like this needs a face to match.
One that marked an era and that despite the pain it has experienced, is still beautiful.

It is poetic justice that Linda Evangelista is the protagonist of the Fendi campaign for several reasons, and not just current ones.
The first is that
the model often walked for Fendi when Karl Lagerfeld was in charge
;
the second, that she has a great relationship with Kim Jones.
The third but not least, that the person in charge of photographing the campaign is
Steven Meisel
, with whom Evangelista has worked on so many occasions that theirs became an unbeatable professional relationship, both generating some of the most emblematic fashion images of the History.
How could it be otherwise, all very round.
In the only image of the campaign that Evangelista and Fendi have published, the model appears with
several pink caps on her head, sunglasses in the same shade
and a dark gray and pale pink capelina and knitted gloves respectively.
Because the accessories that have to stand out are, of course, the
baguette bags
, which appear in the image in various sizes and finishes, such as
silver sequins.

The signs of affection on the part of the public and colleagues in the industry have not been long in coming, who have expressed their happiness at seeing the model back in her first public job after the trauma she has experienced.
Nor are the
speculations
about whether the collaboration between Linda Evangelista and Fendi will extend beyond photography and
she will participate in the September show
.
For asking, it would be a dream.
The return of an icon that, like the 'baguette' bag and energy, is neither created nor destroyed, only transformed.
