Naomi grew wild, hooliganistic (school teachers tore their hair at them, looking at the daring tricks of this girl!). "I'm disappointed in you, you're no good at anything!" - said young Miss Campbell not wanting to delve into her problems Valerie: she was concerned about the creation of a new family, and the daughter's antics were beyond her interests. "All my life I've tried to prove to my mother that I'm not disappointed and I'm worth something," Naomi will later say, sternly sparkling with tiger's eyes.
Difficult child
Valerie Morris, with her bizarre mixture of Jamaican and Chinese blood, could not be called a beauty, and yet she was damn interesting! A black dancer with an extremely self-willed character could not help but like the exotic inhabitants of the Foggy Albion. Valery did not have experience at all, but the desire to eat everything and more - even more. As a result, the dancer herself did not notice how she became pregnant-that's annoyance! Naomi grew up without a father - one of the numerous gentlemen Valerie abandoned his passion even before his daughter was born. Little Naveli's gaboply Naomi took little interest in Valerie: in her life the appearance of the child was more of a burden and not seeing life outside the dance, Valerie took her daughter to a ballet school. Later, Naomi entered the London Academy of Theater Arts.
Main meeting
A tall black girl with a coquettish hairstyle a la Mata Hari and a good figure attracted the looks of passers-by. "Good, you devil!" The men smirked at each other, and the stiff Englishwoman snubbed up her noses: what could be good in this long-necked dildo? And only one lady at the sight of Naomi gleefully lighted her eyes - it was Beth Boldt, a well-known model in the past, and now a successful manager of the modeling agency Elite. "Girl, you just have to come to us for a photographic test!" - Beth said in an objectionable tone. Then, in the mid-80s, the profession of the model only gained momentum. Naomi then wanted to go to medical, she dreamed of the glory of a ballerina - it was difficult to compete with her mother in the dance field. But I decided to try: why not? In the end, she was promised a photo shoot! Photo-proofs came out funny - 15-year-old Naomi was twisted as she could and bent in the most unthinkable gestures: "And I, in fact, also dance, yes!" At the finished images of Beth, the eyes caught fire: they did not have such an ideal photogenic model! Not a single bad angle! The contract was signed without delay - the golden bottom in Elite was immediately felt. Is it tricky to get to the pages of a British magazine in 15 years? For Naomi, it was fate.
Paris, Paris ...
Naomi slammed the door: she still will go, no one dares to order her! Paris, the Mecca of world fashion, attracted the girl with a fleur of temptation, glory, and most of all - freedom from all that was so annoying for her in London. Relations with Valerie became unbearable. Authoritarian mother demanded submission, daughter was not able to obey. Naomi had to go to the trick. The icon of the French fashion, in the eastern diplomatic Azzedine Alaya always managed to get from the woman what he wants. When the eminent Tunisian appeared on Valery's doorstep, the latter did not even have time to respond to his insinuating: "Will you not let Naomi and I go to Paris with me?" Colorfully painting all the prospects of Parisian life and promising personal care and daily monitoring, Azedin won the permission to export the young savage abroad.
Black Swan
Until the star of Naomi Campbell was lit on the fashion horizon, the black models, of course, met on the podium, but were categorically unpopular. Well, long strong legs, well, swan neck and plump lips, but ... The color of the skin solved everything. And then - a sensation: on the cover of pathos Vogue appears amazingly beautiful girl - black! It was the golden age of the fashion world. The birth of a culture that now dictates rules to everyone. Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Stephanie Seymour (later joined by Claudia Schiffer) and the newly-born Black Swan. Naomi suddenly turned into one of the main goddesses of the modern pantheon. Her bestial grace and soft panther footwork, which drove all fashion designers crazy, become the main features of the model: what kind of fashion designer are you, if Naomi Campbell does not participate in your show? The growing power of the queens of the podium is quickly adopted by the stars. The most progressive of them is George Michael: it was he who first collected the entire galaxy of first beauties in his video for the song Freedom. A bare-faced Evangelist and a dancer with closed eyes Naomi provide a phenomenal success for the single. By the way, it was Linda who owned the idea to create a model mini-mafia: by recruiting Campbell and Turlington, she not only provided them and herself with the most tempting projects, but did everything in order to use the new term "supermodel".
Maids accuse
In the secular life of Miss Campbell in great demand: the black model is literally torn to pieces. Her earnings on the most "non-fish" day equals 10,000 conventional units. Naomi is wayward, erratic and capricious to stupefy. The famous "animal" essence is manifested not only on the catwalk: to beat the servant becomes the favorite entertainment of the model. Come from a noisy party and roll a servant to a slob? "For a sweet soul!" She lies down in the morning, does not recognize diets and physical activities. "The only charge that makes my body the way it is is sex!" - rather rumbling, Campbell says, squinting his panther eyes. Naomi easily disrupts the planned shooting, scandals with employers and comes off on the make-up artists: "Do you understand with whom you are dealing? I am a Black Panther, but who knows who you are ?! "Any other model of such behavior would cost a career. And once and for all. But not Naomi. Naomi knows whom to row, and who to smile. To the press she is ready to smile almost always. And if you really want to do it, so that the paparazzi howl with delight: "Atom, Naomi, atu!"
One
Psychologists say that a scandalous woman is a woman unsatisfied. Maybe, as there was plenty of sex in Naomi's life, sex was enough. Only hardly the relationship following this sex, brought the Black Panther joy. She always loved the rich and famous: Joaquin Cortés, Sylvester Stallone, Tommy Lee, Mike Tyson (and was not afraid!). In Mike Tyson, she was glamorized by another fearless character in this story: the odious Italian Robert de Niro. Robert was older than Naomi for 27 years - everyone knew about his weakness for black women. Probably, for Naomi this was the most serious feeling in life. Alas, the capricious podium diva quickly bored the temperamental Italian - in the end, around him swarmed dozens of neolaskanennyh chocolate beauties! Naomi twice planned to marry: for guitarist U-2 Adam Clayten and the top manager of "Formula 1" Flavio Briatore. The first she threw herself, the second literally threw her out of her life after a 3-year romance. They say that Naomi plagued the Italian with excessive requests and money, mocked his maids and rolled up scandals.
Superman for the supermodel
When in 2008 the Black Panther first appeared in the light with the co-owner of Capital Group Vladislav Doronin, the world quietly gasped: nowhere to escape from these Russian oligarchs! "Not for long!" - the media decided and made a mistake. It seems that Naomi has firmly registered in the luxurious Rublevsky mansion of Vladislav. We do not know how the enigma of the Russian soul was influenced by it, but it seems that it was thanks to Doronin that Campbell thawed and ... got better? "Moscow - my favorite city!" - says Naomi, as a mantra. He walks around Red Square, takes photos with fans, soars in Sandunov Baths and does not deny himself the pleasure of hanging out in elite Moscow boutiques. She gladly makes Vladislav expensive gifts and takes no less expensive in return. So, recently the building magnate performed the childhood dream of his lover to dance on the big stage and rented for a day ... The Bolshoi Theater together with the ballet troupe, the service staff and Nikolai Tsiskaridze. Two hours of training cost Doronin 450,000 dollars. Naomi cried like a child, no one had ever given her a dream. And on the birthday of Campbell, the construction magnate hosted a party such that Moscow, having seen it for a long time, came to the senses with raptures. However, in addition to beautiful gestures, Vladislav managed to accomplish something else, thoroughly conquered the Black Panther: he made friends with her mother (yes, that same arrogant Valerie Morris) - the paparazzi now and then find them behind a spiritual conversation. Valerie laughs and looks at her daughter in a completely new way: this is a man! Naomi is happy. "I turned 40, and in my life finally came the sense: I have a beloved man, there is love." They say that their wedding with Vladislav should be an extraordinary event ...
