Supermodel Naomi Campbell and her tycoon partner seek interns for high-skilled agency jobs
An agency founded by supermodel Naomi Campbell and multimillionaire Umar Kamani is recruiting interns for jobs that require extensive experience.
Mr Kamani, the founder of online fast-fashion giant PrettyLittleThing, and Ms Campbell, who is reportedly worth £50 million, founded Dubai-based talent agency KC Global Partnerships in September.
In a job posting on Instagram, Amy Simon, the company’s director of public relations, said: “I’m looking for full-time interns. Please note: this is a full-time office position (10 p.m. – 5 p.m.) and travel expenses will be reimbursed.’
The advert states that they are looking for candidates who are ‘confident in carrying out a range of administrative tasks, have a keen interest in social media and are confident in uploading content for agency channels, assisting directors with their daily duties, including market research, assisting with new business decks and maintaining contact with customers.’

It also said that ‘experience working in a busy PR/Talent agency is preferred but not essential’.
The ad made no mention of salary, but did say the agency would pay for travel expenses.
When contacted by The Mail on Sunday yesterday, the company spokeswoman said that ‘internships are common’, adding: ‘Discussions about hourly rates are suggested during job interviews for transparency reasons, depending on the candidate’s involvement.’
A source familiar with the company said the role “appears to be more than just a bit of work experience.”
The insider added: ‘The skills required are quite high level for an intern. Such skills are usually for jobs that pay around £30,000 to £40,000.”
In May, Kamani, 36, who is said to have a fortune of £700million, spent £20million on his wedding to model Nada Adelle, 31.
A week after he and Mrs Campbell announced their business venture, it was revealed she had been barred from acting as a trustee for a charity after a British watchdog found money was being spent on luxury hotels and spa treatments.
