During a recent fashion event, a scheduling mishap led to a public spat between two prominent figures in the industry. Vogue's editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour, reportedly moved up the timing of the event, causing supermodel Naomi Campbell to arrive late. This incident unfolded at Harlem's Fashion Row Fashion Show and Style Awards in the USA.
According to sources close to Campbell, she arrived at the designated time instructed by the event producers. Wintour's decision to leave early to attend the US Open tennis tournament resulted in Campbell feeling snubbed and prompted a heated exchange between the two on stage.
Footage of the event went viral, showing Wintour teasing Campbell for her tardiness, leading to a back-and-forth between the two fashion icons. Despite the tension, Campbell eventually received the Fashion Icon Award at the event.
In her acceptance speech, Campbell acknowledged her reputation for being late but expressed gratitude for the opportunity to be present. She emphasized the importance of being in Harlem and gracefully addressed the situation, stating that things would work out as intended.
Following the event, Campbell appeared unfazed by the incident and made a stylish appearance at a New York Fashion Week party. She attended the Bulgari Studio Party, where she impressed in a black dress and mingled with other celebrities.
The clash between Wintour and Campbell highlighted the challenges of managing busy schedules in the fashion industry and the importance of professionalism in such high-profile events.
