Naomi Campbell Dishes On Wearing Couture To Perform Court-Ordered Community Service In 2007 (PHOTOS, POLL)

First Posted: 12/16/10 02:13 PM ET   Updated: 05/25/11 07:20 PM ET

Grazia recently caught up with supermodel Naomi Campbell and, among other things, the magazine spoke to her about her 2007 court-ordered community service stint.

She had to toil at the New York City Sanitation Department Depot after pleading guilty to hitting her housekeeper in the head with a cell phone...and she got gussied up to work each day -- ending her week in a Dolce & Gabbana gown and stilettos, if you remember.

So what did Miss Campbell have to say about her community service couture?

Grazia: But you wore couture every day, right?

Naomi: Yep! Why shouldn't I have done? Why should they expect me to go looking bedraggled or something?

Grazia: When did you decide to dress like that?

Naomi: I didn't, it wasn't planned at all. I decided on the day and I still gave them what they wanted, it didn't stop me from doing what I had to do though.

She noted that she changed into boots to actually do the work.

Take a look at Naomi's community service looks from 2007:

Those jackets, whether horrific real fur or faux fur, were just plain ugly in my opinion.

Well, she's got style. And the uber rich never really learn their lesson because the law and society favors them. Especially if they're beautiful like she is.

Because she's certified crazy. She needs attention 24-7 but once she gets it she freaks out by her propensity towards violent behavior.

I actually dressed Naomi, and she was one of the sweetest people I have ever met! If a man is assertive and knows what he wants he's called a saavy businessman but if a woman does the same she is castigated as a b%ch...

Smirking egotistical bytch.

I wonder if she would have been smiling like that if she had been smacked around in prison for a few months.

What a waste of oxygen

If she was asked to wear a hemp potato-bag, she by herself would make it look like couture.

Damn it. Then I shouldn't had worn that dress from K-Mart. Stale in comparison to Naomi.
