My Take
Naomi Campbell interests me less as a beautiful face than as a structural event in fashion. Being the first Black woman on the covers of Time and Vogue France is not a trivia point; it redrew the boundaries of who the industry was forced to see. She started working at eight, was anointed one of the six original supermodels, and nearly four decades later she still commands a runway like a closing argument. Her philanthropy and her mentoring of younger models suggest she understood early that opening a door means holding it open. Longevity plus consequence — that combination is vanishingly rare.
