Naomi Campbell for Fiorucci

Naomi has become a 'celebrity fashion designer' as Italian brand Fiorucci announced yesterday that she will be designing a 15-piece capsule collection, out next Spring.































Fiorucci said it made sense to team with Naomi as the company recently launched a selection of T-shirts printed with i-D Magazine covers featuring her: “The magazine chose Milan’s Fiorucci store for its Italian launch in 1982. It’s a great opportunity to revitalize the history of our brand.”










And the brand needs revitalising. We remember them being popular in the mid 90s but they seem to have quietly disappeared. We're sure Naomi can help put that to rights.

It does make us wonder how people without any formal fashion design training can so easily whip out collections. Victoria Beckham has never been to design school yet her eponymous clothing and more recently bag collection is a commercial and critical success with an army of celebrity fans including Jennifer Hudson, Eva Longoria and Demi Moore.

Same goes for Kate Moss for Longchamp and Topshop, Lily Allen and New Look (how she went from there to Chanel still surprises us), Daisy Lowe and Peacocks (aim high Daisy!) and Georgia May Jagger and Hudson Jeans.

Is fashion design really that easy? It certainly looks hard on Project Runway!
