Hmm, why 'plastic' ? Someone said plastic and it keeps on being repeated as broken record. Linda's retouched in exactly the same way as all models, whatever their age. Or all A/W 2008 ads should be called 'plastic'.

As I discover them in mags, I love more and more these Prada ads. There is maturity, something statuesque and slightly retro in the poses but also lightness at the same time. Or maybe I have the "lightness" impression because I'm not used to see Linda so slim... I like the shadows idea as well. There are like Prada's spirit inhabiting the mysterious set.

The only thing that I don't appreciate is the way the accessories, shoes and bags, are thrown at us.

Chic Report told you first that the mega-original supermodels would be making larger-than-life comebacks this season–and the September issue of Vanity Fair officially confirms our suspicions. The September book will feature not one, not two, but SIX supermodels on its glossy fold-out cover. What could be better than a six-pack punch of Stephanie Seymor, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington and Cindy Crawford? Talk about ka-ching.

That's fantastic news Thanks Tito ! This cover rumour first surfaced in April I guess, or maybe yearlier... but then nothing. So I thought that it was just this, a rumour.

If that is "scary" then we all should be so lucky to be so scary!!!!

Oh come on it is totally annoying! Look at Linda's public candids?! She looks FABULOUS! I think all ads are photoshoped this days... and there's nothing wrong or fatal about it... well whatever! I think I prefer photoshoped version of Linda 100000 times than some girl who weights 1 kg and looks like a zombie and plus is totally overrated...

i can visualise only very few advs where models look more or less the same they look in real....

She looks like Sophia Loren in the picture with the monkey Amazing. Beautiful

I agree with you........almost all photos now are retouched and that is regardless of the age of the model. But I am not a fan of these Prada ads.......IMO she looks 'plastic' and I am right in thinking that Linda has admitted to having botox in the past. I also think that Linda is still a fantastic model and looks way younger than her actual age..........but again looks slightly odd in the L'Oreal TV ads Then again L'Oreal TV ads are quite odd in general.

Some more vintage Linda pics.
