Naomi Campbell to coach aspiring models

Naomi Campbell is throwing her hat into the reality TV ring. The occasionally temperamental supermodel has signed on to serve as one of the coaches on Oxygen’s upcoming unscripted offering The Face.

The series, which comes as part of Oxygen’s push to boost its original programming by 50 per cent, will feature three supermodel coaches leading and mentoring their teams of aspiring models through the ins and outs of the modelling world.

“Throughout the series, the supermodel coaches will mentor these young hopefuls through the tricks of the trade while exposing them to the very best photographers, stylists and designers in the fashion world,” Oxygen said of the series.

The winning contestant of the series will receive a contract to model for a major national brand.

The show’s other coaches, as well as the brand that the contestants will be vying to represent, will be announced at a later date.

“I am looking forward to discover the next beautiful face of the modelling world,” Campbell said of the series. “With The Face the audience will get a real insider’s look at this exciting industry that has been so good to me.”
