PEOPLE, Page 80The Eight Beauties
By MICHAEL QUINN
What's wrong with this picture? Plenty, according to
seven-eighths of the women in it. Not that high-fashion model
in the middle, Linda Evangelista, but the Sicilian seniors
arranged about her on a billboard overlooking Times Square.
Though the Kenar clothing ad memorializes AIDS victims
(represented by the empty chair), Evangelista's angry co-models
say the good deed was built on bad faith. The women of the
hillside village of Savoca say they were paid about $15 each to
pose with Evangelista (said to earn up to $25,000 a day), but
thought the photo would only battle a disease, not promote a
fashion label as well. The Savoca Seven are preparing a very
American response: a lawsuit.
