I don’t blame Naomi for wearing fur, it is really fabulous and chic.
But she must have forgotten that 15 years ago she was a staunch supporter of the anti-fur in fashion movement and claimed she would ‘rather go naked than wear fur’.
And now she appears wearing a Dolce&Gabbana coat from their 2009 autumn collection.The coat looks beautiful with huge puff sleeves and jewelled buttons.
Naomi arrived to the premiere of Valentino: The Last Emperor in Milan last night with her billionaire boyfriend Vladislav Doronin. The couple happily posed in front of cameras.
The supermodel used to be a spokeswoman for PETA and once appeared naked in a high-profile poster campaign with four other models in 1994.
But later she was sacked by the charity after wearing real Russian sable fur at a Fendi catwalk show. Her new appearance made people sigh in distress and she even was called a hypocrite by Sir Paul McCartney’s ex-wife Heather Mills who is a true follower of PETA.
However, this didn’t seem to upset Naomi.
She said:
And as for that Heather whatshername [McCartney] saying she’d written to me to complain about me wearing fur and I’d never replied. I never received a letter, nothing.’
And yes, I am still wearing fur, but I’ve made up with that guy from Peta.’

Supermodel Naomi Campbell donated one of her Hermes “It” handbags in pale green alligator skin, which costs 21,000 euros ($31,500) to the charity for White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood. This foundation promotes safe motherhood worldwide and fights against raising deaths in pregnancy, which take away more then half a million women a year.
The Hermes “Birkin” bag had been estimated at between 12,000 to 15,000 euros.
The Hermes auction takes place on November 10, 2009
French auctioneers Artcuria sold this Birkin bag, which was named after British-born celebrity, singer and actress Jane Birkin, who sold her own in 2007 for 74,000 euros ($ 108,000).These money was donated to a human rights group.
The price is the record for a leather handbag at the time.

It seems to me the supermodels like Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell will stay with us forever. Well, for Naomi it’s quite clear, she is as gorgeous as ever. It looks like time doesn’t change her at all. As for Kate, she is no longer as young and beautiful as she used to be. Probably it’s her lifestyle that affects her so much. But Photoshop does miracles even to her.
Vogue UK October Issue features both of the models together with Lily Donaldson and Stella Tennant in a series of photos for ‘Cast & Crew’.
Kate Moss looks young and sexy wearing a leather corset, sheer top, and Union Jack flag.
Naomi Campbell shows off her fantastic body in dalmatian-spots-covered pants, spike heels and ‘V o g u e’ letters on her.
Lily Donaldson is hot and chic wearing leather and fur.
Stella Tennant is more casual than others but still looks chic.
Enjoy more Vogue photos…

This runway was special because of Naomi Campbell.
This super-beauty can make even the most ordinary clothes look great. And this happened again with Issa for Spring-Summer 2010 at London Fashion Week.
The collection itself has nothing much outstanding but, of course, there are some items worth your attention. First of all it’s an ant pattern on about the third of outfits presented in the line.
Those trails of ants were printed or embroidered on a handful of the party dresses.
Rain-forest exotica also inspired some of the garments.Playful green, rose, yellow and orange tones create the illusion of a warm sunny day – somethng we will long for a lot in cold winter months.
Fabrics are light, airy, sheer – perfect for summer walks.

We have allready told you about Naomi Campbell’s indignation with the fact black models are not given jobs during the crisis. And now photographer Nick Knight continues the topic. He says the fashion industry is racist.
Nick claims fashion focuses more on white models, and many industry professionals feel reluctant to work with black beauties.
He said:
I’ve always found the fashion industry to be extremely racist, to the point that I don’t know how they get away with it. When I first started I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, ‘We can’t have a black model – they’re not aspirational.’ You can’t say that!”
Talking about Naomi’s anger, Nick told Britain’s The Times newspaper:
Talk to Naomi and she’s f***ing incandescent with rage that she’s not on the cover of Vogue. She puts it down to racism.”
Black supermodel Naomi Campbell says it goes too far now and black models are interesting to the public and designers only in Ferbruary:
The only time they care about black models is in February because it is Black History Month.”
It seems that black models do need some support:
Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington would go to big designers and say, ‘If you don’t pick Naomi to be in your show, then I don’t want to be in it.’ That’s how I got Prada and Helmut Lang”
The only reason I got the cover of French Vogue was because Yves Saint Laurent called up and told them he’d pull his ads if they didn’t. So of course I got the cover.”
Racism isn’t good in any form, so I’m quite for Naomi and other black models’ part.

Naomi Campbell, a black supermodel with lots of experience, believes the recession has reduced the number of possibilities for black models to get work.
The supermodel is sure advertising executives “don’t dare” risk losing sales and prefer to avoid hiring black models in their campaigns.
She told Sunday Telegraph:
This year, we have gone back all the way that we had advanced. I don’t see any black woman, or of any other race, in big advertising campaigns.”
Let me remind you that last summer, the 39-year-old beauty graced Vogue Italia’s Black Issue, in celebration of black women, but despite the fact she was very positive about the shoot at first, she is now concerned about the impact of the financial crisis onto the fashion industry.
She said:
That made some noise but, unfortunately, we are the same as before. People, in the panic of recession, don’t dare to put a girl of color in their campaign, full stop.”
Naomi seems to be right about that as fashion designer Bruce Oldfield feels the same way.
He said:
It’s absolutely true that black models will not be as popular for advertising companies and magazine covers as white girls.”
