Naomi Elaine Campbell (born on May 22, 1970) in Streatham, London to an affluent family. She carries the bloodlines of Jamaica and China - from her grandmother. With her mother being a dancer, Naomi had early exposure to the arts. At 7, she appeared in Bob Marley's 'Is this love' music video, followed by Culture Club's 'I'll Tumble 4 Ya' at the age of 12. Naomi's life took a new turn when, in late April, just a month before her 16th birthday, she proudly graced the cover of ELLE magazine in the UK - a feat no model of color had achieved before. By the end of the 1980s, Naomi Campbell, alongside Christy Turlington and Linda Evangelista, formed the iconic trio, the 'Trinity' (top 3 most sought-after models). In 1990, once again, the Black trio, along with Claudia Schiffer, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Christy, and Kate Moss, constituted the 'Big Six,' dominating every runway and global fashion magazine, ushering in the era of supermodels - true Hollywood stars rather than mere runway models.

In her enduring modeling career, she has graced over 300 covers of prestigious global fashion magazines. A significant milestone in Naomi's modeling career was her appearance on the cover of Vogue UK in 1987. Following that, the black beauty became the first model of color to appear on the cover of Vogue France in 1988, an unprecedented breakthrough. Success continued as the formidable Anna Wintour propelled her to become the cover face of Vogue US September Issue, the magazine's most special and significant edition, at the tender age of 19. In November 2016, she was honored with the 'Supermodel of the Century' award by GQ Germany.

In 2013, Naomi returned to the fashion scene by founding The Face, a reality TV show about modeling representation for high-end fashion brands. The show's format was deemed innovative, involving not only the performances of the contestants but also the intellectual battle of the coaches, ensuring the survival of their team members. Since its debut, the show has had a positive impact, highly regarded by the fashion industry. It is considered a formidable competitor to the popular Next Top Model series.

Beyond her modeling career, Campbell has ventured into other projects, including an R&B-pop studio album and several appearances in films and television, such as The Face reality TV show and international versions of The Face.

Bündchen was one of Victoria's Secret angels from 2000 to mid-2007. She pioneered the 'horsewalk,' a catwalk stride created when a model raises her knees high and kicks her feet forward. In a 2007 Vogue interview, Claudia Schiffer said that Bündchen was the only remaining supermodel.
