Naomi Campbell: London Campbell
built 633 days ago
In February 2001 pictures were published in the Daily Mirror newspaper showing Campbell leaving a Narcotics Anonymous meeting in London. In March 2002 Campbell sued the paper citing a breach of confidentiality, since she was receiving treatment for drug addiction at the time. The Mirror claimed that the pictures were in the public interest as Campbell had denied having a drug problem publicly and had, up to that point, not been known or demonstrated to be a drug addict. The High Court ruled in Campbell's favour and the Mirror was ordered to pay £3,500 in damages (although legal costs were thought to be around £500,000.) In October 2002, the Mirror won an Appeal Court ruling that the photographs were indeed in the public interest. Campbell was ordered to pay the costs of the Mirror's legal fees, a cost of around £350,000. However, in May 2004 the Law Lords overturned the Appeal Court ruling by a 3 to 2 majority, which reinstated the High Court's original decision, and Campbell was rewarded £3,500 and the £350,000 legal costs.

Naomi purchases eyelash extensions every six weeks, spending four hours in a specialist London salon. With eyelash extensions, she gets all the effects of mascara without the fuss of clogging make-up. Each synthetic eyelash extension is hand-cut and attached to the natural lash with cosmetic glue, lengthening it by a third. (edit)

Her day started out like many others before it. A young Naomi Campbell dressed and headed out the door. Little did she know that a simple walk on a street near Covent Gardens in lower-middle-class London would set in motion a career that would land her on the covers of French and American Vogue, Time Magazine and give her the conspicuous title as the first Black woman to grace the number one American Fashion Magazine - Vogue. The catwalks were just getting started!
