Event

About

Naomi Campbell's 1993 fall on Vivienne Westwood's runway is an iconic moment in fashion history. During a show, Campbell, then 23, was modeling a outfit that included a plaid skirt and a pink feather boa. The focus of attention, however, was her pair of extremely high Vivienne Westwood platform shoes. As she walked down the catwalk, she took a dramatic tumble but quickly regained her composure and continued walking, earning admiration for her professionalism. The incident became a defining moment for Campbell, showcasing her resilience and ability to handle unexpected situations with grace. In later years, Campbell revisited the infamous shoes on The Jonathan Ross Show, where she walked in them without incident. This contrast highlighted her growth and confidence as a model. The fall remains a celebrated example of Campbell's enduring presence in the fashion world, symbolizing both the challenges and triumphs of her career.
