But Campbell’s people deny it. “Everything went as planned,” said a Campbell rep.

In the end, she closed the show at Lincoln Center in an Oscar de la Renta gown. A rep for IMG Models, which reps Campbell, said she “was very happy to walk in the FNO Vogue show.” The magazine, too, maintains Campbell was a welcome addition and caused no problems. “Naomi was on time, professional and a joy to work with,” said Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour in a statement.
