Isn’t the resemblance striking? Linda has such an extraordinary face expressiveness and the ability to metamorphose from one editorial to another, more than any other model. I’ve recently found this photoshoot and loved it so much. She has managed to encapsulate Katharine Hepburn’s uniqueness. Katharine was too sophisticated to be to everyone’s taste, but it was her non-conformity that eventually made her a pioneer of style, one of the women who made fashion.

You’re right about Katharine and indeed this is a fantastic shoot! I’d never seen it before, so thanks for sharing! Oh and happy 2012 of course – best wishes to you! x
Beautiful shoot!
She’s such a chameleon Linda isn’t she…and Katherine Hepburn was a great beauty with such style – you’re right not to everyone’s taste though. Great editorial Ada.

It is so strange my relationship with Linda, wink! Sometimes I love her, sometime I don’t! She has something of Katharine here, but this particular look is not one of my favorites…maybe it’s the blond curly hair! Of course, you wanted to underline the resemblance, which she sure managed it very well (she and all the designers/artists around her).
PS: Happy New Year, Ada and thanks for stopping by before Christmas! Hope you had some wonderful holidays 😉
Amazing she certainly captured the essence of Catherine who i feel was one of the late greats x

This is fantastic! Linda did a super job capturing the one-of-a-kind Katharine.
I’ve also never seen the resemblance before but it’s uncanny! This is a truly stunning editorial! Happy New Year Ada, hope 2012 is filled with happiness and success for you!
Oh wow what a resemblance! She looks so alike in this gorgeous shoot.
simply gorgeous. Both women are incredibly stunning.
If you hadn’t told me it was Audry Hepburn look I wouldnt have gotten it, but then I covered her blonde curls and I totally saw it. Nonetheless a striking editorial!
