<p>The supermodel said diversity in fashion and advertising has improved but that progress has come late and there is more to be done.</p>
<p>The catwalk queen spoke ahead of an appearance at the One Young World (OYW) summit closing ceremony, an organisation she said is needed now more than ever in a divided political world.</p>
<p>In an interview with the Press Association on Saturday in The Hague she said: <em>“I picked up a Hello! magazine today and if I was not from London I would think ‘My god, London is completely whitewashed’.</em></p>
<p><em>“That’s what it sells you, it’s awful.</em></p>
<p><em>“London is one of the most diverse cities and cosmopolitan cities in the world and we have a huge diversity of people.”</em></p>
<p>Of the magazine she said: <em>“I was shocked. I was just like ‘wow’.”</em></p>

<p>Campbell credited her friend Edward Enninful who took over as editor of British Vogue last year, with helping to bring about change in the industry.</p>
<p>She said: <em>“It’s (his editorship) uniting a whole different culture of people and innovations, and young people coming together and speaking out and I hope that it continues, it will continue to stay that way, not going back.”</em></p>
<p>Campbell, who began modelling as a young teen, said while she is an optimistic person, change with regard to diversity in fashion has been a long time coming.</p>
<p>She said: <em>“I’m more the person that will say better late than never – but it’s late.”</em></p>
<p>She added: <em>“This season was a great improvement, and when I say great improvement, not just in fashion shows, in seeing diversity in advertisement.”</em></p>

<p>She said bringing young people together from across the world to share ideas and work for change is “fantastic”.</p>
<p><em>“I think it’s the perfect time if we do go through with it (Brexit),”</em> she said.</p>
<p><em>“I’m not going to go into politics, I never do. But I just feel that it’s a very important time for everyone to be united together on a platform like this. And I think it’s wonderful that they (young people) have a place that they can come and view their opinions, share their stories, their strengths, their hopes and see what other peers come on board with them.”</em></p>
<p>The annual summit, which has previously featured speakers including Meghan Markle, before she became the Duchess of Sussex, will celebrate its 10-year anniversary next year.</p>
<p>It brings together young people from across 196 countries who are already making efforts to tackle issues ranging from climate change to conflict resolution, and human rights to diversity.</p>
