Super model Naomi Campbell dressed up in the most exquisitely embellished pieces during a photo shoot for the July issue of W magazine.
As styled by Giovanna Battaglia, and photographed by Emma Summerton, she was photographed in designs by Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu, Prada, Marc Jacobs, Dolce & Gabbana, Etro and Mary Katrantzou.After 27 years of vamping on catwalks and posing for cameras, Naomi Campbell, 42, has some advice to impart to young models: “Whatever you do, do it 110 percent,” she says, sounding unnervingly stern. “That’s what my mother taught me, and it’s what I’ve always believed in.” Such words of wisdom are but a teaser for her new show The Face, a model-competition series airing next year on the Oxygen network. Campbell (whose early television appearances included a role on The Cosby Show in 1988) will star as a mentor—responsible for “nurturing” contestants. The supermodel-turned-celebrity is close enough with Nelson Mandela to call him “granddad,” but she’s not above doing, and watching, reality TV. “I love the Real Housewives—all of them,” she effuses. “Of course, I would never expose myself in that way,” adds Campbell, who now resides in Moscow with her billionaire boyfriend, Vladislav Doronin, and would make a spectacular Russian Housewife, if there ever were one. “But I’m happy to share my experiences.”
