Naomi Campbell who turned 40 this year shared some thoughts about aging and fashion industry in her recent interview in German newspaper Welt am Sonntag.
The supermodel said: "I've got my mum and her good genes! I don't worry about my age, on the contrary, I like telling people I'm 40. When you worry too much, you will show these worries. I try to avoid that. I eat healthily, I don't drink - not as a matter of principle, but because it's not good for me."
She also expressed her disappointment with white-women dominated fashion industry: "The lack of black women at fashion shows in Paris makes me really sad, because I thought it would get better. I didn't work 25 years for black women to be ignored (…) I don't want to appear pessimistic though, that doesn't suit me. However, it means as a black woman you have to prove yourself even more. You have to give 110 percent. I was brought up to do so anyway, though. I still have that drive and enthusiasm."
