NAOMI'S PROTÉGÉ

NAOMI CAMPBELL has named the model she thinks will take on her catwalking crown. The 33-year-old supermodel met Nakiesha Robinson backstage at the Jasper Conran show during London Fashion Week when the 19-year-old fledgling supe plucked up courage to offer her long time idol a glass of passion fruit juice. "It was such a sweet thing to do," Naomi told the Daily Telegraph. "We got talking. I really admired her spirit and decided to take her under my wing. She's bright, she's beautiful, she's got great attitude, walks well and looks great in clothes. She's going to go far. She can be another Naomi for sure." Since winning a modelling competition at home in Jamaica, Robinson has been signed by Premier, Naomi's own agency, and spent Milan Fashion Week being chaperoned by the older model. Campbell even accompanied her to some castings for the Paris shows next week and is already on option for the likes of John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Emanuel Ungaro, Valentino, Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel and Givenchy. "I'm giving her advice, based on what I've learned," went on Naomi. "The main thing is to be focused and enjoy what you do. You have to make your own mistakes; everyone does. Nakiesha will be growing up in front of the whole fashion world, just as I did, and it's not always easy. But she's got her feet on the ground. She'll be fine."

i like that picture of her!

 

[Oria]

Nice pic...I still think that 13 year old is beautiful and could give this young lady a run for her money...wait their both beautiful. I think the others name is Gerran Taylor.

I hope she won't adopt Naomi's infamous attitude on her way to the top, and that is all.
Got any more pictures?

 

[Spacemiu]

She is ok, i dount usually say this about models, but her face is quite ugly

 

[xclusive]

i don't think she's that pretty but if Naomi thinks so..maybe in real life she looks better

 

[Erin]

Yeah - I think we just need a better pic.

 

[Oria]

Yeah a better picture because she's not ugly I saw her on some designers show on Full Frontal in London. I hate when they give black models big afros so cliche and overdone.

 

[Gobi]

I don't think she is pretty at all

MODEL BEHAVIOR: Naomi Campbell's former assistant suing the model for abuse, claiming that Campbell hit her, threw a phone at her and yelled at her during a tantrum at a hotel.

 

[StellaStarr]

I heard that naomi threw her phone behind her back and didnt relize it would hit her

 

[PradaP]

there's always lots of stories about her attitude problem

if they are true, maybe she ought to seek some help?

 

[nay-k]

I think Naomi isn't the only model or celeb with that problem.

I couldn't agree more, and I think she did seek help for her anger issues.

 

[Erin]

Maybe I'm just giving her the benefit of the doubt, but I just think her 'anger' is overrated. Not so much overrated, but just...exaggerated. There we go. Heck, I have anger issues. It's just that they're not broadcasted or shared with the world.

new lawsuit

 

[mikeijames]

if you've ever known anyone with a coke problem, you know they have a propensity to snap, frequently.

i'm not one to accuse...but it is a VERY common trait.

 

[kate]

Her "anger problem" has been covered for quite sometime now. I wonder if it is really that bad or just blown out of proportion?

 

[kellygirl]

new lawsuit? she did it AGAIN?
