Exhibition will celebrate Naomi Campbell’s four decades in fashion
LONDON >> 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.
Applegate says she probably had MS for 7 years before diagnosis
LOS ANGELES >> Christina Applegate believes she might have had multiple sclerosis for as long as seven years before officially being diagnosed with the autoimmune disease in 2021.
Battling symptoms on and off, the Emmy winner and “Married ... With Children” alum said she put off being checked by a doctor despite her legs giving out while filming the first season of her Netflix comedy “Dead to Me.”
“I really just kind of put it off as being tired, or I’m dehydrated, or it’s the weather,” Applegate said in an interview that aired on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” “And then nothing would happen for, like, months, and I didn’t pay attention.”
Multiple sclerosis, or MS, affects the nervous system and often results in progressive physical and cognitive decline.
