Naomi Campbell is one of the top five supermodels in
the industry today. She seems to have it all--she's
a world renowned supermodel, a budding actor, a talented
singer, a gifted writer, and an accomplished entrepreneur.
Born in 1970, Naomi was raised in Streatham, South
London, England. As a girl, she enrolled in the prestigious
British art school, Italia Conti, to study classical
dance. At age fifteen, a New York modeling agent spotted
her in London's Convent Garden, a park near her school.
From that tender age, she experienced an extraordinary
rise to fame after she appeared on the cover of British
Elle. She moved to Paris and continued to refine her
supermodel image. Her unique mix of Jamaican and Chinese
ancestry and arresting looks placed her in high demand.
In 1988, she became the very first black woman to grace
the covers of French Vogue, British Vogue and Time Magazine.
After moving to New York in 1989, she landed the cover
of American Vogue. Two years later, she appeared with
Eva Herzigova in a GUESS? campaign, shot by famed fashion
photographer Ellen von Unwerth.
Every major fashion magazine -- including the coveted
Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue--has featured Naomi
Campbell. She has walked the catwalks for all the major
designers. Peter Lindbergh's book, 10 Women, Madonna's
book, Sex, and the 1995 Pirelli Calendar, all feature
Naomi. She co-wrote a book, Swan (a thriller about five
models and their travels around the world) and has her
own fashion book, titled Naomi.
As a child, she made her film debut in the movie Quest
for Fire. Other film appearances include Cool As Ice,
Miami Rhapsody, Spike Lee's Girl 6, and Invasion of
Privacy. On television, she made a guest appearance
on The Cosby Show and has appeared in music videos for
George Michael, Michael Jackson, and Aretha Franklin.
She appeared in television commercials for Baked Lay's
potato chips with fellow models, Kathy Ireland and Vendela.
Naomi also has a toy doll made in her likeness.
Recently, Naomi made her singing debut with a CD on
Epic records called Babywoman, which was released overseas.
The single from the album, a duet with Toshi Kubota
called "La-La-La Love Song," hit #1 on the
Japanese charts two weeks after its release.
When she's not working, Naomi divides her time between
her homes in New York and Streatham. She likes to spend
her spare time with her friends, eating Italian food
and attending boxing matches.
