Naomi Campbell wants her new denim collection to “enhance women”.
Campbell, the supermodel, has created a capsule collection with Italian denim wear label Fiorucci and she relied on her own experiences when designing the jeans because she often has trouble finding a pair to suit her.
Naomi told Italian Vogue: “I thought about what would enhance women. I’ve a lot of jeans, as I’ve said, but it’s difficult to find ones that fit perfectly, so I always wear the same ones. For the capsule collection, I thought about what I liked and what I didn’t like. So no low pockets – it’s better to have them higher so they have almost a push-up effect. And then there are washes, which are very special. I’ve got so many pairs: jeans are perfect for travelling – you can wear them with a pair of trainers or flip-flops if you want comfort or heels if you want to look sexy. Jeans are like pasta – basic, but you can interpret them differently each time and play with the accessories.”
Although Naomi, 41, was worried about getting the collection finished in time, she loved every minute of it and would be interested in collaborating with Fiorucci again.
She said: “When Fiorucci called me, I felt really flattered – it’s a brand that’s so iconic that I thought it’d be a great opportunity. And it was. I was only a bit worried about the time but we did our best and got everything done in a hurry.
“I don’t think of myself as a designer. I really liked working with Fiorucci and hope it won’t be an isolated project. We’ll see.”
