I never thought that even the world of fashion I can also indeed conquer.
With my large collection of friends from various industries, I was invited to be one of the VIP guests to grace the ground breaking rites of Fashion Cafe Manila branch.
Campbell's next venture was the restaurant business. In 1995 she, along with fellow models Elle MacPherson, Claudia Schiffer, and Christy Turlington, and Italian restaurateur Tommaso Buti, launched the Fashion Café. The restaurant and coffee house first opened in New York City, and was situated in Rockefeller Center. Patrons entered the restaurant through a door shaped like a giant camera lens and serving staff carried cuisine down a catwalk. The decor included a collection of fashion memorabilia, from Madonna's famous Jean-Paul Gaultier bustier to one of Elizabeth Taylor's wedding gowns. Branches in London, Jakarta, Barcelona, Mexico City, New Orleans, and Manila soon followed.
It was no less than Supermodel Naomi Campbell that opened the ceremony.
All the fashion gurus of Manila were there. Hosted by no less than Martin Nievera and Dawn Zulueta. It was launched at the former Gift Gate in Glorietta, Makati.
Me, donning my Replay black outfit was asked to sign their guest book at the entrance swooned by fans and spectators.
It was a large white paper using a purple pentel pen leaving my well wishings for the cafe.
Statuesque male and female models abound the Gift Gate area. Some celebrities I also spotted.
But Naomi was of course the main guest.
Everyone was so excited to see her. Movie and press people can't wait to catch a glimpse of her.
After the ground breaking rites at the 3rd floor, she immediately proceeded at the Gift gate area to meet her fans.
Then she came.
The way I looked at her in her casual clothes, she was gray in color, not that black in skin tone as presumed.
She was shining indeed and was very charming. No doubt that the camera lenses love her so much.
You could feel the star complex that she possesses. Everything went natural with her. Her smile, her glimpses while busy signing autographs on a piece of paper, napkins, shirts, and her coffee table book that was recently launched simply entitled -- Naomi.
Me and my friends stayed till the program ended.
I was given her poster, her advertising materials in nylon which I am now hanging in my room.
I was also given a yellow hard hat as souvenir during the launching and was gladly signed by Martin Nievera when he was still hosting his MAD show.
