Naomi Elaine Campbell[3]  (born 22 May 1970) is an English model.

In addition to her modelling career, Campbell has embarked on other ventures, which include a novel, an r&b-pop studio album, and several acting appearances in film and television, such as the modelling competition reality show The Face and its international offshoots.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">When faced with discrimination, Campbell received support from her friends; she later quoted Turlington and Evangelista as telling Dolce & Gabbana, "If you don't use Naomi, you don't get us."<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-People-Bio_14-1" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[14]  In December 1987, she appeared on the cover of British Vogue, as that publication's first black cover girl since 1966.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Pool-Guardian_15-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[15]  In August 1988, she became the first black model to appear on the cover of FrenchVogue,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Voguepedia-Naomi_6-6" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[6]  after her friend and mentor, designer Yves St. Laurent, threatened to withdraw his advertising from the magazine if it continued to refuse to place black models on its cover.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-DailyTelegraph-Profile_16-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[16]  The following year, she appeared on the cover of American Vogue, which marked the first time a black model graced the front of the September issue, traditionally the year's biggest and most important issue.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Voguepedia-Naomi_6-7" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[6]

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">In January 1990, Campbell, who was declared "the reigning megamodel of them all" by Interview,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-17" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[17]  appeared with Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford, and Tatjana Patitz on an iconic cover of British Vogue, shot by Peter Lindbergh.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Vogue-1990_18-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[18]  The group was subsequently cast to star in the music video for George Michael's "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom!_%2790 Freedom!
