Controversial and much admired artist Maurizio Cattelan collaborates with one of our favorite fashion magazines, W for their November’s “The Art Issue”. The result is a beyond surreal editorial starring legendary supermodel, icon and muse to many, Linda Evangelista.
Photographed by PierPaolo Ferrari and styled by Camilla Nickerson, together with Linda and Cattelan, conceived a politically and religiously charged fantastic editorial, causing you to contemplate many of the society-reflecting images. The images are bound to raise eyebrows, cause some scrutiny and stir controversy, the way W always wants it to be.
Linda Evangelista is wearing Chanel, Dior Haute Couture, Marc Jacobs, Yves Saint Laurent, Versace, Givenchy, Valentino Haute Couture, Rena Lange, Carolina Herrera. Also featured are a fur coat by Dennis Basso and with our special admiration: SQUA.RE member Ellen Christine Millinery‘s headpiece with veil.
Jewelry is by De Beers, Harry Winston, Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Pomellato, Faraone Mennella, Doyle & Doyle and Fred Leighton.

I love every photo. Maurizio Cattelan's work is spectacular and the legendary Linda Evangelista is always captivating.
