So it seems this is a new magazine after all since this article was just posted today on their website:
Angela Lindvall, model, actress and mother of two, has just returned from the Telegraph Fashion shoot – a typical day of post-industrial waste, snarling dogs, and temperatures soaring to 40C at Le Mirage, a dried lake two hours from LA. Coincidentally, she was recently called for a second audition for a part in the remake of George Miller’s Mad Max, which was the inspiration for this photoshoot.
‘I think it is an omen,’ Lindvall says. ‘I’m hoping it means I’ll get the part.’
In 2007 she was one of six models photographed for Louis Vuitton’s s/s 08 ad campaign. It marked a return to the power of ‘the supermodel’. Lindvall sees that campaign as a eureka moment in her life. Being chosen to pose alongside Claudia Schiffer, Stephanie Seymour, Naomi Campbell, Eva Herzigova and Natalia Vodianova was, she says, a great honour.
Raised in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, Lindvall says modelling was never even a passing thought when she was growing up. It was after her father enrolled her in a modelling school for fun during the summer holidays when she was 13 that her life changed. ‘There were about 30 girls and we put on a fashion show for agents from New York,’ Lindvall says. IMG, the agency that still represents Lindvall, invited her to New York for test shoots. Her agent then sent her to Paris, where she was booked on jobs for W magazine and Italian Vogue. ‘I sacrificed the rest of my teenage years to work in the industry,’ she says. ‘But I saw it as an investment. I worked hard and it has paid off.’
These days she lives with her children, Dakota, seven, and Sebastian, four, in a house with seven acres of land in Topanga Canyon, LA. Neil Young lived there and performed at the Topanga Corral, a nightclub that also saw performances from Emmylou Harris and Etta James. Lindvall takes her dog wherever she likes and her children run around dressed as wizards. Despite working in one of the most glamorous and artificial industries, she seems to live rather a boho home life.
She is an ardent environmentalist. ‘It drives me crazy to think that when I run my kitchen taps it goes down the same drain as my septic,’ Lindvall says. ‘I am replumbing my house so that all waste water, apart from the toilet, goes straight into my garden.’ Her next investment will be solar panels. Eight years ago she established the Collage Foundation, which promotes environmentally conscious choices among young people. She is also fronting a project called Clean By Design – an initiative to make manufacturing facilities for the fashion industry in China more sustainable.
There is no doubt Lindvall could have sacrificed more to have a bigger modelling career. But she is not driven by fame. Last season, when she was the star of French Elle magazine’s fashion issue, she found it odd to see huge images of herself on the walls at the launch party. ‘I still think it’s weird to see images of myself manipulated into this fantasy. I can’t help but ask, “How did this happen?”’
