When it comes to her personal life and her career, the supermodel is doing things on her terms.
“They are all icons and all have great bodies of work,” Naomi says of her campaign co-stars. “It was great to be with Gisele again and work alongside her.” She adds that it was also meaningful to be photographed with her mentee Akech, whom she lovingly refers to as “my baby Adut”. While Campbell has shared the runway with these women in the past, this campaign shoot begot a new perspective. “I’m not their age. I’m the older one in the group,” she says, laughing. “It’s great to be alongside them.
For Campbell – who has a track record of championing African fashion with events like the Arise Fashion Week contest, as well as efforts to establish a mentorship for African designers at the Kering Group’s Paris headquarters – working alongside Nigerian creatives was a big draw.
While undoubtedly an icon of past and present, Campbell is always keeping her eye on the future, not only for herself but for her children and her mentees. She sees the new Victoria’s Secret as a launchpad for the next generation: “I feel that they’re listening to what the young people around the world want.”
