Naomi Campbell Quotes

Patrick Demarchelier was the one who got me my first 'Vogue' cover. It was French 'Vogue' – I think in '87 or '88. I think I was the first black model to be on the cover of French Vogue, which was shocking to me because when I asked them about it, they were like, 'Oh, no. We've never had that before.'
