The beauty entrepreneur and style icon Linda Rodin has had a rich career in fashion. Starting off as model in Rome in the 60’s, she turned to fashion photography and then started her path as a stylist, with clients such as Madonna and Gisele Bündchen. Some years ago, Linda found a special interest in oils when she couldn’t find beauty products that she found satisfactory on the market. She started mixing oils she could find from health food stores in a coffee cup at home. It was the start of her beauty brand RODIN olio lusso which today is a world wide success. We asked a few questions to the graceful Linda about her style and on how she makes it last.
