Put away your mobile phones, it’s time to pay tribute to the icon who opened Versace<\/a> couture<\/a>. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Naomi<\/a><\/p>\n

In case you’ve been living under a rock, Naomi Campbell<\/a> kicked off the autumn\/winter 2013 haute couture collections<\/a> in Paris last night by opening Versace<\/a>. This is kind of amazing<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Campbell shot to superstardom as one of Gianni’s favorite models (she still describes him as a “brother”). But she hasn’t worked with the label for 15 years since she fell out with Donatella<\/a> – Campbell announced at an impromptu press conference that the latter had been “treating [her] like a stranger for months<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

Happily, it seems that the two have patched up just in time for AW13. As Donatella puts it: “I started this Atelier Versace collection by dreaming about the perfect aesthetic of the black-and-white era. I wanted to make it new, and pictured a sexy and sophisticated woman with a strong attitude. Only a true icon like Naomi Campbell could open this show.”<\/p>\n

After all, nothing screams Naomi Campbell more than a plunging, bejeweled basque. So in honour of Campbell’s return to the runway, we thought we’d list 12 more of our favourite Naomi moments.<\/p>\n

\"Naomi<\/a><\/p>\n

1. That time she raced a cheetah<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jean-Paul Goude’s spin on Richard Avedon’s 50s photographs saw Campbell run with a cheetah for Harper’s Bazaar. Obviously, the cheetah lost.<\/p>\n

\"Naomi<\/a><\/p>\n

2. That time she wore a crotchtastic Chanel bikini<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not everyone can get away with a Chanel<\/a>-branded crotch logo. Unless you’re Naomi Campbell, that is. <\/p>\n

3. That time she fell over at a Vivienne Westwood show and just styled it out<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most models look terrified when they slip on the runway. In 1993, Naomi made it look fun.<\/p>\n
