Naomi wants to end her feud with Posh
Naomi Campbell wants to bury the hatchet and end her seven year feud with Victoria Beckham.
The 37-year-old fell out with skinny Posh after she called Naomi "a massive cow" on her TV show Victoria's Secrets.
She made the remarks after the Streatham-born supermodel asked, sarcastically, why she was called "Posh" spice.
Now Naomi plans to ask Victoria to take part in a catwalk show raising cash for UK flood victims.
The event Fashion for Relief will be held at the Natural History Museum at the end of London Fashion Week, on September 20.
Naomi has teamed up with the Rotary Club to organise the show.
Talking to London Lite about Posh, Naomi said:
"I will approach her because she is such a massive fashion personality.
"But with her living in LA, I'm not sure what her schedule permits. I would love her to join us."
Naomi has hijacked mates Yasmin Le Bon, Elle Macpherson, Jodie Kidd, Leah Wood and footballer Rio Ferdinand to take part.
Croydon-born pal Kate Moss will contribute as a designer, as she does not like doing the catwalk anymore, added Naomi.

Naomi begins community service
Naomi Campbell, wearing black stilettos and slinging dark work boots over her shoulder, traded the catwalk for community service Monday at a sanitation garage to start a five-day sentence for assaulting her maid.
The 36-year-old supermodel arrived at the Manhattan District 3 Garage at Pier 36 on the Hudson in a black sport utility vehicle. She'll be pushing a broom or mop at the garage for her guilty plea to misdemeanor assault for throwing a cell phone at her maid over a pair of missing jeans.
Campbell was met by a garage official who escorted her through the building's dirty, steel double doors. She also wore chocolate brown pants, a short fitted coat with a flared bottom, dark sunglasses and a newsboy-type cap over a short hairdo.
She didn't acknowledge the horde of assembled media.
'Miss Campbell arrived on time to work. She came ready to work,' Albert Durrell, deputy chief of the Department of Sanitation, told reporters at a briefing outside the facility.
It's the same sanitation depot where former Culture Club frontman Boy George performed his five-day community service stint in August. He pleaded guilty for falsely reporting a burglary at his lower Manhattan apartment. The responding officers found cocaine instead.
Unlike George, who performed his duties outdoors in full view of TV cameras, Campbell will work inside the garage. She was issued protective gloves, dust mask and reflective orange vest.
'We have plenty of work for her to do over the next five days,' Durrell said.
Because of her celebrity status, sanitation police officers will be stationed at each entrance of the facility, Durrell said.

Naomi Campbell to mop floors
Supermodel Naomi Campbell will swap her catwalk outfits for a broom, gloves and safety vest when she begins mopping floors at New York's Sanitation Department on March 19, a court official confirmed Tuesday.
But Campbell, who was sentenced to community service as punishment for throwing her mobile phone at her housekeeper, will serve her five-day sentence indoors. Sexy Naomi, who recently stripped for a photoshoot in men’s magazine GQ, could have faced up to seven years in prison before her lawyers struck a deal.
Singer Boy George attracted a media throng when he swept streets in a court-ordered punishment in August.
The New York Post reported Tuesday that Campbell had been assigned to mop floors with other community service workers at a Sanitation Department warehouse in Manhattan. A court official confirmed the story but declined further comment.
Hothead Naomi was arrested in March last year after hurling a diamond-encrusted mobile phone at maid Ana Scolavino, who needed four stitches in a head wound.
Ana said the model went berserk, claiming she had pinched jeans she planned to wear on a TV show. Naomi will also attend anger management classes in a bid to curb her wild temper.
The London-born beauty has claimed "tiredness, lack of sleep and just so many things" sparked the attack in New York last year.
She said:
"I have a deep sense of shame. I do therapy every day. I was really being destructive to myself. I didn’t know how to ask for help."
Campbell, 36, has been accused by at least three employees of hitting or otherwise assaulting them. She has also blamed her temper on lingering resentment toward her father for abandoning her as a child.
