Meet Our Model Crush On Wednesday - Naomi Campbell


Our Female Model Crush On Wednesday (MCW) - Supermodel Naomi Campbell 

Naomi Elaine Campbell, born 22 May 1970 (47yrs) is an English model, actress and singer who is of Afro - Jamaican descent.

Campbell's first public appearance came at the age of seven, when she was featured in Bob Marley's music video " Is This Love" in 1978. At the age of twelve,  she tap-danced in the music video for Culture Club 's " I'll Tumble 4 Ya ". She got Recruited at the age of fifteen by Beth Boldt,  head of Synchro Model Agency  while she was still a student of the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts in 1986.  Her career quickly took off—in April, just before her 16th birthday she appeared on the cover of British Elle.


Within the next few years that followed, Campbell's career progressed steadily: she walked the catwalk for famous designers such as Gianni Versace, Azzedine Alaïa and Isaac Mizrahi, and posed for such photographers as such as Peter Lindbergh, Herb Ritts and Bruce Weber. By the late 1980s, Campbell, with Christy Turlington and Linda Evangelista, formed a trio known as the "Trinity", who became the most recognisable and in-demand models of their generation.



During the era of racism which affected Campbell's career, the supermodel received support from her white friends. In December 1987, she appeared on the cover of British Vogue, as that publication's first black cover girl since 1966. In August 1988, she became the first black model to appear on the cover of French Vogue,  after her friend and mentor, designer Yves St. Laurent, threatened to withdraw his advertising from the magazine if it continued to refuse to place black models on its cover. The following year, she appeared on the cover of American
Vogue , which marked the first time a black model graced the front of the September magazine, traditionally the year's biggest and most important issue.


Campbell was one of six models of her generation declared supermodels by the fashion industry. The supermodel has featured in lots of Tv shows, Documentaries, Music videos and Movies such as the Fox Empire Tv series.
