CAMPBELL SCOUTS KENYA FOR TOP BLACK MODELS
Veteran supermodel NAOMI CAMPBELL has gone on a mission around Africa to recruit more black supermodels. The 37-year-old beauty has contacted scouts in Kenya to start looking for talent and plans to set up an agency in Nairobi.
Speaking in Kenya at the weekend (18-19Aug07), Campbell explains, "I believe there are pretty girls from your lovely country who can grace the international catwalk and the front pages of fashion magazines.
"Anything which increases the pool of African talent is a good thing, but it will be a while before we see a big change in the industry." Elite, the world’s biggest modelling agency, set up an office in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, four years ago (02), but it has since closed.
