On her diet: “For me, carbs are a treat now.” [She] is vigilant about her beauty routine too: steams, facials—“everything I can to keep my skin elasticated.” She says plastic surgery is fine“for those who do it for themselves and not to please someone else,” but she isn’t fazed about getting older. “I don’t worry about a number, I’m fine with aging.”
On her past: “Look, you have to make mistakes. That’s how you learn and that’s how the world works. I’ve made a few. What makes a person is the ability to look at themselves and deal with their own lives. How you deal [with your actions] is what defines you.”
On being called a “supermodel”: “But I would never call myself that. I don’t have any superhuman powers. I still love what I do. It’s a new challenge to see how people can change your look. I like words like transformation, reinvention, and chameleon. Because one word I don’t like is predictable.”
Naomi still looks great, doesn’t she? You can read her entire interview in the March issue of Harper’s Bazaar (the cover with Gwyneth Paltrow is in the thumbnails), which hits newsstands on February 14.
Naomi Campbell opened up to Harper’s Bazaar in their March issue. I think she’s the last of the popular models (I’m refraining from calling her a supermodel
) from the 90s who’s still modeling, isn’t she?
