A couple of years back, Naomi Campbell caused an uproar in the media because she refused to sport delinquent chic outfits to community service.

Campbell appeared at the New York City Sanitation Department Depot on each day of  her week-long court ordered community service in style back in ’07 for striking her housekeeper in the head with her Blackberry.

The model explained her community service fashion choices to Grazia:

Grazia: It is so fabulous that you wore this to do community service!

Naomi Campbell: Well, I was done! Here, I was leaving for the day, I had finished!

G: But you wore couture every day, right?

N: Yep! Why shouldn’t I have done? Why should they expect me to go looking bedraggled or something?

G: When did you decide to dress like that?

N: I didn’t, it wasn’t planned at all. I decided on the day and I still gave them what they wanted, it didn’t stop me from doing what I had to do though.

G: You even did the work in the heels?

N: No. Not the heels! I wore boots – only heels when I was arriving and leaving!
