Naomi Campbell

V Magazine Photoshoot

Ms Campbell sees no harm in the dark, suggestive imagery. In an interview with the magazine, the 41-year-old model says she was willing to take part in the shoot because of Mr Almodovar's 'indelible' artistic mark.

'I only know Pedro socially. However, what I have always liked about Pedro is that his films perfectly combine passion, intelligence and style with a twist of humour – leaving his indelible mark on everything he does,' she said.

'I think that was the essence Sebastian [Faena] drew upon for our cover photo shoot.'

The infamously hot-tempered model from London jokes about her reputation for being outspoken and often highly undiplomatic:

'I’m sure some have wanted to ‘tie me up and tie me down’ and perhaps others wanted to tape my mouth shut! But this is something I would only permit for this issue dedicated to Pedro [Almodovar] as he always does everything “tongue-in-cheek."'
