Naomi Campbell is trying to "heighten the glamour" of the early 2000s. The 54-year-old supermodel teamed up with luxury fashion brand BOSS for the launch of her exhibition 'Naomi: In Fashion' at the V+A Museum in London on Wednesday (19.06.

She told Elle: "Tonight's look is a true celebration of BOSS's renowned tailoring heritage, reimagined in an exquisite evening wear silhouette. The inspiration came straight from the BOSS archives.
Those tailored and plunging necklines and open backs from their very first womenswear collection back in 2001 really caught my eye. That's where we started and then we just heightened the glamour from there.

Plus, BOSS has a timeless style, a dedication to excellence and it celebrates strong, independent women — it aligns beautifully with my own vision and style." The catwalk star also noted that working with BOSS for the launch of her exhibition felt "very natural" after more than two years of working as an ambassador for them.
