NAOMI CAMPBELL
A fixture of the 90s supermodel craze, Naomi Campbell has been a fashion queen for over 15 years. The hot-headed and gorgeous model is a Brit, but comes from Jamaican and Chinese descent. She started her career when she was only seven years old as an extra in Bob Marley's video for Is this Love? She then was cast in Culture Club's I'll Tumble 4 Ya. Her video career didn't stop there. She starred in George Michael's music video Freedom! '90, where she lip-synched to his song along with fellow supermodels Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford and Tatjana Patitz.
As a model, she's done work for Ralph Lauren, Lee Jeans, The Olympus Corp., Francois Nars, among many others. She was also the first black model to appear on the cover of Vogue Paris and Vogue UK.
She's known to be a "diva" having had several complaints lodged against her for beating people with blackberries and assaulting a police officer in Heathrow, which got her banned from British Airways for life . We just love her for her mean sense of style.
