LINDA STEADMAN

THE MODEL, DESIGNER AND AUTHOR RETURNS TO HER ROOTS FOR HER MAXIM NZ COVER DEBUT...

- SANTI PINTADO

Tell us a bit about your shoot, Linda.

It was shot in Dunedin, New Zealand in an old mansion. We found a secret door that lead to a secret room. This was a very magical location. I've always been very drawn to New Zealand because of my heritage.

Well, you look gorgeous. When do you feel sexy?

I feel my sexiest first thing in the morning, without make-up, bed hair and all.

What is your best asset?

Physically, I think it’s my legs. However, I also think my best asset is my compassion and my non-judgmental attitude.

For those who don't know much about you, Give us a little more background about yourself and your life story so far.

I grew up obsessed with the fashion industry and since I was young I have always wanted to do something in fashion. I started designing clothes at eight years old and became a model at 16. Now I’m living in Los Angeles and going to school at UCLA, hoping to get a job as a booker at an agency or maybe own or franchise one.
