By Rose de Paulsen,
Supermodel Ève Salvail is a world renowned Canadian model, artist, designer, and disc jockey. Jean Paul Gaultier helped bring the model into the mainstream. Her unique look and punk attitude made it impossible not to be mesmerized. She worked with the likes of Moschino, Karl Lagerfeld, and Versace. Salvail is also known as DJ Evalicious, and has found passion in becoming a celebrity DJ (a successful one at that). Not to mention she has acted in blockbusters in the past like The Fifth Element (1991) and Ready-to-Wear (1994). She is artistic in every sense, from music to visual arts, to spoken words. In 2020, she released her memoir Sois toi et t’es belle detailing her life as a non-conforming Queer model. Right now, you can find her leather jackets through Pascal Labelle. Salvail continues to break expectations and be beautiful outside the box.
