Then
Naomi, a 49-year-old supermodel, has extreme success in different modeling campaigns. One great landing was the famous American Vogue of the September issue. Naomi was one of the “Big 6” dubbed best ’90s supermodels together with Cindy Crawford, Kate Moss, and others.
The late 1990s, the in-demand model, was still active with charity work and other modeling activities. Kate Moss, with other supermodels including Naomi Campbell, closed the Olympic Games in 2012.
Campbell celebrates her appearance as the first black model on the cover of French Vogue, Russian Vogue, and Time magazine. Not only the first black model but also as the first black British to feature on the British Vogue cover.
Now
I would describe Campbell as apparently ageless. My role model looks no different from how she looked 20 years back – yet she still models. Some of her recent engagements include Nelson Mandela’s Children Fund and hosting “The Face Show.”
Her other recent event was closing out of the “2019 Valentino” show. The stylish fundraiser saw one of the 90s supermodels Naomi take the catwalk. The event Relief Gala 2019 fashion, held at the British Museum with the most fashionable people in attendance.
To close the show, the South London born model led 30 pupils from Elmgreen School. The British Fashion Council Chair introduced Naomi at the gala auction after the runway show. Naomi said, “Many people think the fashion community is fickle, we are not.”
You must wonder, what’s her value? “I make a lot of money, and I’m worth every eat cent,” said Naomi. There you have it!
Christy Turlington
Then
The discovery of this supermodel was at a young age of 14 years. Four years later, her break-through was when she appeared in the “Duran Duran’s” music video. One of the original “Supers” was none other than Christy Turlington.
