Along with Claudia Schiffer, Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington and Linda Evangelista, she was one of the original supermodels.
But Naomi Campbell reckons that golden age is over.
And the new wave of fashionistas such as Agyness Deyn and Lily Cole have a lot to prove.
In fact she believes the only model currently worthy of the title "super" is Brazilian Gisele Bundchen - former squeeze of Leonardo DiCaprio.
"I think the term 'supermodel' gets thrown around too much nowadays," says the catwalk queen.
"Models need to earn their stripes - I just think the term is used a little too loosely.
"Kate Moss is obviously a supermodel but after Gisele, I don't think there's been one."
Naomi - who was chosen to be on the cover of Vogue Italia's All Black issue recently - also reveals that her pal Kate doesn't actually like the catwalk!
That's why the Streathamborn stunner hasn't lined her up to appear in the Fashion For Relief charity runway show Naomi organises each autumn.
"Kate hasn't walked down the catwalk for years," she says.
"She never really liked the shows so I won't be pushing her to do it this time around.
"But it'll be a brilliant do and I cannot wait."
During the day Naomi also divulged that when she was recently arrested following a Heathrow T5 luggage row Victoria Beckham was one of the first people to offer her support.
"I speak to Victoria pretty regularly about normal mundane stuff," she says.
"When I was going through my hard time recently she was immediately on the phone, asking me how I was doing and saying, 'I hope you're well.' "She was very sweet.
"We share girl stuff and she is so funny - people just don't know her or get her.
"She also works incredibly hard - that girl works her a**e off. And she's a mother of three - that can't be easy.
"I really love Victoria and David Beckham."
