Linda Evangelista as Ava Gardner

I don’t think anyone would be better than Linda in this editorial for impersonating Ava Gardner, her dramatic and breathtaking beauty and her on- and off-screen style. With her chameleonic face and startling, well defined features, Linda is perfect for the role, in a Spanish location maybe, as Spain, where she lived for many years, seemed the right setting for Ava’s passionate nature.

    I love this one too! I would never get enough of Linda and Lindbergh’s photography, which is more art than fashion, really. Gorgeous fashion story…

    Wishing you a beautiful day, darling!

    What a great editorial. She is so beautiful but also really interesting looking. I love the shot of her in the red dress.
