Naomi Campbell Is Still Our Supermodel Obsession

Keep doing what you’re doing, Naomi

So it's been more than 20 years and where is Naomi now? More than 20 years since she walked down that Versace runway, arm in arm with Cindy and Christy and Linda, the world growing faint as they taught us the difference between walking and walking. (“I don’t think there will ever be a group like us,” she says now, and she is right.) More than 20 years since she writhed in sheer black in that George Michael video, and who the hell knows where he is now? It’s been more than 20 years, and some of Naomi’s super-pals have mostly gone off to do do-gooder work, or launch skin-care lines, their faces not really resembling their faces anymore, just tributes to the faces they used to have. But that’s them. That’s not Naomi, bless her terrifying heart. “I don’t see why I need to stop what I’m doing,” she says. “I'm not living for what other people think of me.” Nothing’s really changed that much, is what she’s saying. Especially not her. She’s still got that skin and that hair and that tiger who lives behind her eyes. She’s still Naomi fucking Campbell. So where is Naomi now? She’s off to her next shoot is where.
