On Monday, Naomi Campbell announced on Instagram that she would be interviewing fashion designer Diane von Fürstenberg the next day.
A day later, an excerpt from the conversation was available in her account.
But between those two messages, she had something else to announce on Instagram: her motherhood.

Naomi Campbell, who was 51 on Saturday, became the mother of a daughter when she was 50. One could also say: She became a mother in the same way that men naturally become fathers. In the best age. In terms of career, it is so good that it hardly limits the time of the arrival of a human child. A post against our global understanding of motherhood. An example of how it works.
Sure, women don't have to be around 32 for a long time, married, have become pregnant naturally and don't have to worry about anything other than childbirth in order to have a child. And at the same time, pregnancy and having children are a big topic on Instagram: # ssw12, #bigbelly Tuesday, delivery room posts, the first photo with the baby, and a lot of consumption around it.

Fashion can make others feel bad.
This is what the first learners in the schoolyard if they don't own branded sneakers or don't own a branded Woom bike today.
But the fashion of using pregnancy and the baby as props for self-expression can make others, whose lives seem less glamorous, feel even worse.
Nevertheless, such contributions are very successful.
Unlike usual on Instagram, Naomi Campbell saves us the details: how it was at the fertility center, what relationship she has with the surrogate mother, how the adoption process went.
Her comment on this pair of feet: "A wonderful little blessing chose me as his mother."
