The supermodel, 53, is celebrating 40 years in the industry after she was first scouted in Covent Garden when she was 15-years-old and has been personally involved in curating the exhibition. 

The V&A has dedicated its next exhibition called Naomi to the model, showcasing some of her own extensive wardrobe and runway collections.

Posing for photos with some of the items, Naomi looked as stylish as ever in a long wool coat and matching wide leg trousers. 

She layered a black shirt underneath and teamed her outfit with a pair of stiletto heels.

The museums newest upcoming display will follow in the likes of Gabrielle, Coco Chanel.

The display will also feature fashion photography, curated by the British’s editor-in-chief Edward Enninful.

The first confirmed gown appearing on display is a Valentino pink feathered and lace gown which Naomi wore to the Met Gala in 2019.

Originally from south London, Naomi established herself among the top three most recognizable and in-demand models of the late 1980s.

Just before she turned 16, she was on the cover of British Elle and in 1987, she became British Vogue’s first black cover girl since 1966. 

The model surprised fans last year by revealing she’d joined forces with the online fashion retailer PrettyLittleThing to create her Designed by Naomi Campbell collection.

In a recent two-part film, Naomi revealed she didn’t think the ‘younger generation’ even knew who she was.

Naomi could be seen donning a number of fashionable looks as she let the camera behind-the-scenes and gave a look at the creative process into her collection.

She told the camera: ‘I get to speak to a younger generation of which I didn’t think even knew who I was.’

‘When I think fashion, fashion does not discriminate. I can’t wait to see all these lovely young women wearing my designs.’

She added: ‘I want young girls to take from this collection to be themselves, to feel confident in how they wear these clothes and designed by me and interpret who they are in the clothes. So bringing their own essence, style swag to the outfits.’
