Naomi Campbell

Naomi Campbell is an English supermodel, actress, and fashion icon. Her influence in the fashion industry is marked by several firsts, including being the first black woman to appear on the covers of Time and Vogue France. Campbell not only graced the catwalks for top fashion brands such as Marc Jacobs, Chanel, and Versace but also made her mark in the entertainment industry. She released an R&B studio album, appeared in films like "Miami Rhapsody" and "Girl 6," and had a recurring role in the Fox drama "Empire." Campbell's entrepreneurial spirit shone through when she started her own web series on YouTube, "No Filter with Naomi," in 2020.

In addition to her illustrious career in modeling and entertainment, Campbell has been recognized for her charitable work. She founded "Fashion for Relief," a charity that organizes fundraising fashion shows for various causes, including the Haiti earthquake and the Syrian refugee crisis.

Campbell supports several other charitable causes, including the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund and Breakthrough Breast Cancer. Her commitment to social causes extends beyond charity work; in 2021, she signed an open letter decrying Ghana's stance on gay rights and also wrote an open letter condemning racial attacks on black players for the England national football team. Campbell has been recognized for her contributions to charity, receiving awards such as the "Outstanding Contribution" award from British Elle.

Despite her successes, Campbell's career has not been without controversy. She has been convicted of assault on multiple occasions and has publicly acknowledged her struggles with addiction. In 2018, Campbell received the Fashion Icon award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America, and in 2019, she landed the first beauty contract of her career with NARS Cosmetics. Campbell continues to be a dominant force in the fashion industry, receiving an honorary doctorate in 2022 for her impact on global fashion and debuting a collaboration with PrettyLittleThing during New York Fashion Week in 2023.
