Naomi Campbell is one of the
top five supermodels in the industry today. She seems to have it all--she's a
world renowned supermodel, a budding actor, a talented singer, a gifted writer,
and an accomplished entrepreneur.
Born
in 1970, Naomi was raised in Streatham, South London, England. At age fifteen,
a New York modeling agent spotted her in London's Convent Garden, a park near
her school. From that tender age, she experienced an extraordinary rise to fame
after she appeared on the cover of British Elle. She moved to Paris and continued
to refine her supermodel image. Her unique mix of Jamaican and Chinese ancestry
and arresting looks placed her in high demand. In 1988, she became the very first
black woman to grace the covers of French Vogue, British Vogue and Time Magazine.
After moving to New York in 1989, she landed the cover of American Vogue. Two
years later, she appeared with Eva Herzigova in a GUESS? campaign, shot by famed
fashion photographer Ellen von Unwerth.
Every
major fashion magazine -- including the coveted Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue
--has featured Naomi Campbell. She has walked the catwalks for all the major designers.
Peter Lindbergh's book, 10 Women, Madonna's book, Sex, and the 1995 Pirelli Calendar,
all feature Naomi.
When
she's not working, Naomi divides her time between her homes in New York and Streatham.
She likes to spend her spare time with her friends, eating Italian food and attending
boxing matches.
