Linda Evangelista poses for the Interview Russia September 2012 issue in a quirky and chic spread. Photographers Daniele and Iango have captured the classic supermodel in [gray-scale photos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25) wearing over-sized tartan pants, blazers, power suits and trench coats all styled by Patti Wilson.

These pieces were inspired by the Ray Petri's [Buffalo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fall-2025-collection) menswear style, and they include sporty pieces from Giorgio Armani, Prada, Calvin Klein and Thom Browne. The hair stylist Luigi Murenu has added to the boyish look by cutting Linda's hair into an ultra-sleek short bob.

This striking and fun cover has a pop culture style with red accents. Here we see Linda reveal her versatility to be a fashion chameleon, and she never fails to impress.
