With everyone comparing Cara Delevingne to Kate Moss as of late, Naomi Campbell has voiced her opinion on the subject, admitting that she doesn't think Cara is "the next Kate Moss" because she believes there is only one Kate:
''Cara is Cara Delevingne, Kate is Kate Moss. People are just saying that because she is the same height as Kate. But there is only going to be one Kate Moss. Kate is an icon. Cara may become an icon: who knows how long she wants to do it for? It has just begun for her and she is doing amazingly well... I was actually asked to speak to Cara, but I don't know her very well. I've met her a few times and she's been very pleasant. I haven't spoken to her properly yet. For me the timing has to be right.''
Naomi also says that she loves mentoring younger girls who are starting out in the industry and she reveals that she even took a young Kate Moss under her wing at the beginning of her career:
''I love mentoring young girls. I've always been like that. When I told Kate Moss about the show, how I was mentoring these young girls, she watched the US show and then she said, 'Naomi, I was your first.' It's true. I looked after her when she first started out; she lived with me in New York. She was amazing already: she had the book, she had the jobs, but I'd tell her what people were like, how she should be with certain people. We're still good friends. All of us [supermodels], we've all stayed close, we're all still there.''
