London’s Runway Revolution: Naomi Campbell’s Style and Spirit Take Center Stage

When the Victoria and Albert Museum spotlights Naomi Campbell, it’s not just about glamorous gowns and catwalk struts. This landmark exhibition, running from June 2024 to April 2025, unpacks four decades of Campbell’s influence, tracing her journey from south London roots to global fashion force. Visitors can expect a parade of nearly 100 iconic looks, from a sculptural Thierry Mugler corset to the unforgettable pink Valentino worn at the Met Gala. The show weaves together pieces by fashion legends—think McQueen, Versace, and Westwood—each telling a chapter of Campbell’s ever-evolving story. But the exhibition goes beyond the surface, shining a spotlight on Campbell’s activism. Her work with the Black Girls Coalition and The Diversity Coalition, plus her support for emerging talent through Arise Fashion Week and EMERGE, reveal a legacy that’s as much about breaking barriers as it is about breaking the internet. In this showcase, style meets substance—and the runway leads to real change. #NaomiCampbell #VAMuseum #FashionExhibition #Culture
