Linda Evangelista

'Linda is the most versatile of models - which is amazing considering her striking bone structure... I wanted her to look like a 40s screen siren. So I left her hair soft and sculpted to flag up the Katharine Hepburn appeal'

Erin O'Connor

'Erin has the most unusually sexy look - she exudes aristocratic elegance and poise. This picture was inspired by a Modigliani portrait.

I kept the hair tight and slick to accentuate the high-art feel' .

Ellen Barkin
