Naomi announced at the end of May that she had welcomed a little girl by sharing a photo on social networks.

And her daughter looked comfortable in the multi-colored Versace jumpsuit as she lay in her bed.

Naomi was Gianni’s muse, and the couple developed an extremely close friendship while working side-by-side in the fashion industry.

Speaking to Vogue Italia in a previous interview, Naomi revealed that Gianni saved her life on several occasions.

The model revealed, “I can hear it in my mind, telling me not to do this, to get out of this situation. And I obey. I owe him to be still alive.”

Naomi was one of the most prominent models nicknamed Gianni’s Girls, as they paraded exclusively for him.

She told Vogue: “He was the first to recognize our individuality and pay us accordingly.

“He was also the first to introduce the concept of exclusivity: you flew to Milan or Paris, and you walked only for him.

Gianni was killed outside his Miami mansion by Andrew Cunanan, a former prostitute turned serial killer.

Andrew shot the famous 50-year-old fashion designer on the porch of his golden mansion on July 15, 1997.

Curious tourists pose for photos every day in front of the imposing wrought-iron gate where Versace was shot twice in the head at close range.

Eight days after the assassination, Andrew, who was also wanted for the murders of four other gay men from Minnesota to New Jersey, committed suicide with the same gun he used to kill Versace.

“You would only work for him”: Naomi was one of the few carefully selected “Gianni’s Girls” who would only step onto the catwalk for Versace and no other designer (pictured in 1992 with Carla Bruni)
