		</div><p>Naomi Campbell has claimed a photo of her was rejected because of her “skin colour”.</p>
<p>The British supermodel said she was told a picture of her would not be used for a campaign in an Asian country.</p>
<p>Campbell said that the country in question “has to be shown” a different approach to race, but did not name either the nation or the campaign in question.</p>
<p>The model spoke to the BBC about her experiences, and said she was shocked at the decision because of her Asian “gene”.</p>
<p>She said: <em>“Something happened to me the other day and I was quite taken aback.</em></p>
<p><em>“I did a campaign for someone and I was told one of the countries in Asia won’t use the picture because of the colour of my skin.</em></p>
<p><em>“It doesn’t stop me. That’s just another country that has to be shown that it is ignorant and that is not the way of the world right now on the global scale.</em></p>
<p><em>“I’m not trying to convince. I’m just trying to be me and do what I do.”</em></p>
<p>She added on her own heritage: <em>“Ironically I have that gene in my family.”</em></p>
<p>Campbell has been championing the work of African fashion designers, and believes the industry has no place for intolerance.</p>
<p>She said: <em>“African designers deserve the right to be championed just like every others designer around the world .</em></p>
<p><em>“That’s what’s the wonderful thing about the world of fashion. It doesn’t discriminate, it shouldn’t.”</em></p>
<p>Campbell spoke to the BBC in Lagos, Nigeria, for Arise Fashion week.</p>
