In a quiet moment away from the runway’s glare, Naomi Campbell was recently seen in the picturesque Italian coastal town of Portofino. The occasion was a personal pilgrimage to the gravesite of the late Franca Sozzani, the influential former editor-in-chief of Vogue Italia, who passed away in 2016.
Accompanied by Piero Piazzi, head of the Elite Model agency, the supermodel carried a bouquet of white roses. Her attire, a vibrant multicolored maxi skirt paired with a black blouse, presented her signature bold style against the backdrop of a solemn visit. During the outing, Campbell was photographed tying her hair back and appearing to wipe her eyes, suggesting an emotional moment of remembrance for her friend and industry mentor.
Piazzi offered quiet support, dressed in a casual ensemble of white trousers and a blue shirt. The visit underscores the deep personal and professional bonds within the fashion world, highlighting Sozzani’s lasting legacy.
This reflective trip follows a period of heightened public scrutiny for Campbell, after her name appeared among the contacts in the recently disclosed records associated with the late financier Jeffrey Epstein. In a prior statement addressing the matter, Campbell has forcefully distanced herself from Epstein’s crimes, expressing solidarity with victims and condemning his actions.
