2018 CFDA Fashion Awards: Naomi Campbell Receives Fashion Icon Award

[@akinishi1985]

She should have received this decades ago!

[@jalleelbansie8007]

Aki Nishi i now right.

[@hotstuff400]

Aki Nishi how about Linda

[@akinishi1985]

hotstuff400 yup

[@SpencerKross]

I know right what even.

[@alexbuildingblocksandjerom3454]

I agree with you.

[@ruellsmith1366]

she truly is perfect. Her eyes, and forehead and her lips are just sculpted perfectly

[@michaeltrumph121]

She has no tits. Tyra looked better, in both their primes.

[@gutchiespencer2714]

Michael Trumph Her chest is not filled with Silicone, so what???

[@michaeltrumph121]

@@gutchiespencer2714 I'm talking about natural breasts, not silicone. And Naomi doesn't have much of an ass either.

[@Liza33650]

And she got a nos job but she looks great so who cares

[@barb6868]

Stop idolizing people. Nobody is perfect. Start loving yourselves and you won't keep focusing on others.

[@elcoveney6459]

One of The most beautiful women of all time

[@cannelle-cx1eb]

El Coveney true

[@szumaktv4038]

don't call a woman like that after surgery

[@beafernandez4130]

I love it, when she always pay tribute to her supermodel colleagues, cause lets be honest that was the era when real supermodel legends started. (She mentioned - Cindy, Linda, Steffany, Christy, Claudia, and Kate Moss)

[@TheBuf1975]

Bea Fernandez Okay. From the early 70s to 2003...The era will never ever be duplicated again but there is a glimmer of hope with Imaan Hamman, Joan Smalls, Anna Ewers, Lily Donaldson, Teddy Quinlivan, Fei Fei Sun, Raquel Zimmermann, Adwoa Aboah, Cindy Bruna, Gigi, Josephine Le Tutour, Natasha Poly, Karlie Kloss, Jourdan Dunn, Anais Mali, Anja Rubik, Andreea Diaconu, Amyline Valade, Mariacarla Boscono💖💖💖, Daria Strokus, Lexi Boling, Binx Walton & Kaia Gerber. They can replicate the Supermodel Era...but these girls listed and a dozen others truly take their job serious, are being mentored by legendary designers & photographers. Like John Galliano taking Karlie under his wing and Alexander Wang with Binx & Lexi, Kaia (now) and Donatella with all the above listed. Lmao. I cannot wait for a few that I will never mention to cease from being seen in the industry and go on hiatus.

[@shaesmith9862]

TheBuf1975 it will never happen again, the designers and models made that decade glamorous. Shit designers = shit models

[@icantakeit]

yeah, say it sister.

[@design17]

The "real" supermodels started with Pat Cleveland, Iman, Donyale Luna, Naomi Sims, Mounia, Jerry Hall, Lauren Hutton, Alva Chinn, Bethann Hardison, Beverly Johnson, Karen Bjornson , Billie Blair, Dayle Haddon ....and many more. These girls paved the way for the other models.

[@t-talk-time3582]

@@design17es every successful model uniquely paves the way for the next line up of successful models. But even the icons you respectfully listed were not able to catapult the attention and lucrative contracts & global exposure that those 5 women were able to do in the 90’s. It was because of them and key designers (especially Gianni Versace) that models finally earned the brand ambassador power to negotiate their cultural & fashion influence for models after as well as being light back to your lists of icons. Lauren Hutton definitely triggered the start of contracts, but the original Supermodels bypassed the clothes and products they advertised to become global household names. That’s actually the original birth of title Supermodel. So their credit as the “original supermodels” isn’t to diminish others, but fact is none of the others before or after catapulted the occupation and the business respectability and individual recognition that those women were able to accomplish.

[@Maatization]

Naomi is the greatest of all time...

[@treegerl]

NAOMI my legit queen!!! This woman has inspired my whole life. Elegant and grateful, a true beauty.

[@louloutre]

You're kidding, right? She's gorgeous, a real goddess, but she's a total nutcase. She's full of herself, rude, mean.... Lately she cleaned up her act a little.... aging probably pushes her to change a little.

[@JosephDeLosSantos-t3m]

louloutre you ooze of insecurity and lack of self-confidence. She’s done shit for a lot of people who have been in disarray, while here you are, professing to the world you’re a loser who thinks self-confidence and being opinionated is being rude and proud. Sit down , please 🤷🏻‍♂️

Who cried after this? Beautiful speech.😢 And she mentioned her 'sisters' as allways.🤘The Best Model In The World. Great contribute to fashion and world at all.👏

[@jacobpatrickpoulsen6608]

Finally she got this award. She has had such a long career as a model for over 30 years and she is still killing it. She looks amazing and she has a body that most women will die to have. She has always been in great shape throughout her career and she looks a lot younger than the 48 year old woman that she is. She looks like she is in her late 20´s- early 30´s, in my opinion. :)

[@masha.6072]

Now this is how a supermodel looks like! Not these none looking “models“ like Kendall Trash Jenner.. Naomi and Kate Moss are Real models ❤️❤️

[@myassessmentadres1349]

I see Kendall is a natural beauty. She has always been beautiful, on her own, because she is young.....Being a topmodel, suits her very well.

[@an.2001]

@@myassessmentadres1349 LMAO natural beauty? Kendall has done many surgical procedures to her face. Her walk is nothing special, her shoulders are so stiff when she walks. She does not hold any confidence in her walk nor does it show on her face. She is only being payed as a model because of her family and her popularity. She is not a real model, and will never be the top model. Kendall Jenner is not and will never be a great model, unless she puts her heart, and body for the world of fashion.

[@omarytilata8501]

I see Kendall Jenner lives rent free in your head

[@nellyvanecyan5326]

Perfection, authentic beauty and a lot of grace. All of these are included in one name just Naomi Campbell.

[@CuirPhotodotNet]

ABOUT DAMN TIME......BRAVO NAOMI !!!!

[@whynot7802]

I loved her speech so much..enjoyed it wasnt bored..like the guy who presented her.it made me emotional cause she is totally more than a supermodel. Her connections to designers is amazing and raw and real. She is very thankful and never forgets to credit all of the ppl in her life

[@sonukhan-mj2wu]

i really feel that naomi is the new version of Nefertiti...

[@myassessmentadres1349]

I think so, that the other woman must have looked a bit like her......

[@massimosquecco203]

She really has become an institution, her speeches make sense and she's working for a better society end a healthy way of thinking. I saw her for the first time on Vogue Italia, summer 1988 and I was mesmerized by her smile. Then I followed her otherworldy developments along all these years, always in awe for her beauty, energy, and brains. Maybe she's difficult but she really made/makes a difference - on a global scale - for the better. She deserves all she has accomplished and a monument.

Cindy host the Mtv fashion show with naomi, linda, christy in it) and shes not the part of the trinity (naomi, linda, christy) yes shes a supermodel too but yeah... not that close with naomi

This speech sums up Naomi's character. She is transparent and her approach is casually unaffected by people's wealth and power. She sees people at their most bare as she too is that way.

[@chasenip2]

Just one question. WHAT THE HELL took the CFDA so long????

[@vins1979]

It was not that long, really. The CFDA gives many awards, but the 'Fashion Icon Awards' was established only a few years ago, in 2014. And since the awards is for 'icons', they don't give it only to models or people in the fashion industry, but also to singers and people who have achieved an 'iconic' status. It is not an awards for modelling. As a matter of fact, Naomi Campbell is the ONLY model who got this awards, as a recognition that her fame and iconic status goes beyond the pictures and catwalks.
