With a modeling career that started in New York, Jamaica native Grace Jones eventually made her way to Paris, where she became the hit of the town. In 2016 she released the coffee table book Naomi Campbell, commemorating 30 years in the business. But, as the exception to the rule when looking at the parameters of this list, it is her decades-long work as a model and appearances related to such that have continued to keep her at the forefront of conversations. She has also ventured professionally outside of the fashion world, singing and the occasional acting gig. She has worked with a legion of fashion luminaries, counting Azzedine Alaïa, Marc Jacobs, Anna Sui, Vivienne Westwood, and Donatella Versace, among others, as her mentors and inspiration.Ĭampbell has faced a number of public difficulties, including guilty pleas to aggravated assault and substance abuse issues. Linked with fellow supermodels Christy Turlington and Linda Evangelista during the ’90s, Campbell has appeared over the decades in a dizzying array of fashion editorials, runway shows (she is an industry standard-bearer of fierce catwalk precision), ad campaigns, and music videos. Despite noting that she wasn’t booked for certain jobs due to prejudice, she soon landed Vogue covers across the world, including American Vogue for Anna Wintour's first September issue as editor-in-chief. Born in London, Naomi Campbell was approached by a scout in the mid-1980s when she was a teenager.
