Just a handful of girls can give face like Naomi Campbell. That is the reason why she has been in the industry for so long even she is 41 now (past the model standard's "prime"). This month she is bald, glossy and fierce as ever on the cover of Soon International shot by Seb Janiak.
Featuring Naomi Campell in this mute film, Nick Knight chooses to tackle the outright taboo subject of racism in the fashion industry. Despite increasing diversity throughout contemporary society, is is undoubtedly true that black or asian or middle easten models feature in fashion far less than their white counterpoints. Nick's film not only questions this, but as a fashion 'insider' takes the industry to task over one of the last arenas where racism is apparently a tacitly-accepted fact of life. A very powerful film.
That was the wedding of the year and was the moment the fashion world had been waiting for...
The shots, seen in American Vogue magazine‘s September issue, provide an intimate insight into the July 1 nuptials and Mario Testino, a close friend of Kate’s, has created some of the most beautiful pictures ever seen of the supermodel on her very special day.
The model has revealed that it was in fact the TV documentary My Big Fat Gypsy wedding that made her and Kills rocker Jamie realise that they should tie the know.
She told Vogue: ‘I am so romantic about Gypsies. They’re not allowed to do anything until they get married. So they all get married really young, at sixteen. You can’t believe the dresses. They’re like blinging butterflies times ten; they can’t move down the aisle! It’s so genius.
‘I was just watching Jamie, so cute, and I was like, these girls, they just spend their whole life waiting for that day—let’s do it!’
By the way, I am so proud of her loyalty when deciding on the most important thing of the wedding: the wedding dress. Ahead of the wedding she told Vogue she wanted: ‘A classic Galliano, those chiffon thirties kind. I’ve lived in his dresses for years, and they just make me feel so comfortable. But it’s so much more couture, couture, couture. Oh, my God, the work that’s going into the dress!’
Kate’s father, thanked the designer for his work on the dress during his speech ‘John’s eyes well up’ as he received a standing ovation.
Last interesting thing: the photo of Naomi Campell is in black and white because she was wearing a flurry of lemon-yellow Givenchy gauze - “Trying to upstage me, bitch?” says Kate, laughing.
And i think Kate 76 (official wedding drink) will be my drink for the weekend. Cheers!!
This is a very interesting Givenchy Fall / Winter 2011-2012 Ad Campaign, photographed by the duo Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott! The duo captured Naomi's fierce and ferocious glamour while she released her inner panther. Naomi is stunning even she now is 41 years old and she continues to inspire us with their striking beauty and charisma! She is clearly one of the world’s most beautiful women!
The ads also feature Jonathan Marquez, Rob Evans, Natalia Vodianova, Kristen McMenamy, and Mariacarla Boscono.
Here is an exclusive video showing behind-the-scenes.
