Exhibit to honor Campbell’s career
After four decades in fashion, the queen of the catwalk is getting her own exhibition.
The Victoria and Albert Museum in London is launching “Naomi: In Fashion,” a celebration of Naomi Campbell’s enduring career.
The exhibition, which opens in June, will showcase memorable designer outfits worn by Campbell, one of the most recognizable models and Black women in the world.
“I’m honored to be asked by the V&A to share my life in clothes with the world,” Campbell, 53, said in a statement.
Sonnet Stanfill, a fashion curator at the museum, called Campbell “one of the most prolific and influential figures in contemporary culture.”
The exhibition will include some 100 looks and accessories from the biggest names in fashion, from Chanel and Dolce & Gabbana to Versace, Yves Saint Laurent, Alexander McQueen and many others.
Curators said that the show will recognize Campbell’s advocacy for equity in the fashion industry and support for emerging creative talents.
The exhibition will run through April 2025.
Brosnan fined for Yellowstone incident:
Actor Pierce Brosnan, who pleaded guilty Thursday to stepping off a trail in a thermal area during a November visit to Yellowstone National Park, was caught after posting pictures online, court records said.
Brosnan, who called in to the court hearing in Mammoth, Wyoming, was fined $500 and ordered to make a $1,000 donation by April 1 to Yellowstone Forever, a nonprofit organization that supports the park, court records said.
A second petty offense, for violating closures and use limits, was dismissed by U.S. Magistrate Judge Stephanie Hambrick.
The actor issued an apology on his Instagram account Thursday, saying he “made an impulsive mistake” and calling himself an environmentalist with “the utmost respect for and love of our natural world.”
“I deeply regret my transgression and offer my heartfelt apologies to all for trespassing in this sensitive area. Yellowstone and all our National Parks are to be cared for and preserved for all to enjoy,” Brosnan wrote.
Brinkley reveals skin cancer:
Supermodel Christie Brinkley bared all Wednesday — in her face, that is — announcing her skin cancer diagnosis in an Instagram post that doubled as a public service announcement.
“The good news for me is we caught the basal cell carcinoma early. And I had great doctors that removed the cancer and stitched me up to perfection like a haute couture Dior,” the Brinkley, 70, wrote. “The good news for you is that all of this can be avoided by being diligent with your sun protection!”
The cancer was discovered by chance as she was accompanying one of her daughters to a doctor’s appointment, Brinkley said.
