時尚模特兒看似只是年輕貌美的職業，但隨時代變遷，擁抱多元的時裝界時至今日已有不少sliver models的出現，模特兒的年齡不再如此單一，模特兒的職業壽命均被以往長得多。像Naomi Campbell昨晚在Instagram公佈入行33年的感言，中文翻譯如下：

They said I would only last 11 years, but here I am today celebrating 33 years in the business of fashion! I feel so blessed and grateful to God. I never thought that there would be a day when I would even convey such a message on social media! To my beautiful mother Valerie Morris @valeriemorriscampbell I thank you for believing in the dreams of a 3 year old and letting me be me. Your love and support has kept me going through good and bad times. I love you mum. To my family and friends that have been with me on this incredible journey throughout these years, stuck by me through thick and thin , you know who you are and I thank you. I go from plane to plane from city to city almost daily and I’m constantly working. My friends are always telling me to slow down and rest but I’m at a point in my career where my vision is crystal clear, and for now I’m on a mission. A mission to nurture the new and next generation. A mission to ensure that my industry – the fashion industry – is a place that’s diverse and of equal opportunity and I’m on a mission to change the narrative and perception of the great continent of Africa! I do believe that I will rest when God wants me to, but until then I’ll keep going! Love you all Loads Naomi ??♥️?? ? Steven Meisel

他們說我只能在行業待上11年，但今天的我已經在慶祝33年了！我感到很幸福，並感激上帝。我從未想過有一天會在社交媒體上傳達這樣的信息！

致我美麗的母親Valerie Morris，感謝你相信我3歲時的夢想，讓我成為現時的我。你的愛和支持讓我能渡過好與壞的時光。我愛你媽媽。

對於這些年來一直伴隨著我經過這段令人難以置信的旅程的家人和朋友們，我感謝你們的陪伴。

我幾乎每天都會從一個城市到另一個城市，生活在飛機上來來去去，我一直在工作。我的朋友總是勸我休息，但我正處於職業生涯的某個階段，我的視野非常清晰，現在我正在執行任務。培養新一代和下一代的使命。我們的使命是確保我的行業 – 時尚產業 – 是一個多元化和機會平等的地方，我的使命是改變別人對非洲大陸的觀念！

我相信當上帝要我休息我便會休息，但在那之前我會繼續前進！

愛你們所有的負擔
Naomi
