Linda Evangelista marks her return to modelling with Fendi
It seems the demand for 90s supermodels is still high in 2022, and after a terrible experience last year with a botched cosmetic CoolSculpting procedure that left her body "brutally disfigured", Linda Evangelista is sowing the seeds for a remarkable return to form this year. Over the weekend, the 57-year-old shared a photo of herself modelling for Fendi to mark 25 years of its iconic Fendi Baguette handbag, the campaign a pre-cursor to a show later this year in September. Photographed by long-time collaborator Steven Meisel, the teaser campaign sees Evangelista styled in the excessive handwriting of French super-stylist Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele with makeup by Pat McGrath and hair by Guido Palau.

Anthony Vaccarello presents his dreamy menswear show in Marrakech
The mystique of Marrakech continues to inspire fashion designers, and no other has helped immortalise that connection than the late Yves Saint Laurent who lived between Paris and a home in Marrakech in 1966 with his then-partner Pierre Bergé. The city became the designer's intimate refuge in contrast to his busy Parisian work schedule, so this past weekend it made sense for the house's present-day creative director Anthony Vaccarello to host his menswear collection for spring/summer 2023 there.
