Naomi tries on a new line
From Page six (lifted from yesterday's FWD really)
VETERAN supermodel Naomi Campbell is catwalking into the public relations biz. The headline-grabbing diva, 32, has launched NC.Connect, a lifestyle-branding and event-planning firm, PAGE SIX has learned. According to its Web site, the Manhattan-based outfit will specialize in "putting important people, exotic places and magnificent things together. From the boardroom to the first-class cabin to the showroom, NC.Connect takes business development and personal hospitality into uncharted territory." Campbell will be joined by partners Claudine Dematos of Whisper P.R. and longtime friend Desiree Ejoh. "Naomi's been wanting to do this for a few years," a pal told us. The company has so far snared the Amir Slama-designed Brazilian swimwear company Rosa Cha as a client, and will throw its Fashion Week after-party Sept. 19 at Man Ray. Campbell's fans needn't worry that the sybaritic supermodel is going to abandon her infamous attitude. Her firm's motto is "Work hard, play hard."
