Naomi Campbell Quotes

Modeling for a year taught me a lot. I got very involved in the fashion industry and met a bunch of people who I admired.

Fashion Week is surprisingly very short. At least the actual runway shows are.

I have always worked a bit with fashion people. I worked with Issey Miyake for a while, then Dolce & Gabbana; now we're working with Valentino. It's fine. The fashion world is a fairly weird world, but there are good people in it. It's weird because their timetables are unbearable.

When I started in 1992, I really thought the 'Vogue' fashion department was one of the most frightening places on the planet.

For my film 'Fashion,' like an investigative journalist, I went about knowing the people, the models, the fashion designers. Similarly with the corporate world.

In White Plains I wasn't theatrical at all. I was a model and I used to take the train into New York three days a week to do travelogue work.

For a lot of people, it's a massive deal to be on the front row at Fashion Week and look perfect. I don't go to be seen; I go to look at the collections and support my friends, like Henry, Giles and Jonathan Saunders. As much as I love clothes and shopping, it doesn't drive me.

Fashion is really a place where every other industry connects, whether it's music or acting.

I come to Fashion Week events in New York City twice a year.

I will continue modeling until they don't want me anymore basically because I do love it very much.

I used to go to a lot of Pam Hogg shows. The thing about London Fashion Week is that, generally, we're on tour and traveling around, so it's very rare that I actually catch it. I like to go to Burberry because I know a few girls who work there. I kind of follow friends.

When I started out modelling, people kept warning me that I would only last five years.
