Naomi Campbell's Pleasures

Naomi Campbell, eyes on fashion.



Over the weekend the Chicago Tribune contacted supermodel turned celebrity target Naomi Campbell and milked out a list of her “10 Favourite Things”.

Ready to take a dip?



As famous for her tantrums and diva attitude as for her obvious physical appeal on the catwalk. Naomi Campbell has modelled for most all the prestigious Fashion Houses and her portfolio reads like a dream list of style.

Afforded the choice of opulent luxury and jet set lifestyle, what does the fiery Amazon rank as the 10 greatest delights of life?

From the Chicago Tribune:

1. Garrett's Popcorn in Chicago: I stood in line and it was worth it.

The World famous Garrett's


2. Vintage clothes: I like the 1930s. My favorite London shops are Pearl Lowe, who makes dresses out of vintage fabrics, and Steinberg and Tolkien. In New York, Resurrection and Southpaw Vintage Clothing.

3. Goldeneye Resort, Jamaica: I was born in England but my family is from Jamaica. I have a house there.

4. Blahnik, Louboutin, Alaia and Marc Jacobs shoes: I never wear anything shorter than a 4-inch heel.

5. James Taffin de Givenchy jewelry: It looks very old but not cluttered or big.

6. Coffee mousse facials: I get them at Mario Badescu in New York City.

7. Prince: He is just a genius.

8. "Ask and It Is Given." A book that simply but eloquently talks about universal laws of attraction.

9. Anna Wintour: She is such a powerful woman in fashion. It is a wonderful position for a woman to be in.

10. Cooking: There's nothing I like to do more than cook a big meal with friends and family. I make great jerk Cornish hens.

An interesting list that reveals a range of interests and by default NC rules of glamour and life philosophy. I can only imagine the “4 Inch Heel” commandment raises its own logistical nightmares. And yes “Garrett’s Popcorn” is that good!

Autumn Trends (LINK)

September 26th 2007 16:33
Its the holy grail for every high street fashion chain boss - take the cream of the best catwalk designs from London, Paris, Milan and New York and turn them into speed chic, affordable fashion that flies off the shelves.

In the golden years of Haute Couture (1947-1957) Dior, Fath and Balenciaga had a one month publication ban on all images of their runway, as the exclusive sale of one calico toille to a Ready to Wear house was often enough to fund the beginnings of their next collection; Those caught sketching in public faced public prosecution. Today copying is rife, and it seems that not an Australian Fashion Week goes by without another young designer being accused by the media of copying

Ultra thin is not 'in' (LINK)

September 15th 2007 15:16
There was a time when a woman's wealth was recognized by her rubenesque figure. Today Paris Hilton lookalikes are revered and every womens magazine don't print without them. Governments around the world are now taking action to address the unrealistic body image expectations placed upon the worlds modelling industry. The Australian Fashion Council hosted a forum in March to discuss and debate whether or not industry guidelines are necessary to discourage the use of extraordinarily thin models on Australian runways and to ensure the health and wellbeing of Young Australians working as fashion models.

More importantly it raises the discussion that Designers and media have an ethical obligation to set the right role models for the youth of today

Tristan Blair - What Else! (LINK)

September 11th 2007 17:56
It's fair to say after trawling boutique after fabulous boutique in this beautiful city, there is noone aside from Massarro of course, who quite puts the same shine on a pair of shoes than Australian Designer Tristan Blair.

He is elusive, demure and completely humble about his creativity. I once attempted to help him source a shoe manufacturer in Brazil. He had become great friends with a man and his chicken in Bali and was loathe to change. Given my experiences in working with Brazilian timeframes I can understand why. Nothing quite happens fast enough in that country. Needless to say in a Summer that sports cotton candy and casual style you cant go past his new collection "Wonderful Armour

The Ultimate A List Accessory - the Parisian Baby Stylist (LINK)

September 9th 2007 15:28
We have all seen the power of the stylist. Before we knew it, Hollywood stylist Rachel Zoe had Lindsay Lohan, Nicole Ritchie and Jessica Simpson all sporting drapey gowns over wispy thin bodies. One journalist touts that its only since Celebrities and Designers realised that revenue could be bought in from red carpet photographs, that the Stylist has forged a position in society on par to a Publicist and Celebrity Manager. They are THE ultimate accessory and Celebrities today dont leave home without them.

A new super power has emerged with the baby boom among CEO's, Supermodels and Hollywood's A-List - having on call one's very own Parisian Baby Stylist. I had the pleasure of catching up with the name in every starlets Little Black Book - Laetitia Lerouge

Junya Watanabe or College Days Revisited

June 26th 2007 00:01
In this rainy wintry weather looking at Junya Watanabe’s men’s collection in Milan I was reminiscing about college. For those of you unfamiliar with the Canberra education system, years 11 and 12 at public schools are called colleges, are located on their own grounds, have no uniforms and the teachers are called by their first names. There’s no HSC, assessment is close to the university system and generally they’re far nicer places to be. Anyway when I was at college the boys used to dress like this, themselves nostalgic for some sort of 80s punky/motorcycle rider style.

Daria Werbowy: Canadian Amazon

June 15th 2007 00:07
Daria Werbowy
From Dariawerbowy.org


Pictured here all fresh faced and delightful is Daria Werbowy of Canada. Werbowy, like Jessica Stam, passes my knee test (if the thigh is wider than the knee then the model is not sick) and not only that but she exhibits an intelligence one may not expect from models. Maybe she’s simply learned to feign intent with those blue eyes of hers, or perhaps I’m prejudiced because she’s brunette but I do think there’s something more in Werbowy’s brain than is usually held in the mind of a model

Prada: progenitor of postmodern pastiche

June 14th 2007 00:44
In my habitual internet trawlings I came across quite a feat on the Prada website. Admittedly I didn’t much like this season’s collection but the means by which it is represented is a true cultural document. Prada demonstrates wit, self-reflexivity and pastiche in a way that many other ‘postmodernists’ should envy. As a European luxury brand, descended from a grand tradition to a commercial reality, Prada is a modern day icon but the self-representation offers an entirely new perspective on the brand.

Gucci sucks

June 13th 2007 00:43
Just about anyone with any style steers clear of Gucci on the whole and their Autumn/Winter 07 collection only affirms that general principle. Let’s take a look at some examples.
