"We don't wake up for less than $10,000 a day."
Linda Evangelista was the bold supermodel who took a risk that paid off. A native Canadian, Linda was discovered in 1978 at a Miss Teen Niagara pageant, and quickly made it to the New York and Paris scene. In the late 1980s she chopped off her hair and sported a shorter boy-style do. The move had her dropped from that season's biggest runways shows, but it eventually brought her to the cover of multiple magazines, and inspired women across the nation to change their hair too. Over time there were more dramatic hairstyle changes as well as more runway, magazine and ad appearances leading her to utter that now infamous quote. Still modeling, Evangelista returned the model to its rightful place - the cover of Vogue - in 2006, the first non-singer or actress to appear in a year, and in 2007 signed multiple year exclusive contract with L'Oreal and was featured in Prada's Fall 2008 campaigns.
