ELITE decided to send her to its Paris branch, where there was a patron and husband in one person - the president of the European branch of ELITE Gerald Marie. Linda worked 300 days a year and became supermodel global scale.
She became the first model to be offered by super honoraria just because she was attending a fashion event.
For 14 years, Linda Evangelista was the queen of the catwalk. And suddenly she left fashion businessso that, as she said, never come back. Itself, voluntarily ...
Her decision was a big surprise for everyone. At 35, Linda decided to start a family, have a child. But this desire was not destined to come true so immediately, as indeed, and her rise to the glory of a supermodel.
Only at the age of 41, Linda gave birth to her first child.
