This is a good piece on Linda Evangelista, who is still with us and only 58. That may be not old for most of us, but it is old for a fashion model. Or is it? Edward Enninful, who is stepping down as editor in chief of British Vogue, put together this last cover for the magazine (shown above), and it has dozens of great models of all ages, including Evangelista.
