Naomi Campbell wants to be a model until she’s in her 60s.
The 39-year-old supermodel has been strutting down catwalks since she was 14, and plans to keep working in the fashion industry for another 25 years.
She said: “Next year, I’m celebrating 25 years in fashion – and here’s to another 25! Personally, I’m very happy and look forward to sharing many more special moments in this industry with my loved ones.”
Naomi’s modelling career has made her millions, but she is even more excited about being a positive role model for black women everywhere.
She explained to Britain’s Hello! magazine: “I do find it incredibly important to be a representative of women of colour in fashion. There aren’t enough of us and never have been. There’s much more work we all need to do.”
The model – who has been accused of physically attacking several of her employees, and served community service for assaulting a police officer in 2008 – also insisted she is not a mean as her reputation suggests.
Naomi said: “There are lots of perceptions about me, but I simply cannot focus on what everyone may think or may not think. I have to be true to myself. My friends will often say, ‘You’re so different from what people may think’.
“We all have different sides to our personalities and some aren’t always revealed on the surface.”
