    Naomi Campbell, Helena Christensen and Linda Evangelista were quick to rally around Christy Turlington this week, when she revealed she was now an empty-nester. 

    “I am officially an “empty nester” today! How do I feel about it? Ask me in three months, after my baby has moved out of our home and settled into his college dorm across the country,” Christy captioned her post which showed her son Finn, 18, posing in his graduation gown and hugging his sister Grace, 20; Christy and husband Edward Burns flanked them on the outside. 

    “For now, I just want to share how grateful I am. Grateful that me and my child have reached this milestone,” she continued. “Every day is a gift, especially when in good health and when we feel safe and well supported. I know by now that life and our experiences are fleeting and that what’s truly important is to make meaningful connections in this lifetime. 

    “I want to thank all those who have loved and supported my kid along this wondrous journey so far. You all made it more fun and rewarding every step of the way.”

    Christy, one of the original supermodels, concluded: “So, here is to whatever is outside of the nest and to embracing as much of it as we possibly can for as long as we can from here. Congratulations, Finn & LREI Class of ‘24! We are proud to know you and to claim you as one of ours.” 

    “Congratulations on keeping those babies alive until they can fly!” commented ‘Paulina Porizkov, while Helena quipped: “He’ll be back in no time when the dorm gets iffy.”

    Naomi added: “Finn , happy Graduation!!! So PROUD OF YOU !!! Son of my #BFF @cturlington,” and Linda congratulated the family on “this milestone”.

    Christy dominated the late 80s and early 90s as one of the original supermodels, alongside Naomi, Linda, Helena, Claudia Schiffer and Cindy Crawford.

    Christy’s daughter Grace, born October 23, 2003, has followed in her mother’s footsteps down the runway. Grace made her runway debut in June 2023 at the British Vogue X LuisaViaRoma show in Italy. The mother-daughter duo also appeared in a Carolina Herrera campaign together.

    Finn has kept himself away from the spotlight; he played basketball in high school. 

    On his 18th birthday, Christy shared a sweet tribute, writing: “Happy Birthday to my ‘Angelito Lindo!’ You have brought nothing but warmth and sunshine into our lives since the snowy mid winter day of your arrival 18 years ago today.”

  • Linda Evangelista Views Her Breast Cancer Scars as “Trophies”

    Linda Evangelista Views Her Breast Cancer Scars as “Trophies”

    To commemorate the company’s milestone, Phaidon is opening their archives for a special exhibition to showcase more than 150 books from some of the most inspired work of artists who have changed culture. Open to the general public until September 18 at Christie’s New York, the “100 Years of Creativity: A Century of Bookmaking at Phaidon” exhibition will have on display rare and out-of-print books such as the 1950 first edition of The Story of Art by E. H. Gombrich and a 1936 Vincent van Gogh monograph. Other works on view include books featuring Annie Leibovitz, Grace Coddington, Kate Moss, and an oversized edition of the 2019 visual autobiography of Rihanna that is cradled in a bookstand sculpture plated in 18-carat gold.

    Guests can also get a sneak peek at designer Thom Browne’s new self-titled book at the exhibition before it’s released on October 25. The comprehensive monograph commemorates the 20th anniversary of Browne starting his company and is the very first book on the highly lauded designer, who modernized the menswear suit by shrinking the proportions. The book will feature looks from past seasons, specially commissioned photography by Johnny Dufort, and an introduction by Andrew Bolton, who is the curator in charge of the Costume Institute at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and also Browne’s longtime partner.

    “The book is meaningful because I got to work with Andrew on it,” said Browne, who was with Bolton at the Phaidon party. “It’s been 20 years and I think it was time for me to look back and look at all the work, and to have somebody like Andrew, who I think is the best curator in the world, be able to look at my work and see what the important moments were and having his way of putting words together and telling the story in the most intelligent way made this book so special. He deserves all the credit for the book. I really relied on Andrew for the whole thing.”

    The designer launched his business in 2003 with five gray suits in a made-to-measure shop in New York City’s West Village, creating a tailored uniform. He has since expanded into men’s, women’s and children’s ready-to-wear collections and is now considered one of America’s most successful designers of luxury fashion. Having accomplished so much, what does he hope his legacy will be now?

    “Honestly, for being true to yourself and following what you want,” said Browne, who is the current chairman of the Council of Fashion Designers of America. “I mean for 5 to 10 years, nobody liked what I was doing, so it was staying true to what I knew I loved, which wasn’t hard for me, but it was hard in the reality of keeping the business going. I loved it more than anyone else and I stayed true to myself.”

  • Linda Evangelista Battled Breast Cancer Twice in the Last 5 Years

    Linda Evangelista Battled Breast Cancer Twice in the Last 5 Years

    [ad_1]

    Linda Evangelista used to be everywhere, as one of the original supermodels. She dominated the catwalks and covers of magazines before suddenly exiting the spotlight without explanation. In 2021, she emerged and revealed that CoolSculpting side effects gone awry had left her, in her words, “permanently disfigured,” leading her to hide herself away from the spotlight for a time. Not anymore: She’s at the center of the upcoming The Super Models docuseries and was on the September cover of Vogue. It wasn’t just the CoolSculpting that had her laying low: Now, she’s revealed in a new interview with WSJ. Magazine that she has fought breast cancer two times within the last five years.

    “I’ve kept it quiet,” she said of her cancer diagnoses. “Only a handful of people knew. And I’m just not one of those people who has to share everything,” she said. “I thought to myself, I will share this one day but while I am going through it, absolutely not. I don’t want the Daily Mail waiting outside my door like they do every time something happens. ‘Linda seen for the first time since blah blah blah.’”

    The first diagnosis came in December 2018 after a routine mammogram.

    “The margins were not good,” she said of the diagnosis. “And due to other health factors, without hesitation, because I wanted to put everything behind me and not to have to deal with this, I opted for a bilateral mastectomy. Thinking I was good and set for life. Breast cancer was not going to kill me.”

    And it hasn’t, though that remission didn’t last. Last July, after feeling a lump on her chest, an MRI found cancer in her pectoral muscle.

    “Dig a hole in my chest,” she remembered telling surgeons. “I don’t want it to look pretty. I want you to excavate. I want to see a hole in my chest when you’re done. Do you understand me? I’m not dying from this.” She calls her course of action “just do what you’ve got to do and get through it. And that’s what I did.”

    She’s been hiding in plain sight, she said, like when she wore an enormous opera cape walking for Fendi in September 2022.

    “Like, ‘What’s she hiding under that dress?’” she recalled seeing online. “If they only knew—my [post-surgical] drainage tubes had just been pulled.”

    She’s cancer-free once more, but knows that there’s no guarantee her cancer journey is over.

    “I know I have one foot in the grave,” she said, “but I’m totally in celebration mode.”

    The revelation also gives a little more context to last month’s Vogue interview, in which Evangelista gushed about Salma Hayek, who is now married to François-Henri Pinault, with whom Evanglista has a 16-year-old son. She described their blended family and said that she spends most holidays with them, with Hayek even flying to make Evangelista truffled potatoes at Thanksgiving when Evangelista was sick. To WSJ., she said of Hayek, “I love that woman. She’s a woman’s woman. Just like me, [she’s] so family-oriented, and so positive. She’s a blessing to us…. She was very, very generous and kind to me while I was going through my chemo.”

    As the year comes to a close, it’s time to look back on the most memorable ad campaigns from our favorite brands. 

    Many looked to their regular muses and ambassadors (see: Harry and Gucci, Kristen and Chanel, Rosé and Saint Laurent). Others opted for more headline-making surprise appearances: Linda Evangelista made her return to modeling for the 25th anniversary of the famed Fendi Baguette, while Winona Ryder reunited with Marc Jacobs 21 years after she was arrested for shoplifting the brand (just to name a couple of the instantly iconic moments).
