The Naomi Campbell Look Book
Photo: Ron Galella
Landing the cover of British Elle at the age of 15, Naomi Campbell set a high bar for her career from the start. The British model would go on to achieve supermodel status, walking in shows from Azzedine Alaïa to Oscar de la Renta, then becoming a personal favorite of Gianni Versace’s. Making up one third of “the Trinity” with fellow supes Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell was in high demand in the early nineties for her dramatic look, even despite her dramatic temperament. Never one for subtlety, the model often opts for sheer dresses, thigh-skimming skirts, and low necklines on the red carpet. Even now, as you’ll see when you look back at her style evolution in our slideshow below.
