Yahoo News Naomi Campbell steals show at Fashion for Relief: 'It’s not just about looking good, it’s about being good and doing good'
We thought the highlight of London Fashion Week 2019 would be seeing how the fashion set are styling out the unexpected heatwave.
Oh, how wrong we were.
For Naomi Campbell’s annual Fashion for Relief event well and truly stole the sun’s thunder last night.
Staged in the British Museum, the evening’s fashion show (which was supported by high fashion houses such as Alexander McQueen, Marc Jacobs, Gucci and Vivienne Westwood) included a bevy of the fashion industry’s favourite faces, including supermodel stalwart Erin O'Connor and Victoria's Secret Angel, Stella Maxwell.
And the famous faces who turned out to support the event were notable: Vogue editors Edward Enninful and Anna Wintour graced the FROW alongside Pierce Brosnan, Naomie Harris and Sandra Oh.
As the fashion show drew to a close, 49-year-old Campbell strutted out with 30 school students from West Norwood’s The Elmgreen School, who she invited to join her on the runway after meeting them in a school visit earlier this year.
