Campbell's designer friends to star in The FaceNaomi Campbell is set to begin filming of talent show The Face in New York early next month.

The model is said to have enlisted the help of designer pals Marc Jacobs and Zac Posen to find the next modelling sensation.

The two designers have been approached to take a role on the Oxygen show, although it has not been specified what part they would play, The New York Post reports.

Top model Karolina Kurkova is believed to be on the judging panel.

The Face will take on a similar format to hugely successful TV show America’s Next Top Model, fronted by Naomi’s former rival Tyra Banks.

The main prize is a contract to become the face of a major fashion brand.

Last month, Naomi described the kind of mannequin she is looking for.

“The whole package – a beautiful face; healthy, toned body; unique look; interesting personality; confidence; and, above all, strong work ethic and drive. I’m seeking someone who possesses a global, worldly outlook, but can also be seen as a home-grown girl next door,” she told Vogue.
