Karen Walker Eyewear supermodel Linda Rodin, 65, is a stylist turned beauty guru. She is the creator of RODIN olio lusso, a line of luxury oils for face, hair and body.

After several years of modeling in Italy, Linda returned to New York City in the seventies to run a successful directional SoHo boutique, had stints as a stylist at Henri Bendel and then as a fashion editor at Harper’s Bazaar. Eventually, she became a freelance stylist working with everyone from Madonna to Halle Berry.

Despite access to ultra-exclusive skincare lines in this heady milieu, Rodin became disillusioned with their anti-aging claims and complicated regimens.

“What I longed for was something far simpler—products for the here-and-now, that caress the skin noticeably and without any delay. Nothing out there did quite that.” So she brought her style smarts, her instinct for beauty, and her demand for perfection to the skincare arena. After experimenting with essential oils in her kitchen for nearly two years, Rodin put the finishing touches on her first dream elixir, the original RODIN olio lusso face oil, in 2007. (The name—which translates as luxury oil —is in honor of the easygoing Italian beauty that has long inspired Linda’s own style).

The models and makeup artists she worked with tried and loved it, and soon RODIN olio lusso was selling to a cult following at a few select stores.
