An Ode to the Original Party Girl: Naomi Campbell

Tonight, Marc Jacobs will be throwing a disco-themed party in honor of the original party girl model, Naomi Campbell. Really, no fashion party is complete without one of her dramatic entrances. Naomi has been a nightlife fixture since the '90s, partying with friends like the original Supers Kate Moss, Cindy Crawford, and Linda Evangelista at Les Bains in Paris or at Sound Factory in New York. She's also known for her extravagant birthday parties, where everyone from Madonna to Diddy has shown up to wish her another year of good fun. Jacobs is the perfect host for another party in her honor - this time to mark the publication of the Taschen anthology about the supermodel - because the two of them have been dancing partners since the very beginning of their careers. But, as these photos reveal, he's far from her only traveling companion.
