Naomi’s which will open 22 June 2024 and run until 6 April 2025 will feature past and present pieces of designers who helped shape her early career.
Pieces from Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Alexander McQueen, Jean Paul Gaultier, Virgil Abloh and more set to be included in the enhibition.
The first confirmed gown appearing on display is a Valentino pink feathered and lace gown which Naomi wore to the Met Gala in 2019.
Originally from south London, Naomi established herself among the top three most recognizable and in-demand models of the late 1980s.
Just before she turned 16, she was on the cover of British Elle and in 1987, she became British Vogue’s first black cover girl since 1966.
The model surprised fans earlier this year by revealing she’d joined forces with the online fashion retailer PrettyLittleThing to create her Designed by Naomi Campbell collection.
And in a new two-part film, Naomi revealed she didn’t think the ‘younger generation’ even knew who she was.
Naomi could be seen donning a number of fashionable looks as she let the camera behind-the-scenes and gave a look at the creative process into her collection.

She told the camera: ‘I get to speak to a younger generation of which I didn’t think even knew who I was.’
‘When I think fashion, fashion does not discriminate. I can’t wait to see all these lovely young women wearing my designs.’
She added: ‘I want young girls to take from this collection to be themselves, to feel confident in how they wear these clothes and designed by me and interpret who they are in the clothes. So bringing their own essence, style swag to the outfits.’
The stunner speaks to designers about several pieces in the fashion range, hailing a black blazer dress a ‘classic’, while noting a racy crystal dress needed to be ‘longer’.
The clip also sees Naomi examining mood boards, attending fittings and declaring which looks work and don’t work as she put in the graft ahead of a photoshoot and of course her NYFW week show which debuted the 90-piece collection.
