Naomi Campbell is an English model, actress, and one of the most famous black models worldwide. She was one of six models of her generation declared supermodels by the fashion industry and international press.

Campbell was scouted by Beth Boldt and began her career as a model on the cover of British Elle before she turned 16.

She became the first black woman to appear on the cover of French Vogue, Time magazine, Russian Vogue, and more than 500 other magazines. She has also been featured in campaigns for Burberry, Prada, Versace, and many other big-name brands.

Her achievements and influence in the fashion world have immensely contributed to the world’s acceptance of black models today.
