If you've never read Naomi Campbell's autobiography (appropriately titled Naomi), then it's also possible you haven't experienced real joy. It's positively brimming with sass, quips, and even a delightful infographic or two. Also, you will learn so much about Naomi! Did you know, for instance, that:
-
She corresponds with Iman by fax, the most glamorous form of semi-telephonic exchange.
-
She enjoys milk and its many health benefits.
-
Peter Lindbergh's iconic Gauguin-inspired Harper's shoot was actually Naomi's idea.
-
The first person Naomi calls when something happens? Her mum.
-
She has a doll of herself, and that doll is wearing a peplum.
-
“Just thinking about keeping up with her' exhausts Christy Turlington. From this, we can only deduce that Naomi is She-Ra (Princess of Power).
-
She lists her phone number as “Not Applicable'.
-
Underwear and microphones are her sworn enemies.
-
She generates a powerful force field. Isaac Mizrahi says that “The landscape gravitates to her, trees gravitate to her.” So maybe don't wear magnetic jewelry around her.
-
She's “in charge of everything except her heart.” according to Bono. #YouJustGotU2'd
Besides being full of quotes from fabulous people (Quincy Jones wrote the intro!), Naomi also pulls an entire portfolio's worth of outstanding work—Meisel, von Unwerth, Ritts, Klein—everybody's there. It's a '90s supermodel photo party...and you're (kinda) invited.
