To capture all the behind-the-scenes madness, Vogue.com took its cameras to the set.

Though she and James are now a family unit with two sons, one can't help but notice the diamondless finger on Brinson's left hand. She says a wedding is not on the horizon, though she has been dreaming about that day since she was six. "I've definitely not put a fire under his ass," she says. "I would never rush him to do something like that. We're really comfortable with the way things are now. And it's not up to me. When it happens, it happens.
"We talk about it. If we do it, I want it to be forever," she continues. Until then, Brinson knows that the blogosphere will continue to refer to her as James's baby mama. She's not bothered by the description but makes it clear that she feels like she's more than a catchphrase. "I'm the mother of his children," she says proudly. "I'm not a baby mama. There's a lot more to me than that." -- [ SOURCE ]
Both White and Farrow were present at the dinner in September 1997 at which Campbell and Taylor met. Before White took the stand, Farrow testified that Campbell knew exactly who sent her diamonds after the dinner. Defense lawyers responded by playing an ABC News report on the alleged "blood diamond" gift that aired on Nightline, and tried to suggest that it showed Farrow was biased.
The prosecution first learned of the alleged gift of "blood diamonds" from Farrow. After an ABC News report on the alleged gift, Carole White came forward and told prosecutors that she was also at the dinner, and was with Campbell later that evening when a group of Taylor's men delivered a half-dozen uncut diamonds.
Campbell was "disappointed" by the stones, according to White's lawyer Daniel Bright, because they were not yet cut to sparkle like the diamonds used in jewelry.
Farrow told ABC News that she saw Campbell the morning after the dinner. According to Farrow, Campbell was "all a-twitter" when she recounted how she was given "a huge diamond" by Taylor's men in the middle of the night. -- [ SOURCE ]
British supermodel Naomi Campbell has given testimony at the trial of former Liberian President Charles Taylor in The Hague. She's alleged to have received diamonds from Taylor after a dinner hosted by Nelson Mandela in 1997. Campbell admitted to receiving what she described as a few 'dirty-looking' stones, which she later gave to charity. Taylor's accused of selling diamonds to finance a civil war in Sierra Leone. He denies the charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Francesco De Molfetta, 31, said he created the work to “denounce a society based on the cult of appearance through the use of a brand that represents the search for ephemeral happiness.”
