Model and actress Naomi Campbell has announced she is embarking on a new huge business venture in Dubai . The 52-year-old has teamed up with Pretty Little Thing founder Umar Kamani to launch a talent and partnership agency. Called KC Global Partnerships, the agency will open this month at Dubai Hills Business Park in the United Arab Emirates.
It will focus on partnerships between talents, brands, celebrities, industry leaders and experts. As part of the announcement, Naomi and Umar announced two directors of the business venture - Amy Simon, who joins as director of PR, and Sufeena Hussain taking on the role of partnerships director. Naomi said: "Dubai has become a global hub for talent, brands, and innovation.
Throughout my career, I've experienced first hand the power of meaningful relationships in driving success and creating opportunities. It's not just about who you know; it's about bringing the right people together at the right time. That's what we're doing with KC Global Partnerships, but on a much larger scale.
" And her business partner, the CEO of Pretty Little Thing, added: "In Dubai and across the region, we see immense potential to transform how talent and brands interact. Our vision goes beyond facilitating mere transactions. Our platform is designed to nurture authentic, long-term partnerships, creating real value for everyone involved.
KC Global Partnerships isn't just about connecting people – it's about fostering a collaborative ecosystem that will spark innovation, fuel business expansion, and promote cross-cultural interchange throughout Dubai and beyond." It comes just days after Kamani, who stepped down from Pretty Little Thing last April, announced his return to the fast fashion retailer, promising to make the brand special again. He described his return as "the beginning of a new chapter for the fashion giant" as he vowed to "put customers at the forefront" of every business decision.
The founder shared in an Instagram post: "Over the past few years, I’ve watched from the sidelines as the brand we built together has, at times, lost touch with what made it so special – you, our loyal customers. This has driven me to step back in and take on the responsibility of steering Pretty Little Thing forward, putting your needs and desires at the forefront of every decision we make. "I sincerely apologise for any negative experiences you may have encountered during my absence.
I take full responsibility from this moment on, and I am committed to making sure your experiences with us are nothing short of exceptional moving forward. Thank you for your continued support and for giving me the opportunity to guide PrettyLittleThing into its next exciting chapter. I won’t let you down.
We’ve always been one big PLT family, and now we will be stronger than ever." Follow Mirror Celebs on TikTok , Snapchat , Instagram , Twitter , Facebook , YouTube and Threads ..
