NAOMI CAMPBELL

SUZY MENKES
About this episode

One of the most important cultural figures of the past forty years, Naomi Campbell needs almost no introduction. Suzy sat down with her friend to discuss her life and work, and not least, an incredible new exhibition at the V&A South Kensington celebrating none other than the supermodel herself.

The show runs from Saturday June 22, 2024 until April 2025.
