Naomi Campbell And Vogue Boss Anna Wintour Exchange Barbs Onstage At Fashion Event
HuffPost
The supermodel called Wintour "the other lady" after getting a somewhat icy introduction from the media mogul in New York.
Naomi Campbell and Anna Wintour might have the most captivating feud in the entire fashion world.
The supermodel and Vogue’s editor in chief have known each other for decades, so fashionistas were rapt by the minor drama that played out Tuesday at the Fashion Show & Style Awards, held by the Harlem’s Fashion Row agency in New York.
Wintour made a point of subtly mocking Campbell for her typical tardiness while introducing the runway legend, who allegedly showed up late to the event.
“I am a very punctual person, and I have the honor of presenting tonight to someone who is often late,” the publishing giant told the audience.
Wintour reportedly also called Campbell “one of the most fearless people I know,” adding that her courage “was evident at the very, very start of her career when she began to speak the truth about inequality and injustice. And this was at a time when it was not so common to do so.”
