Look Back at Naomi Campbell's Best '90s Moments

L'OFFICIEL rounds up young images of the supermodel that prove her timelessness.

Naomi Campbell is one of the most influential supermodels from the '90s, and a trailblazer for representation of Black talent in fashion. After being discovered at the age of 15 by Elite, Campbell's career propelled forward with a long list of firsts, including being the first Black model to front several prominent publications. Beloved by designers like Azzedine Alaïa and Gianni Versace, her runway walk could make any look pop. With her recent Vogue cover and news of the upcoming Apple TV documentary The Supermodels that will offer a behind-the-scenes look at Campbell along with Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington during their golden era, we definitely have a bit of nostalgia. Revisit some of the fashion icon's best pre-2000s moments here.
