Born in Somalia, and raised in East Africa, Iman first caught the attention of the fashion world soon after she turned 20. And very soon, she became a supermodel, as photographers and designers recognized her extraordinary beauty and grace.

She is frequently seen with other beautiful people, from Hollywood and elsewhere around the world. She was married to David Bowie.

I met Iman in 2005, when she published a book of beauty advice for women of color.

so here now, from 2005, Iman.
