Naomi Campbell’s life and career will be on display via an upcoming exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London
The 53-year-old supermodel’s groundbreaking career will be explored via a new exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Titled Naomi, the display is a “first of its kind” presentation that highlights Campbell’s “creative collaborations, activism and far-reaching cultural impact” through clothes, per the museum’s website.
Stanfill added, “We are very much working with her to foreground her voice and her perspective. I think what has come through those conversations is that this isn’t really a retrospective, as although it’s looking back 40 years, she is still so active — she’s in ad campaigns, a coveted presence on the front row, and is regularly walking on the runway.”
“I would put my hands out many times on New York City streets, and the taxis would fly by,” Campbell shared. “Then Christy would put out the hand and they would stop. The guy would be like, ‘I don’t want to go to Brooklyn,’ and I’m like, ‘I’m not going to Brooklyn.’ I was just like, why is he saying that? It didn’t strike me until, you know, Christy would have to stand out in front of me, get me a taxi to get it to work.
