It’s not often you hear a 66-year-old style doyenne complain of having been over-enthusiastically retouched in photo shoots; neither is hearing a New Yorker happily admit they skipped partying at Studio 54 in lieu of stimulation of the intellectual kind, over dinner with Susan Sontag. Welcome to the rarefied world of Linda Rodin, the silver-haired former stylist and founder of the eponymous skincare line, captured in a short film by Albert Moya.

She may have styled everyone from Madonna to Gisele, edited Harper’s Bazaar, and founded the New York institution Linda Hopp, but her most treasured memories are working with a rather different icon. “My most wonderful moment was meeting and working with Bob Dylan, a real hero of mine,” says Rodin, who is enjoying a period of renaissance, back in front of the camera modelling for The Row and J.Crew, as well as gracing the pages of Vogue.

Rodin has lived in the same magpie’s den of an apartment in Chelsea for the past 35 years. In recent years she has acquired a roomie in the form of her miniature poodle, Winky. “I got him four years ago, and he’s the love of my life!” she quips. “He didn’t start out gray, he started out black, as did I, and we both got gray hair later in life.” As to what she attributes her return to the style spotlight to? “Young people think anybody over 30 is really old, so to see someone my age who wears the kind of clothes that aren’t akin to their grandmothers’, is pretty much revolutionary."
