Campbell is also involved in charitable causes.
Early life
Naomi Elaine Campbell was born in Lambeth, South London, to Jamaican-born dancer Valerie Morris on May 22, 1970. Campbell never met her father, who abandoned her mother when she was four months pregnant and went unidentified on her birth certificate, in accordance with her mother's wishes. She adopted the surname "Campbell" from her mother's second marriage. Pierre, her half-brother, was born in 1985. Campbell is of Afro-Jamaican descent, as well as Chinese-Jamaican ancestry through her paternal grandmother, whose surname was Ming.
Campbell spent her formative years in Rome, Italy, where her mother worked as a modern dancer. On her return to London, she travelled with relatives while her mother traveled around Europe with the dance troupe Fantastica. Campbell attended the Barbara Speake Stage School from the age of three, and at ten, she was accepted into the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts, where she studied ballet. She also attended Dunraven School.
Personal life
Campbell has never met her biological father. Azzedine Alaya, a French-based Tunisian fashion designer, who she met at 16, is her "papa." Quincy Jones and Chris Blackwell, two well-known music creators, have also esteem for adopted father figures. Nelson Mandela, the former South African president, referred to Campbell as his "honorary granddaughter." Mandela was first introduced in November 1994 by her party, the African National Congress, urged her to visit South Africa to speak with their leader. She had donated the proceeds from a photo shoot in Tanzania to the ANC in the past. Campbell has contributed to many of Mandela's political campaigns and humanitarian causes over the years.
She first became engaged to U2 bassist Adam Clayton in 1993. When asked in an interview if there was anything in the world he wanted but didn't have, they met in February of this year. Naomi Campbell, who went to the hospital, answered, "A date with Naomi Campbell." Campbell and Clayton were divorced the following year. In 1995, she dated Leonardo DiCaprio. She was in a relationship with Formula One racing head Flavio Briatore from 1998 to 2003; she became engaged to him before breaking off the friendship. Campbell now thinks Briatore is her "mentor." She was in a relationship with Russian businessman Vladislav Doronin from 2008 to 2013. She also had connections with Robert De Niro, Hassan Jameel, Sean "Diddy" Combs, and Usher. Skepta was her dated in 2019.
Campbell appears in the suspected contact book and flight logs of late American financier and convicted child killer Jeffrey Epstein, as well as photographs of him and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. Campbell spoke about her relationship on her YouTube channel in August 2019, acknowledging that she learned what he did after being introduced to him by ex-boyfriend Flavio Briatore, "it sickened me to my stomach," she said, "and thank God that I had a fair number of sexual predators around to keep me safe." I identify with the victims. They're afraid of life. "For life" is the word used to describe it. Campbell's allegations have been disregarded by Epstein survivor Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who claims Campbell was aware and a close friend of Maxwell.
She announced the birth of her daughter in May 2021. Campbell revealed to Vogue magazine in February 2022 that her daughter was not adopted, posing with her child for a photoshoot.
Campbell recovered after a five-year cocaine heroin use and alcohol use in 1999. Campbell said in 2005 that she was having fun when she first used the drug for the first time in 1994. I was travelling the world and having people literally give you everything. [But] the little glow in your face goes...It's a very bad drug."
Campbell won a lawsuit against the Daily Mirror in 2002 after the newspaper published a story about her heroin use, which included a snapshot of her leaving a Narcotics Anonymous meeting. The High Court ordered that the Daily Mirror have been sued for £3,500. The court of Appeal overturned Campbell's $350,000 court fines in 2004, but the House of Lords restored the High Court's decision and damages in 2004. Campbell claimed in her YouTube video in July 2019 that she had stopped smoking.
Career
Campbell made her first public appearance in Bob Marley's "Is This Love" in 1978 at the age of 8. In 1983, she tap-danced in "I'll Tumble 4 Ya" and "Mistake number 3," as part of Culture Club's "Mistake number 3." She had studied dance from age 3 to 16, and had aspired to be a dancer. Campbell was scouted by Beth Boldt, head of the Synchro Model Agency in 1986 while window-shopping in Covent Garden while still a student of the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts. Her career took off in April, just before her 16th birthday, she appeared on British Elle's front page.
Campbell's career grew steadily over the next two years: she walked the catwalk for Gianni Versace, Azzedine Alazrahi, and Isaac Mizrahi, and she photographed for photographers such as Peter Lindbergh, Herb Ritts, and Bruce Weber. Campbell, together with Christy Turlington and Linda Evangelista, formed the "Trinity" group, which became the most recognisable and in-demand models of their generation by the late 1980s.
Campbell embraced racial discrimination as she faced her white neighbors; she later told Dolce and Evangelista, "If you don't use Naomi, you don't get us." She appeared on British Vogue's cover in December 1987 as the magazine's first black cover girl since 1966. After designer Yves St. Laurent's warning not to include Naomi on the front page, she became the first black model to appear on French Vogue's cover in August 1988. She appeared on the front of American Vogue the first time a black model graced the front page of the year's most significant topic.
Campbell, who had been dubbed "the reigning megamodel of them all" by interview, appeared on a cover of British Vogue shot by Peter Lindbergh in January 1990. The group was then cast in George Michael's "Freedom" music video. "90" is the word that comes to mind. Campbell, Turlington, Evangelista, Crawford, and Claudia Schiffer developed an elite group of models dubbed "supermodels" by the fashion industry by this time. The "Big Six" were added to the group after Kate Moss, a newcomer, was introduced.
Campbell walked the streets of Versace in March 1991, a defining moment of the so-called supermodel era, arm-in-arm and lip-synching the word to "freedom!" The 1990s.' In Michael Jackson's love interest in "In the Closet"'s music video later this year, she appeared as her mother's love interest. In April 1992, she posed with many other top models for American Vogue's hundredth-anniversary cover, shot by Patrick Demarchelier. In a series of nude photos with Madonna and rapper Big Daddy Kane in the same year, she appeared in Madonna's controversial book Sex.
Campbell appeared on American Vogue in 1993; she and Christy Turlington, Claudia Schiffer, Stephanie Seymour and Helena Christensen appeared on the front pages, then again in June alone; She also fell on the Vivienne Westwood 1993 Fall catwalk in foot-high platform shoes, which were later on display at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Despite her success, Elite Model Management, which had served Campbell since 1987, fired her in September on the grounds that "no amount of money or fame could further justify the mistreatment" to employees and customers.
Campbell also ventured into other segments of the entertainment industry in the mid-1990s. Swan, a book about a supermodel struggling with blackmail, was published in 1994 to poor reviews. It was ghostwritten by Caroline Upcher, with Campbell stating that she "just didn't have the time to sit down and write a book." It was also the year she released Baby Girl, which was named after designer Rifat Ozbek's nickname for Campbell. Youth and Tim Simenon's album was only well-received in Japan; it didn't make it to the top 75 on the UK charts, while the album's sole, "Love and Tears," debuted No. 10. 40. Critics mocked Baby Women, sparking the Naomi Awards for horrible pop music. Campbell appeared in Miami Rhapsody and Spike Lee's Girl 6, as well as a reprise appearance on the second season of New York Undercover.
Campbell, along with fellow model Schiffer, Turlington, and Elle Macpherson, invested in the Fashion Cafe, whose owners were arrested three years later for fraud, bankruptcy, and money laundering.
Time declared the end of the supermodel age in 1998. Campbell continued modelling, both on the runway and, more often, on paper. She began her cosmetics career with Cosmopolitan Cosmetics, a Wella subsidiary, in 1999, where she introduced several signature fragrances. In November of that year, she posed with 12 other top models on the "Modern Muses" cover of American Vogue's Millennium Issue, shot by Annie Leibovitz. On the cover of Playboy, she appeared in a white string bikini and furs for the next month. "Naomi and Puff Duo" was a television show by rapper Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs on the front cover of British Vogue in October 2001.
She walked the catwalk at Versailles in 2007 for Dior's 60th-anniversary fashion show. Liya Kebede, Sessilee Lopez, and Jourdan Dunn were among the black models on the gatefold cover of a historic all-black issue of Italian Vogue, shot by Steven Meisel in July 2008. Campbell and Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer, and Stephanie Seymour reunited with Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer, and Stephanie Seymour for "A League of Their Own," a Vanity Fair feature on the supermodel legacy, in September of that year.
Campbell appeared on the front page of Essence's 40th-anniversary issue in 2011. Liya Kebede and Iman appeared alongside him in 2011. In Duran Duran frontman Simon Le Bon's band's music video for "Girl Panic," she appeared also. "They appear in the November issue of British Harper's Bazaar in an essay titled "The Supers vs. Duran Duran Duran," with Cindy Crawford, Helena Christensen, Eva Herzigova, and Yasmin Le Bon portraying the other band members. In the 2012 Olympic Games' closing ceremony, Campbell performed with Kate Moss and other models, where they modelled haute couture to represent British fashion. Campbell wore Alexander McQueen's staggered hem gown with a train speckled with flecks of gold.
