The Evolution of Naomi Campbell


Source: Vogue Brazil 

Will the real queen bee please stand up?! Competitors /bow down/ because I’m clearly referring to Naomi Campbell: conquistador of the runway and ~Queen of the world~. Since she broke onto the scene at the tender young age of five, the sassy south Londoner hasn’t taken designer knockoffs or “no’s” for an answer. We’ve watched her grow, watched her fall (hey to be fair they were nine-inch mock-crocodile skin platforms), and watched her reclaim her sanity with community service (also while wearing platform shoes). Her image has transformed from a shy, play-it-safer to a Beyoncé-Tina-Turner hybrid, with a minor pit stop as a criminal offender (x 7 …and counting). In honour of fashion’s favourite misbehaver, here is a look at the physical and mental evolution of the woman Nelson Mandela calls his honorary granddaughter.

90s Supermodels: Where Are They Now?


 

“We don’t wake up for less than $10,000 a day,” said Linda Evangelista in an interview with Vogue writer Jonathan Van Meter in 1990. Though the decade of Friends, Full House, and jelly shoes had only just begun, the five young starlets gracing the cover of British Vogue’s January issue were already among the highest paid women of their generation. They lip-synced to George Michael, had Barbies created in their likeness, and made photography greats like David Bailey cower at their very beauty. Before Cara, before Coco, and even before Karlie, a band of long-legged beauties ruled not only the runways, but also the world. If the pages of Vogue couldn’t even contain their larger than life personalities, more than two decades later, it’s only natural that we’re wondering Where Are They Now? read more…

HEADLINES: Kim Acts, Naomi Lies, and Halston is Gonna Give it Another Go.

Kim Kardashian made a sitcom appearance on Last Man Standing and she wasn’t half bad. I’m actually kind of impressed. This feels weird. (Too Fab)

Another Teen Mom couple bites the dust; Maci and Lurch have split. WUT? I’m starting to get the feeling that getting knocked up in high school won’t ensure a happily ever after? (US Weekly)

I just can’t get down with this ‘skirt over the over sized shirt’ look from Alexander Wang. Can you? (FabSugar)

Halston has nine lives. Let’s hope this one sticks. (Fashion Indie)

Vogue didn’t charge Madonna for the use of their logo in her halftime show. Figures. But charging $1,600 for a yearly subscription to their archive is totally kosher, right? (Styleite)

Iris Apfel is sharing her No. 1 style rule; “If your hair is done properly and you’re wearing good shoes, you can get away with anything.” This has got to be sound advice, I mean the woman is walking fossil; she’s seen A LOT of life. (Footwear News)

Naomi Campbell swears she would never refer to herself as a “Supermodel”. She insists she works hard for her figure, a tune quite different from her infamous quote in the 1999 Playboy, “I never diet. I smoke. I drink now and then. I never work out. I work very hard and I am worth every cent.” (People)
