Fashion feud: Naomi Campbell-Anna Wintour edition

At Harlem Fashion Row’s Fashion Show and Style Awards, things went from couture to catty.
In her opening speech, Vogue’s editor-in-chief Anna Wintour mentioned Naomi Campbell who was winning the Fashion Icon award, with the remark, “I am a very punctual person, and I have the honour of presenting tonight to someone who is often late.”
After serving that shot, Wintour left the event. According to a TMZ report, Campbell wasn’t actually late to the event; it was Anna who moved up the slot because she wanted to attend the US Open.
It was Harper’s Bazaar editor-in-chief Samira Nasr who presented the award to the supermodel. Campbell, accepting the award, said “It wasn’t my choice to have the other lady. I’d much rather have this,” she said, gesturing at Nasr. *gasp*
Campbell was reportedly also upset that Wintour’s early departure meant that young designers at the event would miss their opportunity to get face time with the Vogue boss.
