Naomi: In Fashion (the Official V&A Exhibition Book)

Naomi Campbell is a phenomenon. Still very much at the top of her game after nearly four decades in the fashion industry, news of her trailblazing work, both on and off the catwalk, continues to hit the front pages as she pushes the boundaries of the fashion world. Inspiring, creative, energetic and most definitely iconic, Campbell stands apart as a unique force. Opening with a specially commissioned interview by Tim Blanks, this book showcases 25 of the most eloquent ensembles from across her career, personally selected and discussed by Campbell herself. It also explores the different facets of her success – from her work as a model, a muse and brand builder, to life beyond the catwalk as a cultural leader with her unerring support of emerging designers. With spectacular looks from Azzedine Alaïa, Gianni Versace, Chanel, Alexander McQueen and Kenneth Ize – to name but a few – this is an exclusive look into the world of one of fashion’s most talented and enduring personalities.
