A look inside Naomi Campbell’s iconic wardrobe: The supermodel, 53, celebrated 40 years in fashion with a V&A NAOMI exhibition of her most iconic looks on Wednesday
The supermodel is celebrating 40 years in the industry after she was first scouted in Covent Garden when she was 15 years old and is giving fans a look into her personal wardrobe and some of her most iconic looks.
The museum’s newest upcoming exhibition follows in e.g. Gabrielle, Coco Chanel.
The exhibition will also feature fashion photography, curated by British editor-in-chief Edward Enninful.
Opening June 22, 2024 and running through April 6, 2025, Naomi’s will feature past and present designers who helped shape her early career.
Pieces from Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Alexander McQueen, Jean Paul Gaultier, Virgil Abloh and more are to be included in the exhibition.
The first confirmed dress to appear on screen is a Valentino pink feather and lace gown that Naomi wore to the 2019 Met Gala.
Originally from South London, Naomi established herself among the three most recognizable and in-demand models of the late 1980s.
Just before she turned 16, she was on the cover of British Elle, and in 1987 she became British Vogue’s first black cover girl since 1966.
The model surprised fans last year by revealing she had teamed up with online fashion retailer PrettyLittleThing to create her Designed by Naomi Campbell collection.

In a recent two-parter, Naomi revealed that she didn’t think the ‘younger generation’ even knew who she was.
Naomi was seen donning a range of fashionable looks as she let the camera go behind the scenes and gave a glimpse into the creative process of her collection.
She told the camera: ‘I get to talk to a younger generation that I didn’t think even knew who I was.’
‘When I think about fashion, fashion does not discriminate. I can’t wait to see all these lovely young women wearing my designs.’
She added: “I want young girls to take from this collection to be themselves, feel confident in how they wear these clothes and designed by me and interpret who they are in the clothes. Then bring their own essence, style swag for outfits.’
