Why do so many models become
lingerie designers? It used to be that top models would set their
sights on acting once they’d conquered the catwalks and top ad
campaigns. The silver screen would lure their photogenic features in
but more often than not, provide them with nothing more than wooden
performance opportunities, spit them out and lumber them with a not so
complimentary model-turned-actress tag.
Now, a rite of passage for any successful model appears to be a
lingerie line of their own – or in the case of Naomi Campbell, both.
The model, TV presenter and actress is enjoying a stint in cult TV
show Empire playing Camilla Marks, yet has somehow found the
time to add designer to her CV. She’s teamed up with little-known
Italian brand (to the UK market, anyway) Yamamay to
create a lingerie line called I Am Naomi Campbell.
And being one of the most successful faces in the business, Campbell
got revered photographer Mario Testino to shoot the fruits of her labour.
The 45-year-old has certainly clocked up plenty of lingerie
modelling experience over her 30-year-career; most recently she was
the model body for La Perla and Agent Provocateur’s campaigns.
Appearing to be in the best shape of her life, Campbell dons a thick
fringe to model the sexy body suits and bondage-inspired separates
that make up her Christmas offering.
Compared to her peers, she’s a latecomer to the
model-turned-lingerie-designer brigade; fellow supermodel Elle
Macpherson started her Intimates business in 1999. Since then Gisele
Bundchen has launched her own label while Helena Christensen has
collaborated with Triumph and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has created
Marks Spencer’s most successful lingerie collection to date.

A $2 MILLION bra, “Angel” wings and more hair extensions than ever — welcome to the Victoria’s Secret runway show 2015.
Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid have made their catwalk debuts for the US lingerie giant, with Hadid, 20, sporting a green bra and knickers, along with black butterfly wings, a printed cape and signature flowing blonde hair.
She joined her BFF Jenner, also 20, on the runway, with both “it” girl models walking for VS for the first time in New York today.

“This show is genuinely a dream come true. Can’t thank you enough @victoriassecret @ed_razek #vsfashionshow2015”

Stunning brunette Aldridge wore a $2 million “fantasy” bra in the show, made of 126 diamonds and thousands of gems, while Prinsloo sported wings with the word “love” printed on them.
Kendall’s parents, Caitlyn Jenner and Kris Jenner, put their differences aside to pose for photos at the show, where they sat front row.

After months of working out and eating clean, the VS models were reportedly planning a pizza party post-show.
“Lily’s having a pizza party after this, so I’m really excited,” Hadid told Cosmopolitan, according to the Daily Mail.

“And obviously, everyone knows I’m obsessed with burgers, so I’m going to J.G. Melon, my favourite burger place, and then having a French toast bagel. I’ve been planning it. I’ve planned everything in advance.”
Before official imagery from the show was released, audience members (and the models) shared glimpses of what happened on the runway via social media.

Rihanna — who famously pulled out of her scheuleded performance — sent a note to the models, the Daily Mail reports, which Shaik shared on her Snapchat feed.
“Wish I was there with you guys. Kill it tonight. See you all next time. Love, Rihanna.”
Aussie beauties Shaik — now a VS veteran — and Bridget Malcolm also walked in the hot-ticket show.
