Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan curates iconic Canadian Supermodel Linda Evangelista in the W Magazine ‘Art Issue’. Cattelan is known for his inflammatory, hyper-realistic religious-themed sculptures and images. W commissioned a portfolio from him in which Evangelista is a more than willing participant.
The editorial appears in W’s November 2009 ‘Art Issue’ and was photographed by Pierpaolo Ferrari and styled by Camilla Nickerson. Evangelista is both subversive and salacious while posing in garments from Rena Lange, Marc Jacobs, Versace, Valentino Haute Couture and Chanel.
