Naomi Campbell, who has 30 years of experience in the fashion industry, jumped at the chance to take part in Kanye West’s Yeezy Season 3 show at Madison Square Garden last year, but the 46-year-old model admitted she found it unusual that there was no running order — Kanye called the models to the stage when he “felt it organically.”

Speaking to legendary editor and journalist Glenn O’Brien for his M2M.tv series, Tea at the Beatrice, she explained: “I never did anything like that before. Of course I said yes right away because I’ve always wanted to walk in Madison Square Garden, so I was like, ‘Yep, I wanna do it.’”

“When we were in the dressing room getting ready, I said, ‘How is Kanye gonna call us?’ and they said, ‘Mr. West is going to call you when he feels it organically,‘” Campbell said.

“I normally never get dressed right away, but I was worried that he would call me when I wasn’t ready so I said, ‘Let me just get dressed now.’ And that was it; they came in and said, ‘He’s feeling it now —come, come.’ Thank goodness I was dressed.”

“But it was fun – I’ve never done a show with 11,000 people.”
