Naomi Campbell’s look within reach
Iconic top model of the 1990s, Naomi Campbell returns to the front of the stage with a collaboration, not with a major luxury brand, but with Prettylittlething, a British fast-fashion brand.

Critics that Naomi Campbell will certainly have to face when presenting the collection on September 5, just before the start of New York Fashion Week.
The show will be broadcast live on the brand’s YouTube channel
