“Recently I spent time in the American West,” says the supermodel (and the new face of Dolce & Gabbana beauty) Linda Evangelista. “The color palette there is amazing—the organic, natural, earthy, caramel tans and browns. They make me think of Edward S. Curtis’s portrait of a Native American medicine man—I love the texture of his skin and the angularity of his cheekbones and nose.”
