Last year Naomi Campbell And Linda Evangelista had appeared on the cover of Vogue (along with Christy Turlington And Cindy Crawford) for the launch of “The Supermodels”, the AppleTv+ series dedicated to the top models of the 90s and on that occasion Campbell spoke of «sisterhood, mutual support and loyalty» in reference to her colleagues. To the most attentive observers, however, all she missed was her, publishing photos of the four of them on the catwalk at Vogue World, the British model tagged Turlington and Crawford, but not Evangelista. And now we understand why: it seems that the two models can’t stand each other anymore. To the point of not being able to stay in the same room together.
It was Naomi herself who made it clear how much the relationship between the two top models had deteriorated (irreparably?) in an interview with «The Standard» given on the occasion of the presentation of the exhibition that the V&A museum in London has been dedicating to her since 22 June 2024, she hinted that she was disappointed in a person who she felt showed her “ungratefulness.” And even if you didn’t specifically mention Evangelista’s name, you didn’t mention her when talking about the generation of models who paved the way for modern influencers and you instead named Kate MossTurlington e Stephanie Seymour, it was definitely a clue. «Insincerity makes me angry, as does ingratitude. Especially when you know that you did everything to really help someone and that someone doesn’t even thank you. Not even a simple “thank you”. It’s not so much anger as, rather, a great disappointment”, thundered Campbell who, when asked by the journalist if she was referring to someone in particular, replied:”Exact».
At that point the article goes on to reveal that Naomi and the Canadian supermodel would also have stopped to follow each other on social media and they would even avoid each other at fashion shows (at the show of Fendi during the Milan Fashion Week of September 2023 were seated five seats apart, which would never have happened in the past). Two years ago, on the occasion of Campbell’s birthday, Evangelista shared a shot of the two of them together in the 90s on Instagram, complete with little hearts, “I love you” and the tag #family, while in 2021 it was Naomi who paid tribute his praise to his colleague for having found the courage to talk about the ordeal she experienced because of CoolSculpting, which had left her brutally disfigured.
