The director, Leandre-Alain Baker, said of Katoucha: "She could go right from laughter to anger. But she always came back, and I attribute that to her past, what she ... lived through.".. watch this NEXT “Waris Dirie the cruelty of FEMALE ClRCUMClSlON! The Desert Flower!”

Beverly Peele reminds me of Katoucha. 😊
She was just a stellar beauty. I’m sure she had CPTSD, and abusers know when someone has been through something traumatic just by looking at them. The stats are high for someone who was abused to be abused again. So very sad doesn’t really qualify how devastating this is.
why was she called Barbie of Somalia when she is Guinean.
Where is Karen Alexander?
So glad you made this video of Katoucha. I modeled with her for a season in Paris, we did the Jean Louis-Scherrer show together. We were represented by the same agency in Paris. Her daughter is absolutely stunning and is a fashion model today too.
Thank you for introducing this beautiful woman to those of us who never heard of her.
Well said🤎🖤
Agreed. I never heard of this model and successful woman. RIP angel
I know right 😭 ❤
Never heard of her either.
She was beautiful
I’ve noticed comments saying that she abandoned her daughter… before judging please keep in mind that She was a 17yr old who had been repeatedly abused in the absolute worst ways imaginable. She was also choosing to escape from the people who failed to protect her and aided in her abuse. She left her daughter with the father’s family. And was later deemed incapable of caring for her 3 children due to mental and/or substance abuse issues. It’s just my opinion but I think she actually did what she thought was best for her daughter at the time. Sometimes love requires you to do hard things because it’s just the right thing to do 🖤🤎🖤
I believe that she made the best decision for her child. Considering her mental health.
People are so quick to judge and i hate it. No one knows what goes on behind closed doors
🤎🤎
I noticed the sadness in her eyes. Such a sad ending. No one ever knows what ppl r feeling. There’s a saying, “No one knows but he/she who feels it”.
Sometimes the designer’s clothes can be beautiful, but this lady made every outfit STUNNING! She was absolutely gorgeous!! RIP Katouscha
Such sad news! I walked the runways with Katoucha many times. Her beauty and grace struck me every time we worked together. Rest In Power Princess...
Yea ok
Are you the former Elite Model Patty (Shanti )Owen?❤
she pass away many years ago.
@@MandyAliens It's true, she was a popular fashion model. She's not lying, look her up.
Her name is Shanti Patty 0wen. She was also an actress.
Thank you for covering this. My family is Guinean, both of my parents born and raised there. We don’t have many superstars so I’ve always felt connected to her. The fashion world tried to hurry her name but alas she has prevailed through time and history. She was a strong woman who fought her way to the top. I always felt like her death was highly suspicious and an industry killing.
Absolutely!
Never heard of her but all I can say is: Stunning!!
.....you should watch videos of her WALKING....particularly for her BOO....YSL...she is one of the TECHNICALLY PERFECT runway models of all time....she is WITHOUT FLAW....
Your channel just found me and I’m excited to look at all your content!
🤎🖤
Never heard of her whilst she was living 🤦🏾♀️
I’m so sorry her life ended like this! But what an icon! I will continue to look her up. 🤎🖤🤎
Many glamorous lives have pain embedded in them too.
Unfortunately FGM is still an issue today🤦🏾♀️ and being done under cover in western countries including 🇬🇧 it’s still a taboo subject and it take’s GREAT courage to speak out!
May her gentle soul rest in peace 🙏🏾
Yes indeed. And I love the fact that her daughter Aiden picked up right behind her looking exactly like her twin on the runway. 🤎🖤
You summed it up PERFECTLY ! 💞🥰💞
I LOVED Katoucha.. She was my friend.I met her when she was 19...we was in the same Model Agency...A very complex woman, very intelligent, bright, funny, genereous,, but some people tooke advantage of her kindness
She had some few real friends around, and we all tryed to protectet her.. very moody , could laught and Be Angry a Hour later......Miss her very much....she was nothing like a Barbie girl, but a real woman whith the sens of reality, loved her 3 kids,
and loved African food...loved to party... loved ART and Politique....We laught so much...I MISS HER.. last time I saw her we was in Martinique....The rest is history...que Dieu te garde KAT!!
This is so kind of u betty
Sounds like she didnt love that first one too much.
Not trying to hate, and this is beautifully written, but is it true she abandoned her daughter?
Bless you
Light of heaven to her. What tragic life and Death she had. God love her and her Beautiful children and Protect them. In Jesus name. Amen
I do remember coming across this vision of a black goddess in the fashion pages of Ebony magazine. Katoucha was definitely a force to be reckoned with at the time. So sad to hear of her demise ✨️🖤🤎 R I P Katoucha 🙏🏽🕊
🤎🕯️🕊️🖤
Thank you for sharing this synopsis of Katoucha’s life. I had the privilege of doing her makeup backstage at shows and she was always so lovely but one sensed someone who was troubled. She was passionate about the causes she championed and therein lied her passion. YSL was like a father to her. She spoke about him as if he was family.
🤎🖤🤎😢
Thanks for sharing your experience with us ❤
That YSL was like family was comforting for me to hear. Everybody deserves to have someone who cares and guards them, buffering the difficulties of life.
wow xxoo
🤎🤍🖤
I was the one who ask for your review on katoucha she was my dearest friend we worked together for ages and I replaced her on France next top model. Thank you for sharing her story with your public on this platform ❤❤❤ actually on the catwalk she like black and brown but in real life she liked white
Sorry 😞 may she RIP 🙏🏻
Thank you for the request and my condolences for your loss ❤
🤍🤍
Thank you for keeping her memory alive 🙏🤎🖤🤍
🤎
Thank you for introducing us to Katoucha. She looked so beautiful and absolutely stunning. Such a queen 🤎🖤🤎🖤
Each photograph and outfit is more breathtaking than the last. Omg. ❤
Very mesmerizing
She was a underrated trailblazer and hero. She shined a spotlight on many critical issues for women and the African diaspora.
🤎🖤
She was a muse. That is all. She was a plaything. A body. Nothing to those that killed her. A super star used by demons and thrown out like garbage. She did nothing for Africa or Africans.
Think her children thought she was a hero? Just curious... 🤔
Katoucha was a good and nice person. I met her 3 times at Paris in 2001 at night club. She came to talk with me. She was polite and humble. ..I met her again in 2005 in Sénégal... May his soul rest in peace. ..Repose en paix Katoucha Niane. Que Dieu te garde et t'accorde sa miséricorde. Amine
I’ve been admiring this woman’s face my entire life without knowing her story. We live in such a cruel world. Rest in peace Katoucha 💔
Naomi Campbell has a better face
🙄
@@feartheghostinme675 and they both have a better face than ur mom
@@feartheghostinme675 It's fine that you think so, but seems a little irrelevant to this person's comment about admiring her face for a long time. They're both gorgeous women.
Absolutely stunning and unique… she doesn’t look like the other boring models
Her story is sad. She probably felt liken St. Laurant was the only one that truly saw her, knew her on a deeper level. Losing that is devastating in a particularly horrific way for some one with mental illness. The pain is too much for our brains to process. May she be at peace now. Stunning woman and I'm sad to say I had never heard of her but she looked familiar. I was born in 84. Thank you for sharing her story. ❤️
❤️🧡🖤
❤
He was a pedophile with berger too
A brilliantly beautiful soul with such a heartbreaking story. Her life was cut short way too soon. Rest In Power, Katoucha and thank you Karine for turning us on to such an amazing icon of style and feminism.
Oh WOWWWWW! She was BORN for the catwalk!!!!
May her soul rest in peace.
May her daughter be delivered from all family curses in the Name of Jesus 🙏🖤
Amen 🙏🏼
Amen 🙏🏽
Amen. She was beautiful
Amen!
It doesn't HAVE TO BE "in Jesus name".........sending White Light from the Highest Good.........
Why do so many celebrities die in water? Rather, it's in a tub, lake, river, ocean it's crazy!
Makes you wonder 😕
ILL....sacrifice.
@KarineAlourde I am sure it's more to the story why that is, but we will never know the truth. I love your videos. Keep up the good work.
Rituals
Water kingdom sacrifice?
Thank you for this beautiful movie about Katoush...
She was indeed a beautiful and mystical woman. She had this incredible deep voice and a Grace that was incomparable.
I was myself modeling years ago and I had the chance to meet her and spend time with her in Paris and in Senegal where I am from.
I also had the chance to walk the runaway in Senegal when she presented her collection as she was indeed also a fashion designer.
We miss you Katoush ❤
She is breathtaking 😮 her look, her walk. I was trying to figure out who I see in her face and it's Angela Bassett. Thank you for highlighting her story 🙏🏾🤎🖤🤍
I thought the same thing.
Yes
Definitely Bassett for sure!!
Naomi said Katoucha and Iman took her under their wings and helped her to become an icon!
She is the supermodel version of Angela Bassett
YES!!! I thought I was the only one who saw this about her! She truly was the *Supermodel* version of Angela Bassett. Im just so sad her life was full of psychological pain, and her death was so tragic. May she be surrounded by Angels in Heaven. 🙏
It's kinda funny how Naomi had black women take her under her wing & help elevate her, but she couldn't do the same for Tyra Banks. Tyra's now a known celebrity, but she's not STILL counted as a supermodel. She was intimidated by Naomi instead of nurtured..
❤️
@@silververnallbells191 People are not all the same in generosity unfortunately
@@silververnallbells191
It is not enough to be black.
You have to be excellent.
Tyra was NEVER supermodel material!
I am European we didn't even know (or care for) Tyra even when she occasionally walked for Chanel!
🤎🖤 love and hugs to you all. Thank you for being the window through which we could glance at this beautiful soul’s journey.
I have always loved Katoucha. First saw her in an Escada ad. She taught Naomi Campbell how to remove her jacket on stage. She was very Paris based which is why you never saw a great deal of her in the USA. I wish her book was translated into English.
....Naomi has also said that she taught about how to walk a cape too...
She also worked a lot in Italy. (Ferre, Armani, Valentino, Genny, Versace, Laura Biagotti, Krizia, Ferragamo, etc.)
@@re7416 ....and more than a little in the USA....CALVIN....BILL BLASS....OSCAR....
I really appreciate learning about Katoucha. I had never heard of her. I love learning Black woman like my self. So sorry about her bad treatment by her parents. Sad for the way her life ended. Please keep bringing us these types of stories.
Katusha was an absolutely beautiful & amazing woman! Her contributions to the modeling industry will never be forgotten. Rest in Paradise!🤎🖤
She abandoned her baby so not so amazing more, like a selfish woman.
I had the pleasure of meeting her in the late 80s in Milan. I was working as a Model. We met in a Fashionable Disco "Hollywood". I'll never forget how she stopped and said "Your beautiful" A beautiful, kind and gentle soul. Such a sad ending.
Such a sad end for a strong and beautiful woman who lived and survived such a lot of dreadful trauma
I remember seeing her in just about every magazine! She was absolutely gorgeous. I’m so sorry to learn of her death. 🙏🏾♥️
This was a beautiful tribute! As a girl growing up in the '80's, I would look at her pictures and be totally amazed...she was so regal and beautiful. She really was YSL's favorite muse. In pics, he would look at her like he couldn't believe she was real. I hope she is finally at peace.🤎🖤🧡
🤎🖤
Thank you for this video. I've never seen so many stunning photos of one woman before. Breathtakingly beautiful. May she Rest In Peace. 🧡🧡🙏🙏
Had not heard of Katusha before this vid. Greatly appreciated reading her story. A brave and heroic soul. May she rest in peace .
I had not heard of her either. She endured so much pain and did not get the love and nurturing a child should receive. I am glad that she lived her dream though. RIp Kartousha. 🤎🖤
Katoucha❤
Could you update this to add another of her achievements ?
She was more than just a model/muse.
She was also a fashion designer. For her first show, several Supermodels walked in it for her. Plus it was covered in American & French media.
what year was that and where?
Didn't know who she was! Thank you Karine! ❤
Merci Karine pour cette vidéo hommage à Katoucha. Une femme magnifique qui a marqué les esprits en France et ailleurs. Qu'elle repose en paix. ❤
Now thats a face❤❤ rip man. Its literally always the unproblematic ppl that go way too soon. Meanwhile evil lives forever❤❤🙏🏿
Money. Money lives forever.
Evil never dies. It seems to live forever & multiply.😢
This woman lived a triumphant life!
In the times she happened to be born in , her effervescence was not destroyed but her mother's violence to her or any other thing for many years of her life.
The murderer who destroyed her is the tragedy .
May the generations of women in liberty be met with respect forever.
It is better to live free then to be a hostage to nonsense.
Praise strong independent women.
Stop injuring ,holding hostage ,harrassing ,murdering girls and women.
So, why are you here?
There's a lesson to be learned. Humanity is slow to understand.
Katoucha Niane, our African Queen 🇸🇳. I was so pained to hear about her suspicious death. May she rest in peace 🙏🏾
Thankyou for this beautiful tribute to Katoucha.This woman rocked Yves Saint Laurent
Fashion shows ❤
I’m glad she found the inner strength to fight for her peace and freedom in life. Her life’s end is truly tragic and heartbreaking. I wish her children and those who genuinely loved her healing and the deepest of condolences🖤🤎🖤🤎🖤🤎🖤🤎🖤🤎
🤎🤎🤎🖤🖤🖤
Her daughter is a great model today : Aiden Curtiss Niane. Love her.❤
She always made a personal joke about her name : Katoucha, cat ou chat (cat or cat, chat meaning cat in French). Yves Saint Laurent refused her, after their first meeting, but her best friend and YSL muse, Rebecca Ayoko insisted on Yves Saint Laurent to meet Kat' another time and he finally saw her class on the runaway and they worked together. Gianfranco Ferré loved her personality, she worked for him while he was Christian Dior designer and all his shows. Kat was outspoken about Parisian designers "whom never hired black models, we knew where we shouldn't go for castings" !
I missed a rendez-vous with one friend who was her friend, he wanted to introduce me to Kat', but i wasn't free that afternoon, few weeks later, she disappeared and finally found dead. Very tragic.
That’s her second daughter. I wonder about the first one
I remember her. She was so elegant & graceful. I never knew that she was a victim of FGM. So many beautiful women have such tragic endings. I’d like to know further details on her death, it’s horrible. She was an icon. A beautiful soul❤️
They doing that stuff to boys and girls all over the USA now. Calling it healthcare.
Terrible misogynistic culture and religions
I've seen her face thousands of times. Never knew the story behind the BEAUTY. Thank you for giving her STORY the FACE it DESERVES.
🤎🖤 Katouscha's face is familiar, but I did not know her name or her story. Thank you for telling us about her. The music and the fashion montages were stunning!
A very beautiful tribute to a great lady of the runway!Rest in peace,Ms.Katoucha🤎🖤❤️
🤎🖤🤎
She was the definition of grace and class. She reminds me of SADE.
Ummmm 👀 they look nothing alike lol
Maybe more someone like Angela basset mixed with Naiomi Campbell with a slight grace Jones attitude just more feminine but as far as ethnicity wise features and looks she looks nothing like Sade.
@@melolabean7656 ....in this video she is wearing a gown made for GRACE....the rich purple gown with the hood....it was made by AZZEDINE ALAIA....HAUTE COUTURE OF COURSE....
@@melolabean7656great mixe. 👍
Beauty
Hello Karine, i 'm french, sorry for my bad english. Katoucha lived in a "péniche au bord de la Seine". She went in a restaurant with friends and came home late. Her shoes,the night and and little of alcool made her fall . It's an awfull accident. The acces to those boats/home is really tricky .
As a child i was a precocious artist of anatomy and portraiture. Later i became a designer and this goddess was one of my favorites. She was the ultimate muse, but for me, what set her apart was that distant pain in her eyes, which to a trained eye, could never be hidden. The artist in me LOVED people with depth, and this characteristic that she had couldn't be covered over with the typical "model" professional mask. When Katoucha was on stage she had an air that was one of a totally alluring mystery that beckoned you to come closer or....RUN ! That's what set her apart from the others. The perfect human embodiment of the Rose ! Now hearing her tragic life, i can understand where all this came from. I'm just really glad she had a time of genuine FUN and had that feeling of succeeding and making it....for we all know the majority of people who strive, but never get there ! Bravo Karine, You created another outstanding masterpiece ❣
your comment here is SO Poignant... this entire thing makes me cry; the video; the comments... I knew her when I lived there; I never saw her angry however heard tales!! I want to see your work?
again thank You for this lovingly written comment!
🤎🖤
Beautiful
Before I saw your comment, I too was gripped by the pain and sadness in her eyes (that you so aptly describe) that is so plainly visible to me. Some children experience a pain so deep that never ever goes away, no matter how big and bright your smile was/is or how famous you become. Female genital mutilation is still happening. It's sick and the worst thing is that it is the mothers and grandmothers who betray their daughters to have it done. I just can't fathom doing that to my beautiful daughters.
You write beautifully😊. Hope you continue…
Despite her troubled personal history this beautiful woman was a tireless advocate for women. My condolences to her family.
RIP🤎🖤
She is by far the best looking model I’ve ever seen! Her walk and presence is outta this world!!
🎯🎯🎯🎯
I LOVE your videos. Thank you! I grew up following these models and knew nearly all of them by name. I also knew the names of the famous designers who created the beautiful clothes these models wore and I could name the designer of clothes without seeing their name. Their works of design art spoke for themselves. As a young girl, I would hang out in the local library for hours looking at stacks and stacks of fashion magazines that were bound in hardback binders in the basement of the library. I was very much into fashion and beauty, which fueled and eventually lead me to being successful in local beauty pageants and a short gig modeling in local fashion shows after I was recruited to model after a beauty pageant win in my early twenties.
The eighties and nineties to me were the golden era for fashion in every regard. It seemed to add spice and glamour to our every day lives. I loved the fantasy of it all, and I still hope to this day that we see another great fashion era where beautiful, wearable clothes were works of art and not the quirky, barely wearable “clothes “ of some designers today. Thanks for taking us down memory lane.
Thank you Karine for sharing Katoucha's powerful and tragic story. I know her face so well from magazines and had no idea she'd passed or that her life was filled with so much pain & trauma. 💔RIP Katoucha. 🖤🤎🤍
I remember her, but never knew her name or her story. She was beautiful. I'm so sorry for all she went through. May she rest in peace.
I am from Guineé. its so cool that you made this video on Katoucha. I didn't know that Haitians descended from guineeans that is so cool to me because I love haitens history.
Love from Canada, as a fellow hatian...love my people from Guinea, Conakry, but Haitians are not mostly specifically from Guinea, during colonial times a big part of Africa did not have the names we know today, however a part of western Africa was called Guinea coast and included countries such as Ghana, ivory coast, Togo all the way down to Cameroun..and so Haitians and other black diaspora are a mosaic of all the different ethnic groups that compose these countries.
@@blackchyna3000 l know but i think she was referring to modern Guinee.
Same here quite surprised about Haitians coming from Guinée i thought they were from Benin Republic.
Why does America have a “no Travel” alert on Haiti right now?😳 What’s going on there if I may ask?
@@WhatTheFussThe gangs have taken over. Lots of violence right now.
Thanks for sharing the Katoucha story!!
Blessings!!
May this beautiful sistah Rest Easy in Eternal Peace and Power!!🙏🏾🤎🖤
I had never heard of her either, but now I want to read her memoir. Physically striking, and I have incredible respect for her strength and achievements. RIP.
Wow she is beautiful. I have never heard of her.She rocked everything she had on. Unfortunately there is such a sadness in her eyes even when she smiles. I’m so sorry she went through all that she did. I pray that she is in heaven resting and at peace.God rest her precious soul.
Yea, even looking at these photos, u see it in every photo.
I noticed that as well. I don’t think I could handle what she went through 😢
I never heard of her either, but you can tell the misery by her eyes...❤ from.the Netherlands!
I'm from Guinea 🇬🇳 (Guinée) as well. And my mum is malinké.❤❤❤ very beautiful language ❤❤
🤎🤎🤎🤎🖤🖤🖤🖤 Thanks for this tribute. I’ve never heard of her until now. I’ve been googling her and find out her daughter is a rising model herself. So sad how she pass. RIP.
Strikingly Beautiful ✨ cannot believe I’ve never heard of Katoucha. Heartbreaking what people and life can do to someone.
🤎🖤🤎🖤🤎🖤
What became of her only child???
I had never heard of this stunningly beautiful supermodel before this. Thank you for remembering & schooling us on Katoucha. As long as ONE person remembers you, you'll never be forgotten 🤎🖤🤎🤍🖤🤎🖤
She had 2 more children
Very stunning woman and such a horrific growing up lifestory..but painfully so common in the world. When parents mistreat their children they are destroying their own future generations.
Saint Laurent was one of my favorite designers! I started following him as a kid! Too me Katoucha defines Saint Laurent’s style! I’m sorry to hear her life was so difficult, and tragic, but she was able to live her purpose! 🤎🖤
It amazes me that she’s not as well known as other 90’s supermodels and I am so glad you covered her story! She is even more incredibly intelligent, multifaceted in her accomplishments, strikingly beautiful and enigmatic than I remember! Seeing her through child’s eyes, then, looking up to her. Now, as a woman, face to face I see her eyes, her soul with the full empathy of a woman. How wonderful to find she is just as elevated and ethereal as then, as now, an angel
Katoucha was incredibly successful in her career. Black models were really embraced by the top designers in the 80s and early 90s. If only she was able to be good with money when she retired and handle the pain from her traumatised past. RIP we will always remember you.
Yes, that’s true. Modeling career is extremely tuff for no matter what model you were. You should listen to the things most supermodels had to listen before they became famous. You must have a high selfesteem to be able to be a model.
🤎🖤It broke my heart when I heard about Katoucha's death. There is a video where she walked in Saint Laurent's retirement/retrospective show. When she came out, she was decked out in all black, and had the most tearful looking eyes. Thinking about it, Katoucha must have fell on some hard times at that point. She will be missed
I remember that show as it was historic. Every top model was in that show. Catherine Deneuve sang at the end. Katoucha looked stunning as usual along with Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer and Jerry Hall among many others.
@@wvanderwahl ....i was very sad when IMAN attended the show....but would not walk in it...YSL....IDOLIZED HER....he called her...HIS DREAM WOMAN...but she did not show him that RESPECT....
@CuirPhotodotNet Don't judge. There would have been a VERY good reason. (Iman & Yves were very good friends to the end.) He was one of the 1st major Designers 2 book her wen she 1st came 2 Paris. He gave her his careeer. So if she declined 2 walk in his tribute show...there'd have been a SOLID reason. So how about giving her...(& Yves)...."THAT respect" 🫂
@@re7416 ....the reason was she said she had retired...and had not been to a fashion show since she retired...she said that in an interview...after he had retired...but she attended his retrospective runway show so that off the top was a lie...i love them both and out of respect she should have walked for him this last time....
This was a wonderful tribute to her. I pray that those who see this video will be inspired to live through hard times. She did. RIP🤎🖤🤎
Thank you for talking about this and it brings a tear to the eye just to think about what this woman went through and how it all ended unceremoniously.
Shout out to all of the hard-working women out there. We do see you.
I was def a Katoucha fan from the 80s. Her Grace is still unforgettable. Her death was very sad I hope she’s very happy wherever her soul is. And I hope she knows she was loved and admired 🖤🤎. Have u ever researched into.
I’d heard of her and she was on my mood board, but thanks to you I’ve “ discovered “ her. Such a shame the things that happened to her. Maybe she lived a fast lifestyle to block out the trauma that affected her. RIP 🤎
This is the first time I have ever heard on Katoucha. What a beautiful woman. May she rest in heaven. 🕊 🤎🖤
YES, SHE WAS STUNNING!! LOVED HER. MAY HER BEAUTIFUL SOUL REST IN PEACE🤎🤎🤎🤎🖤🖤🖤🖤🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for the video. Us Africans mainly know Iman. Katoucha was super gorgeous and highly successful🖤
May the beautiful Katoucha rest in paradise...😔🙏🏾❤️🕊️🤎 🖤
Thank you for covering this beautiful woman life, I didn't know anything about her, but do remember seeing her face gracing Essence and Ebony Magazine. Rest in eternal peace Katoucha 🤎🖤🙏🏽
I have a similar background and I heard the Madingos (Malinke) are brutal with the fgm (type 2). I’m proud of her for standing up for girls.
I remember her! It was reported that she lived on a barge, was coming home from a party and accidentally fell in the water and drowned! She was so beautiful! RIP 🙏
It may have been reported, but was not witnessed by anybody. In other words, other than her drowning, nobody knows how it happened. Maybe she had help. If there was a murderer, they have covered their tracks well. But they cannot hide from justice once they leave this world.
@@evonnechi7029Wow that might be too much of an assumption. Historical events such as a celebrity death of Natalie Wood can cause more inquiry.
Hmmmmmm
🤎 🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎
If she accidentally fell into the water surrounding her houseboat after arriving back home from a party, why was her purse placed neatly next to the door of the houseboat and not in the water with her?
Katouchca was so beautiful 🤎🖤
I value and appreciate this vlog for bringing attention to talented women who have been lost ignored undervalued put upon and exploited and still rose up and defeated the odds. Katouscha had a sad and lonely end but overall succeeded at life. Thankyou Karin’s for your informative episodes.
what a beautiful woman. So sad her Mother did not protect her. I remember her but did not remember her name. So glad you showed us how beautiful she truly was. She could wear anything and look fabulous. Sad her ending but glad she spoke up for women!
Oh! Wow Thank you for doing Katoucha! Miss her so much. And what a great tribute video you done 🤎🖤
Katoucha 🙏🏾 lovely job as always Ms. Karine 🤎🖤🤎🖤
🤎🖤Wow as a SA survivor I feel her pain and anger. God bless her soul and to anyone out there who has suffered in such ways you are not alone and I send strength and so much love! To YOU!💖🖤🤎
🤎🖤 rest in peace Katoucha. Watching old runway shows and photos on google and vogue runway you always stood out as an extremely beautiful force of femininity and captured my attention immediately. You were such a goddess and wore every designer piece with such grace and strength, you are missed. Thanks Karine for highlighting her and her story.
She was so beautiful such tragic😢 she went through so much
Wears every outfit beautifully…so much grace and beauty! Thank you for telling her story!
The face of an angel, the soul of a tortured child. You know it when you see it. This vignette is but a morsel of a true beauty.
Such a beautiful tribute, thank you, such a tragic ending, rest in peace Queen🤎
Katoucha is featured on so many pages of my vintage fashion magazines. and I knew her well especially as the muse of Mr. Laurent. Sad her life ended the way it did. Thank you for the informative video.
May the GREAT and LEGENDARY Katoucha Rest With GOD in eternal peace. 🙏🏿❤🕊Her LEGACY will continue to live on.🤎🖤 She will be GREATLY missed and ALWAYS loved.
My Cousin is dearly missed thanks for the awesome video much respect❤️🙏
She was the queen of the catwalk during that time and the epitome of beauty. Sad her life was tragic even in death. Thank you for sharing this video❤
I loved this model! I was always captivated by her looks and walk! A muse
Katoucha is one of my favorites. She had the same spark as Iman.
I hope she is resting peacefully.
They were good friends
Katoucha, the original. Of my generation, she was famous and known to those who followed the fashion industry just prior to the advent of the trinity. Trust me, a lot of us were heartbroken (and suspicious) when the news broke of her passing at the time.
She was beautiful and you are right she resembles Iman. Her presence was speechless and her walk was commanding.
🤎🖤Absolutely gorgeous!🖤🤎 Thank you for telling her story and making those, who like myself, hadn’t been aware of her❣️
Exactly how I feel about her! Breathtaking 🤎🖤
🤎🖤🤎🖤🤎🖤 She was stunning! It was heartbreaking to hear how she died.
This was quite informative. Katoucha did have a striking resemblance to Iman, I must admit. She was stunning, may she Rest In Peace.🤎🖤🤎🖤🤎🖤
She was STUUUUUNNNNIIIINNNGGGG! Like, there isn't a model today that comes remotely close to her beauty, walk, grace, and unmatched presence! Perioddttt!!
I've never heard of her before. Thanks for making this. She's stunning, and she went through a lot.
...allow me to say that she was one of the most ....TECHNICALLY PERFECT runway models ever to walk HAUTE COUTURE...i am only half joking when i tell you that i have always been surprised the YSL even LET HER WALK FOR OTHER DESIGNERS...she was THAT GOOD....when HE retired of course they interviewed her...and she was able to speak ...maybe 3 sentences before she ran away CRYING...everyone in his atelier could barely even SPEAK of him retiring...she was one of the BEST...to ever grace the runway....
@CuirPhotodotNet Wow, I never knew that. Thank you!
