a straight up whirlwind of fierce! … LOL!
“She’s the sunshine after the storm,” Helayel was reported as saying.
HOTT FASHION!
Work it, Girl!
NAOMI CAMPBELL walks the catwalk in the Issa fashion show during London Fashion Week at the BFT Tent, Somerset House on September 20, 2009 in London, England.
BAD-GIRL supermodel Naomi Campbell has over-powered the big-hitters of style with a demonstration of why she’s “the best walker on the catwalk”.
Designers Matthew Williamson and Antonio Berardi made their hotly anticipated return to London Fashion Week yesterday, injecting serious glamour into the event as it celebrates its 25th anniversary.
But Campbell proved, at the age of 39, that supermodel is still the most sought-after label, with a leggy display of outfits by Issa’s Daniella Helayel.
“Naomi is pure hurricane – she’s the best walker on the catwalk, she’s the sunshine after the storm,” Helayel was reported as saying. “Every time she walks, the audience screams and claps. I’m very pleased she wanted to wear three outfits, as she only wears what she likes. She is the top model in swimwear, and looks better than any 21-year-old I know.”
Williamson, a New Yorker for the past seven years, presented typically colourful and sexy dresses enhanced by intricate beading, metallic fabrics and shards of mirrors.
“It’s great that he’s coming back to London. I wish they’d all come back to London. That’s where they originated, that’s where they trained,” said Twiggy, the model who became the face of the 1960s.
Big names have boosted the six-day London Fashion Week after years of struggling for prestige against the big guns of Paris, New York and Milan.
British-Italian Berardi, who has been showing in Paris since 2005, returned home with a collection that maintained his trademark miniskirts, with dresses sculpted from the waist outwards, matched with bustiers. The designers’ return, alongside Pringle of Scotland and Burberry, has caused huge excitement – even if it is unclear whether they will stay after the celebrations end.
