"My saving grace was that I always knew when to leave the party." -Iman “Zeudi Araya Eritrean beauty shunned by her own people.. but why?” Next ua-cam.com/video/gaU5428B6qs/v-deo.html
May i ...Respectfully .. remind you about..about Fashion Fair And Flori Roberts. These two brands hit the makecup market in the late seventies. They were created for women specially of color. I am a black woman from the Caribbean and that is the brands i used to use in the eighties, perfect match with their Foundations. Please do your research. Thank you.
Iman is absolutely stunning! She's the whole package: beauty, brains, charm, business-minded, everything! She is a woman who rests in her femininity but is sharp and witty taking demeaning situations and turning it to her advantage. The way Bowie talked about her showed how much he adored and respected her. Also her as Nefertiti is chef's kiss.
This sums her up perfectly 😍 she’s absolutely stunning and a great business woman and loving wife. I loved watching documentaries on her and David Bowie and how he talks about her. Just adorable 🥹💛
I met her in person, years ago, at the airport. She is as stunning in person as in her photos. She is the epitome of grace, class and beauty. She truly takes your breath away. Her relationship with David Bowie was beautiful and special. He always just looked at her as if it was the first time he saw her.
@@emanuelamattioli6743 if she was, that's really sad, but it doesn't define her and she also was clearly able to have a happy marriage and a kid later in life. So I'm happy for her for what her life became.
@@emanuelamattioli6743 That is not true. Her parents sent her to boarding school keeping her safe from that hideous tradition. As a gynecologist, she did not allow her daughter to be subjected to it. She was lucky to have escaped it.
I met Iman back in 2003 during my modeling days. She was the kindest person I met in the industry. Because I was a tall caramel skinned model she gravitated towards me. I felt as though she was a fairy godmother. The only other model to make me feel welcomed and special was Naomi. Believe it or not Naomi is actually very sweet. Iman will always be an inspiration to women of all shades.
Iman is so photogenic. The camera loves her face! Literally all her photos are stunning. I also love Waris Dirie a former Somali model and human rights activist who fights against FGM. There was even a movie made about her story starring Liya Kebede.
I’ll never forget wearing Iman foundation and color to my senior prom. It was the first foundation I wore that actually matched me. Young makeup wearers today could not imagine what it was like going through all of school with 0 options for blemish coverage. Whew! Iman really changed the makeup game back in the day. Y’all don’t even know!!!!
Even as a white kid in the 80s whose mother sold Avon I always wondered where "the rest" of the makeup was. Brands really shot themselves in the feet with just ignoring so many people with money to spend.
I’m in the marble and stone business in NYC. I did a small job for Iman and David Bowie back in the late 90’s. She is , to this day, the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen in my life. And I’ve been everywhere. She’s absolutely gorgeous.
I loved her in Jermaine Jackson and also in Michael Jackson music video. Her and Grace Jones opened the door for women of color to model on a worldwide stage.
Iman Was Sooo Regal In “ Remember The Time” And Could Act! Eddie Murphy Showed His Skills As Well! That Is My Favorite Vid Of All Time ESP When Michael And Them Broke It Down 😊
@@AndreaTAndreaT That choreo still hits in all the right ways! I feel bad for Mike. Even if he had issues with his own visage, he LOVED his people and that representation was one of the most loving things he did through his art in my opinion. They just want people to think he hated himself and his race. We don't care what they say...we know the truth!
Dead ass, the most beautiful girl I have ever met was Ethiopian. Her name was Helen. She had these giant eyes which were beautiful. Also tall and slim. She literally could have been a model but chose a different profession. Regardless, the horn of Africa does produce some of the most beautiful women of the world!
I was working with an ngo in Somaliland in the early 2000s I couldn't believe how the people are tall slim with beautiful complexion and gorgeous features thick curly hair. Absolutely stunning specially the Somalis are known to be tall
Iman literally looks like a Somali aunt lol. Like I dunno how to explain it every Somali girl has atleast 1 aunt who looks like this lady. She’s usually the single one who’s living her best life 😂.
I came to know her from Michael Jackson’s video and thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world!! Then learning she was married to David Bowie my first actor crush :) I was just amazed .. 🥰❤️❤️❤️
That's where I saw her too! I felt like I've seen her before and I asked my mom. She said that's Iman and my mom had a magazine with her in it!! I loved her energy. Iman, Dorothy Dandridge, Naomi Campbell, and Diahann Carroll were my first loves. They are also how I grew up loving my skin!❤
My parents immigrated to the States from Somalia in the early 80s, and my dad told me how whenever he'd mention to people that he was from Somalia, they'd immediately bring up Iman lol. She was HUGE during this time, her face was everywhere so she kinda put Somalia/Somali people on the map in terms of mainstream culture. I remember seeing this interview where Iman talked about how her beauty/look is very common in Somalia and that there's this joke in the Somali community that "if Iman can be a model, anyone can" LOL and it's so true I've heard that joke a lot growing up! The joke isn't meant as a dig at Iman's looks mind you (She's absolutely stunning obviously) it's just that a lot of Somali women are stunning so what's "normal" for us Somalis is considered "breathtakingly beautiful" for non-Somalis. But even looks aside, Iman just has the confidence, self assuredness, and entrepreneurial spirit of a Somali person which is why it's not shocking that she pivoted into make-up after her modeling career.
Exacto! Somalís will think nothing of her beauty as it was very similar to the diaspora she came from. The chiseled but soft features. The tall elegant stride. The sensual yet demure look. Her face was a face of color, that brought awe to the viewer. Let’s be honest it was not a face or facial feature Americans or Non Americans were familiar with in everyday life. Only Somalis. And we are grateful she was a model for all women of color. And the confidence she gave us.
My ex-husband is Somali and I can second the idea that many Somalis consider her “average at best.” 😬 There are a whole lot of gorgeous Somali woman out there!
@@yourfriendmimi I don't think it's about being average at best, it's just that the world makes a big deal about Imans beauty, not knowing that her land of origin has plenty of beautiful women like herself. I would know, im also Somali.
Tbh to me it is not just her look but the way she came out. That walk, her confidence, her brain, everything just stand out. She is like what people in history described cleopatra. It is not that cleopatra is the most beautiful in term of look, but her confidence and charisma stand out add on to the attractiveness. And I think that is what capture that photographer eyes.
In my view, Iman is what all other models should attain to be like. She gave the Modelling Industry some semblance of credibility. So much for the days of the silent walking coat hangers! Iman had it all. A faultless figure, exotic features that made her an individual, that gorgeous mane of hair, such beauty that it was impossible to take a bad picture of her and the poise she possessed that made her appearance in Out of Africa unforgettable. She could make a potato sack look like a cocktail dress. I'm in awe at her intellect and all the languages she can speak. I was a witness to her modelling years and I doubt that there would be many people on this earth who didn't know the name Iman. She and Bowie were totally in love and it showed. I recently saw a small documentary where Iman spoke of their time together and confirmed that he truly was a gentleman. They looked so natural together that it's hard to understand why anyone would ever say they looked odd. If anyone came across as soul mates, David and Iman most certainly did. It broke my heart when he passed and I felt so bad for her loss. I truly enjoyed this video and enjoyed seeing the fashions that Iman wore during her years as a model which never look dated when she displayed them. Such a great example of a woman to look up to.🇦🇺💖🕊
Iman is beautiful, intelligent, and humble. And she has true class. That's something that is sadly lacking in the entertainment industry. No one will ever compare to Iman. I loved being able to look up to ladys like Iman and Cindy Crawford. May God bless Iman and her daughters always.
Iman and David Bowie were viewed as odd because of the diverse work occupations and what they represented. He was a rocker “ Ziggy Stardust”. She was an elegant sophisticated model. People err in labeling each other because of their career choices. That’s what people did with them. Compared what they saw on the outside. Sad. Evidently the two people we saw through the lens of the camera, was not the couple behinds closed doors in the comfort and intimate moments of their lives 💕💕
@@InspiredByEbonyLove I agree that many women from the countries within Africa are extremely beautiful but it's that 'x-factor' that is required to make that person into something special. I'm afraid you have taken the word "exoctic" out of context and applied a new politically correct assertion to it instead. I never stated anything about her being "foreign", only you did that. Anyone from anywhere on the planet can be described as looking exotic, it has nothing to do with where you are from.
@@jamessanders8895 You've summed her up wonderfully - "true class". Every single photograph taken of Iman shows this without any effort needed. She exudes this from every fibre of her being. No greater example of what young women should look towards. I also wish her well, her family too, into the future. She will always be part of history and so will her love story with David Bowie.💖
I will always admire Iman. I remember in the 2000’s being a young woman of color and the struggle to find the right shade of makeup. A middle eastern woman at a cosmetic store introduced me to her line of makeup for Women of Color . Iman understood what is was like to be dark with pink undertones , sand with orange undertones, or milk chocolate like me with yellow undertones. Her cosmetics were for women of color from Africa, Asia, London, America, the Islands ( Me) and back! She made us want to be as beautiful as her, and just as confident! Bendiciones Señora Iman ❤️ 🇧🇿🇯🇲🇸🇷
Iman is absolutely stunning. She was always my favorite iconic model of all time. I sold her cosmetics as a independent beauty consultant back in the mid to late 90's. She is the "original" for making sure all skin types fit her beauty brand.
Iman had the exact silouet of a beautiful Barbie doll. Apparently Iman was a gifted woman in every way and did not let her giftedness go to waste. She is to be commended for fulfilling all or most of her potential. She did what she was created to do. She was a good representative of her people as well. She maintained her dignity all along the way. Very admirable.
Iman is a beautiful woman inside and out. Intelligence, class and grace is Iman. I started reading fashion magazines when I was really young back in the seventies and eighties. Iman's beauty was breathtaking but you could tell there was more to her than just a pretty face or gorgeous body. This woman also has a beautiful mind and soul. I always had a lot of respect for her. She paved the way for women of color to have a voice and true beauty comes in every skin tone. Also her and her late husband David Bowie were true soul mates. This beautiful woman is a true icon in every sense of the word.
Yaaay! I just got home in time to watch this and relax. I’m Somali and look up to Iman so much. Thank you for covering her. She was the first to help revolutionize the make up industry as well. Love your content love 🙌🏾 Ps: most people don’t know but it’s Somali ** not Somalian. 🇸🇴🎉
I’m Somali too but I never actually knew there was a Somali super model like Iman until quite recently, only Somali models I’ve seen were the Instagram/influencer models
Wow. Thank you for the lesson, I never knew the correct way to refer to someone born in Somalia. The things we tend to not know is amazing. Thanks again.
Elelelelel🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴 I love being Somali man. It’s funny bc I discovered David Bowies music when in was 15 in 2015, didn’t know they were married till bout 2 years after
I was a teen in the 80s, when I saw Iman she was gorgeous, stunning, exotic, when I saw her in MICHEAL Jackson video as Nefertiti I was yes you really could be believe she was a Queen
She’s truly an elegant and graceful woman. She commands and exudes a sense of confidence and humility all at once. As she explains that she suffered from insecurities, one can understand where that humility comes from. She’s much more than external aesthetics.
Iman is not just beautiful, she is also very strong and intelligent woman. And you Karine is an amazing story teller. I can listen to you whole day. Thanks for honoring these amazing women! They deserve to be archived.
Iman is an important part of my life. She is the one who revealed to me my own beauty by being the first black model I had ever seen for a cosmetic line dedicated to black people. I am From France which has taken the longest time to acknowledge our black beauty. In the early 80 it was impossible to find any French make up that would suit us. Iman has highly contributed in the promotion of black beauty and models like Mounia, kadidja, Naomie Campbell………may they never forget.
A beautiful and extraordinary woman. Her background being born into an educated upper middle-class family, helped expose her to certain opportunities... Anyway, in my mind she is Queen Nefertiti. Her and David were a gorgeous couple
her face is a work of art. it's the type you don't tire of looking at. and she has always come across as such a sweet, wise, intelligent woman. very regal. she and bowie were so beautiful together.
I always wanted to be Iman, she is the blueprint of beauty. Paving the way for Somali women to dominate the modelling industry i.e. Ugbad Abdi, Fatima Siad, Abla Osman, Yasmin Warsame, Halima Aden, Ikram Abdi etc.. Fun fact: Somalia produces the most supermodels of any country in Africa. That smile, those eyes, that neck, that luminous skin, that statuesque physique. True pearls of the Indian ocean 🌊
Iman was absolutely breathtaking the first time I saw her in Jermaine Jackson's video "Do whatcha do". She was already an icon at first sight to me. Great video Karine. Nicely done.
WOW Iman charged a stranger she just met her whole college tuition for some photographs that weren’t risqué. She really knew her value. Now a days its pictures of women everywhere with their ass out for free. The modeling world and photography profession will never be the same bc women everywhere are so easily accessible for free and small-paying modeling jobs. The World of Supermodels is over. Now its instagram models with extreme photoshopping and plastic surgery, these women get switched out quickly for a new face within a year. Unfortunately instagram modeling isn’t really as iconic as being a Worldwide Supermodel continuously working for high fashion brands.
@@V.E.R.O. Yes I understand that but Supermodels isn’t as “popular” and in demand bc of the over-saturation of women online “modeling.” Society does not focus on the Supermodels like how Tyra, Naomi, Giselle, and Iman had the majority of the spotlight during their run. I can’t name 1 famous Supermodel. The world has changed due to social media. Movies and music has changed too bc ppl watch movies from home. Its all about clout chasing. Supermodels with that unique look are not really iconic anymore, the ones back then were bc most of these girls want to look like Instagram models so the market is more heavy on that side. These companies save more hiring women online, and its so many women advertising themselves they come and go they don’t have longevity. Kind of like how it was hard to get in the music business unless you really had TALENT nowadays anybody can tap their fingers on a computer keyboard, add autotune to their voice, and make a quick hit that does not last long and its not iconic.
I just LOVE how you really do your research and not just saying, “famous photographer…” but, naming them as well.. plus, how you Beautiful tell the stories of those Iconic figures!!! Your voice is soothing and enjoyable to listen to… L I V E & L O V E
I am fortunate to work in the fashion industry for 30 years...I consider myself blessed with what I learned and what I have been able to accomplish...and It's wonderful to see women like Iman do so much with their lives. I continue to live a glamour life which includes Iman 's fashion line...I always purchase a few pieces every year looking good even during the pandemic in Zoom meetings!
‘Unspoiled African’ 🙄 the fetishization of black Africans is exhausting- don’t get me wrong, she’s absolutely beautiful, but I can’t help but feel like lots of these white people who promoted her saw her as a ‘slender swan-like white woman with black skin’ who couldn’t help where she was born, which in itself is offensive. Her success is deserved because she worked hard for it, and she’s beautiful and I’m proud of all that she accomplished, especially for black women in the beauty/ modeling industry
@@overcomerbtboj Oh honey they fetishize all women from. Sweden to Somalia from Thailand to Tanzania from Ukraine to the Cherokee . I am hearing ya! Blessings and peace.
@@andromedamessier3176 maybe I am slow but I felt he meant she was unspoiled by Africa. Despite being born there and pure. Diamond in the rough. Could be virgin too but I didn’t get that from the narrative he was spinning.
Stunning model! She was every fashion photographer’s dream! How she used her body in all those poses were breathtaking! She was a SUPER supermodel in her days indeed! Thanks for sharing this video!
I loved the story of how she and Bowie met. They talked the night away at a party and at the end of their conversation, they said they knew they would be a couple, like love at first sight. I know he thought she was beautiful but he spent the evening trying to get into her mind, not her pants, and I think that meant a lot to her, that he saw her as a real person, not just a conquest.
One of the best videos of Supermodel Imam ever🍀💜 I hope you'll be able to make video about Waris Dirie, a famous Somali model who later became advocate against FGM. She even wrote few books about her childhood to her journey as a model and later as activist against FGM.
Growing up, I was mesmerized by her...in retrospect it was the fact I felt the actual respect for her and wanted to be be that. Like her a person to unite understanding of what meant regal, Beautiful a piece of invaluable art that every human is. Diana Ross another. Cicely Tyson another. These women were beyond inspiration, they were truth of what it is to be a black woman. Class, grace, intelligence Beauty..art. and so much more.
It is because East Africans(Liye Kebede, Waris Dirie) are built naturally slimmer. I worked in Cape Town airport and there is an Ethiopian airline flying regularly. ✈️
I have purchased her clothing from hsn. Her line of clothing is beautifully made and no spare of expense. However, unlike others, she does not price gouge. The materials and colors are vibrant and made just as you would expect her to. Highly recommend her line.
When I first saw Iman in a video years ago, I could not believe my eyes! I thought to myself, "This is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen! And who has a neck like this? No one!" To me, she truly is THE most beautiful woman in the world. And on top of that, a smart business woman. Anything she has made, I have purchased. And it's all made with great quality. Honestly. I have a pair of pants I bought from her line that are probably 10 years old and they still look good.
I used to LOVE The Face of Africa, which was something like a Ms. Universe competition for gorgeous African women all over the continent. And a lot of the contestants stories about getting discovered, sounded like Iman's.
I used to love Face of Africa. One of my High School friends was selected for the competition and actually had a very successful modelling career. Not as big as Iman or Oluchi but still very successful.
@@Whitechapelchap That was almost 30 years ago. I cannot remember her real name 😣😣. We used to called her Giraffe because she was sooo tall and skinny. All I remember is that shortly after Face of Africa she moved to Europe and I would see her on FashionTV doing runway shows.
Beautifully spoken! I've always had a big love for this Sistah! East African people often tend to be naturally very beautiful in appearance. Iman's look and vibe were so spot on, I honestly believe that the ancient people of Kemet and northern African countries looked more like these people.
She is my favourite too. For me she stood out from all the other models. Pure class , brains and beauty words can not describe. No wonder people thought she was a princess.
Iman is so regal dignified and was successful in her humanitarian work business and fashion too like no other model even models who hate each other respect Iman so does the entire fashion industry. She truly is the Queen of fashion!
I've always loved her! She is naturally beautiful & has an amazing personality to boot. She is the perfect role model from not only how she carries herself but seems to have a huge caring heart. Then add in her intelligence 🤯 Stunning lady.
Omg omg I’m so glad this popped up!! I ADORE Iman - her and Bowie are the dream couple, and Lexi is adorable 🥹😭 and her makeup line is such a good shade range!!
Iman really is a queen. The most regal and beautiful woman I've ever seen. And so smart and clearly knows her own worth so much! Inspirational! Also her relationship with Bowie was couple goals, they clearly were soulmates and I'm so glad she got to experience that, although it's devastating that she lost him.
That interviewer asking if she would lose her accent irritated me. Why would she? You could understand her perfectly. We’re all supposed to sound the same way?
Thank you for this one. I love this woman and so admire what she's done after her modeling career. I still wear her makeup. She has made a quality product that is very much affordable. My niece resembles her. PURE CLASS ACT👑
Karine, I love all of the videos on your channel, they just keep getting better and better. Iman is sensational! Thank you for sharing her story with us.🌺
Yess. I've been waiting for this one. My first BB cream was from her collection and I loved it. Your next video should be Victoria Beckham aka Posh spice.
Iman is THE TRUTH!! There is a regality to her that is unmatched. I would feel the need to stand up straight and curtsy if I ever met her.😝Aside from her obvious beauty, she exudes class, confidence and gracefulness. A dead ringer of the Nefertiti bust (as in the “Remember The Time” video). Somali women are beautiful!!
Ohhhh I love her she’s so striking, a goddess and one of my favourite celebrity photos is her in an amazing suit with David on her arm. What a couple! Listening to her speak is just as enchanting as looking at her.
I live in the city with the largest Somali population in the country and Somali are so beautiful. Was just at the state fair today and saw a Somali dude with long curly hair and the women looking beautiful asf. They’re all queens. They all carry themselves as such

Yes,the only makeup that worked for me
Still use her bb cream!!
She launched her own make up brand *IMAN BEAUTY* in 1994 when finding matching foundations was almost impossible. Such an unmatched goddess✨
No human should be considered that way ecuase its dangerous for evryone involved but I agree she is out of this world amazing

She is literally a piece of art. she actually posed. Models these days just pout and put their hands on theirs hips.

Yeah, big eyes and small nose tends to br common traits with tall height.

Fr iman is just an average somali aunty meaning their is many who look like her if you go to Somalia
not a single lie lmaooo
Trueee
Fr like she looks like a regular somali women but for everyone else she’s exotic and rare LMAO
My mom is this aunt lol! And I'm definitely planning on keeping up the legacy
She allowed him to take her picture, only if he could pay off her college tuition, which he did.
Haaaaa: this woman is BOSS. 😂🙌🏾

The chiseled but soft features. The tall elegant stride. The sensual yet demure look. Her face was a face of color, that brought awe to the viewer.
Let’s be honest it was not a face or facial feature Americans or Non Americans were familiar with in everyday life.
Only Somalis.
And we are grateful she was a model for all women of color. And the confidence she gave us.
My ex-husband is Somali and I can second the idea that many Somalis consider her “average at best.” 😬 There are a whole lot of gorgeous Somali woman out there!
@@yourfriendmimi I don't think it's about being average at best, it's just that the world makes a big deal about Imans beauty, not knowing that her land of origin has plenty of beautiful women like herself. I would know, im also Somali.
Tbh to me it is not just her look but the way she came out. That walk, her confidence, her brain, everything just stand out. She is like what people in history described cleopatra. It is not that cleopatra is the most beautiful in term of look, but her confidence and charisma stand out add on to the attractiveness. And I think that is what capture that photographer eyes.
This is so true! my best friend is somali and his sisters are ridiculously beautiful 😍 but they consider themselves normal.
As a Somali woman Iman has always been an inspiration for me growing up.
“no I came as a swan” yess tell them, Iman!
*YAAAASSSSSSS!!!* 🛬👑🦢
You caught that too..... silent laugh... POWER
In my view, Iman is what all other models should attain to be like. She gave the Modelling Industry some semblance of credibility. So much for the days of the silent walking coat hangers! Iman had it all. A faultless figure, exotic features that made her an individual, that gorgeous mane of hair, such beauty that it was impossible to take a bad picture of her and the poise she possessed that made her appearance in Out of Africa unforgettable. She could make a potato sack look like a cocktail dress. I'm in awe at her intellect and all the languages she can speak. I was a witness to her modelling years and I doubt that there would be many people on this earth who didn't know the name Iman. She and Bowie were totally in love and it showed. I recently saw a small documentary where Iman spoke of their time together and confirmed that he truly was a gentleman. They looked so natural together that it's hard to understand why anyone would ever say they looked odd. If anyone came across as soul mates, David and Iman most certainly did. It broke my heart when he passed and I felt so bad for her loss. I truly enjoyed this video and enjoyed seeing the fashions that Iman wore during her years as a model which never look dated when she displayed them. Such a great example of a woman to look up to.🇦🇺💖🕊
“ exotic”??? She looks like many women in the Horn of Africa. Nothing strange or foreign about that if you’ve dem it. She’s human
Iman is beautiful, intelligent, and humble. And she has true class. That's something that is sadly lacking in the entertainment industry. No one will ever compare to Iman. I loved being able to look up to ladys like Iman and Cindy Crawford. May God bless Iman and her daughters always.
Iman and David Bowie were viewed as odd because of the diverse work occupations and what they represented.
He was a rocker “ Ziggy Stardust”.
She was an elegant sophisticated model.
People err in labeling each other because of their career choices.
That’s what people did with them. Compared what they saw on the outside. Sad.
Evidently the two people we saw through the lens of the camera, was not the couple behinds closed doors in the comfort and intimate moments of their lives 💕💕
@@InspiredByEbonyLove I agree that many women from the countries within Africa are extremely beautiful but it's that 'x-factor' that is required to make that person into something special. I'm afraid you have taken the word "exoctic" out of context and applied a new politically correct assertion to it instead. I never stated anything about her being "foreign", only you did that. Anyone from anywhere on the planet can be described as looking exotic, it has nothing to do with where you are from.
@@jamessanders8895 You've summed her up wonderfully - "true class". Every single photograph taken of Iman shows this without any effort needed. She exudes this from every fibre of her being. No greater example of what young women should look towards. I also wish her well, her family too, into the future. She will always be part of history and so will her love story with David Bowie.💖
I will always admire Iman.
I remember in the 2000’s being a young woman of color and the struggle to find the right shade of makeup. A middle eastern woman at a cosmetic store introduced me to her line of makeup for Women of Color .
Iman understood what is was like to be dark with pink undertones
, sand with orange undertones, or milk chocolate like me with yellow undertones. Her cosmetics were for women of color from Africa, Asia, London, America, the Islands ( Me) and back!
She made us want to be as beautiful as her, and just as confident!
Bendiciones Señora Iman ❤️
🇧🇿🇯🇲🇸🇷
Yes for the milk chocolate with yellow undertones ✔️
She's the definition of a real model. A role model and a beautiful woman inside and out.
Iman is absolutely stunning. She was always my favorite iconic model of all time. I sold her cosmetics as a independent beauty consultant back in the mid to late 90's. She is the "original" for making sure all skin types fit her beauty brand.
Iman had the exact silouet of a beautiful Barbie doll. Apparently Iman was a gifted woman in every way and did not let her giftedness go to waste. She is to be commended for fulfilling all or most of her potential. She did what she was created to do. She was a good representative of her people as well. She maintained her dignity all along the way. Very admirable.
The amount of Somali women who are killing it in modelling because of Iman is insane. 🥰
God bless Somalia. 🇸🇴
Iman is a beautiful woman inside and out. Intelligence, class and grace is Iman. I started reading fashion magazines when I was really young back in the seventies and eighties. Iman's beauty was breathtaking but you could tell there was more to her than just a pretty face or gorgeous body. This woman also has a beautiful mind and soul. I always had a lot of respect for her. She paved the way for women of color to have a voice and true beauty comes in every skin tone. Also her and her late husband David Bowie were true soul mates. This beautiful woman is a true icon in every sense of the word.
Yaaay! I just got home in time to watch this and relax. I’m Somali and look up to Iman so much. Thank you for covering her. She was the first to help revolutionize the make up industry as well. Love your content love 🙌🏾
Ps: most people don’t know but it’s Somali ** not Somalian. 🇸🇴🎉
I’m Somali too but I never actually knew there was a Somali super model like Iman until quite recently, only Somali models I’ve seen were the Instagram/influencer models
Wow. Thank you for the lesson, I never knew the correct way to refer to someone born in Somalia. The things we tend to not know is amazing. Thanks again.
Love Iman! Loved her and David’s relationship, too. Beautiful people.
My grandma used to babysit her back in Somalia when she was young
Stop fucking lieing lamo
IMAN is the original IT girl, she’s an icon only by her first name! She’s an inspiration to many generation of women.
Iman is intelligent business woman.
She’s a boss lady!
Elelelelel🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴 I love being Somali man. It’s funny bc I discovered David Bowies music when in was 15 in 2015, didn’t know they were married till bout 2 years after
I was a teen in the 80s, when I saw Iman she was gorgeous, stunning, exotic, when I saw her in MICHEAL Jackson video as Nefertiti I was yes you really could be believe she was a Queen
She’s truly an elegant and graceful woman. She commands and exudes a sense of confidence and humility all at once. As she explains that she suffered from insecurities, one can understand where that humility comes from. She’s much more than external aesthetics.
Iman is not just beautiful, she is also very strong and intelligent woman. And you Karine is an amazing story teller. I can listen to you whole day. Thanks for honoring these amazing women! They deserve to be archived.
Someone said she always looked “Regal” and it’s a perfect word for her. She always had a sense of royalty to her
Iman still has it .
She did a beauty routine,
with Vogue 9 months
ago .
Iman to me has always been the definition of black excellence, intelligence, class, and beauty. She is so humble yet regal
EXACTLY
Iman is an important part of my life. She is the one who revealed to me my own beauty by being the first black model I had ever seen for a cosmetic line dedicated to black people. I am From France which has taken the longest time to acknowledge our black beauty. In the early 80 it was impossible to find any French make up that would suit us. Iman has highly contributed in the promotion of black beauty and models like Mounia, kadidja, Naomie Campbell………may they never forget.
A beautiful and extraordinary woman. Her background being born into an educated upper middle-class family, helped expose her to certain opportunities... Anyway, in my mind she is Queen Nefertiti. Her and David were a gorgeous couple
Nerfertiti indeed
I love that you now include “receipts” in your videos. It makes the storytelling a little more authentic.
PS: I’m still waiting on your Debbie Allen video!
Love Iman, she's absolutely brilliant.
Being like Iman is life goals. Beauty, dignity, intelligence, grace and humility.
her face is a work of art. it's the type you don't tire of looking at. and she has always come across as such a sweet, wise, intelligent woman. very regal. she and bowie were so beautiful together.
I always wanted to be Iman, she is the blueprint of beauty. Paving the way for Somali women to dominate the modelling industry i.e. Ugbad Abdi, Fatima Siad, Abla Osman, Yasmin Warsame, Halima Aden, Ikram Abdi etc..
Fun fact: Somalia produces the most supermodels of any country in Africa.
That smile, those eyes, that neck, that luminous skin, that statuesque physique.
True pearls of the Indian ocean 🌊

Iman outshines them all.
True pearls of EAST AFRICA******* get it right damn it!!!
You literally described us to the tea. Big flex being a Somali 🇸🇴💕
Exactly and there is lady from 🇹🇿 Tanzania name Miriam odemba very beautiful too from East Africa
She’s so gorgeous and has such a captivating aura about her!
beyond gorgeous God took her time making her
She is one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen in my entire life! The woman is a true 10
Words do her description no justice in my opinion...makes us all proud to be brown
@@dylanbillion917 I agree. The comment section should just be blank because her beauty is truly indescribable
I love David Bowie and Iman's romance; it is so beautiful and adorable :,)
TO SUM IT UP, IMAN IS SIMPLY ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MODELS EVER, AND EVERYWHERE SHE GOES SHE MAKES A STATEMENT OF GLAMOUR OF WHO SHE REPRESENTS!!😊
Iman was absolutely breathtaking the first time I saw her in Jermaine Jackson's video "Do whatcha do". She was already an icon at first sight to me.
Great video Karine. Nicely done.
WOW Iman charged a stranger she just met her whole college tuition for some photographs that weren’t risqué. She really knew her value. Now a days its pictures of women everywhere with their ass out for free. The modeling world and photography profession will never be the same bc women everywhere are so easily accessible for free and small-paying modeling jobs. The World of Supermodels is over. Now its instagram models with extreme photoshopping and plastic surgery, these women get switched out quickly for a new face within a year. Unfortunately instagram modeling isn’t really as iconic as being a Worldwide Supermodel continuously working for high fashion brands.
Facts
Now that's a boss move
The IG supermodels are generic, you have to have a unique look to make it into high fashion.
I peaked that too 😁
@@V.E.R.O. Yes I understand that but Supermodels isn’t as “popular” and in demand bc of the over-saturation of women online “modeling.” Society does not focus on the Supermodels like how Tyra, Naomi, Giselle, and Iman had the majority of the spotlight during their run. I can’t name 1 famous Supermodel. The world has changed due to social media. Movies and music has changed too bc ppl watch movies from home. Its all about clout chasing. Supermodels with that unique look are not really iconic anymore, the ones back then were bc most of these girls want to look like Instagram models so the market is more heavy on that side. These companies save more hiring women online, and its so many women advertising themselves they come and go they don’t have longevity. Kind of like how it was hard to get in the music business unless you really had TALENT nowadays anybody can tap their fingers on a computer keyboard, add autotune to their voice, and make a quick hit that does not last long and its not iconic.
Iman is a queen. I agree she's the absolute most beautiful woman I have ever seen. She has a beautiful spirit and a great sense of humor. Pure class.
I just LOVE how you really do your research and not just saying, “famous photographer…” but, naming them as well.. plus, how you Beautiful tell the stories of those Iconic figures!!!
Your voice is soothing and enjoyable to listen to…
L I V E & L O V E
I am fortunate to work in the fashion industry for 30 years...I consider myself blessed with what I learned and what I have been able to accomplish...and It's wonderful to see women like Iman do so much with their lives. I continue to live a glamour life which includes Iman 's fashion line...I always purchase a few pieces every year looking good even during the pandemic in Zoom meetings!
‘Unspoiled African’ 🙄 the fetishization of black Africans is exhausting- don’t get me wrong, she’s absolutely beautiful, but I can’t help but feel like lots of these white people who promoted her saw her as a ‘slender swan-like white woman with black skin’ who couldn’t help where she was born, which in itself is offensive. Her success is deserved because she worked hard for it, and she’s beautiful and I’m proud of all that she accomplished, especially for black women in the beauty/ modeling industry
I caught that too- I’m sensitive as a woman of color ( not AA) to women of color being fetishized as well and being called “exotic”
@@overcomerbtboj Oh honey they fetishize all women from. Sweden to Somalia from Thailand to Tanzania from Ukraine to the Cherokee .
I am hearing ya!
Blessings and peace.
The European man who 'discovered' her, said that Iman was a "white woman dipped in chocolate". Definitely fetishism.
WHAT does that even mean?
Exactly, hearing how they were making up fake stories about her and describing her just made me very uncomfortable and is just so weird and gross
She gave me such pride growing up as a tall Somali woman we’re the same height ❤️❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Iman looks so amazing even now. She carries herself with so much class. I cannot wait to watch this.
Even looking at her now she is stunning and sublime with no exaggeration
The union of Iman and David Bowie still inspires me to this very day. She's the ultimate goddess of true class and style.👑🔥💎♥️
They had/have a soul connection ❤️
Totally 💯 Agree ❤🎉
Iman is Truly a Beautiful 🤩 Doll ❤
She looks stunning breathtaking fr 💯
Stops you in your tracks type of beauty 😍
She should be accused and charged with stealing ....people's breath
”an African that was unspoiled.” Chile... Well at least mama already knew what he was on and went straight Business Woman
Forgive me for being slow but what does that even mean???
@@sehamskitchen2325 I guess umm a virgin? I don’t get it either.
Silent laugh
@@andromedamessier3176 maybe I am slow but I felt he meant she was unspoiled by Africa. Despite being born there and pure. Diamond in the rough. Could be virgin too but I didn’t get that from the narrative he was spinning.
omg, natural beauty, da hell is wrong with u pple?
Stunning model! She was every fashion photographer’s dream! How she used her body in all those poses were breathtaking! She was a SUPER supermodel in her days indeed! Thanks for sharing this video!
Say it again .... SUPERMODEL
I was waiting for Iman!!! So glad I found your channel, these breakdowns are so motivational 😊.
I loved the story of how she and Bowie met. They talked the night away at a party and at the end of their conversation, they said they knew they would be a couple, like love at first sight. I know he thought she was beautiful but he spent the evening trying to get into her mind, not her pants, and I think that meant a lot to her, that he saw her as a real person, not just a conquest.
Iman has always exuded a beautiful aura and it comes from within.
Your documentaries are thoughtful and wonderful ! I know you put a lot of work into them. Thank you 🎉❤❤❤
One of the best videos of Supermodel Imam ever🍀💜
I hope you'll be able to make video about Waris Dirie, a famous Somali model who later became advocate against FGM. She even wrote few books about her childhood to her journey as a model and later as activist against FGM.
As a Somali girl I love this video 🇸🇴❤️

Growing up, I was mesmerized by her...in retrospect it was the fact I felt the actual respect for her and wanted to be be that. Like her a person to unite understanding of what meant regal, Beautiful a piece of invaluable art that every human is. Diana Ross another. Cicely Tyson another. These women were beyond inspiration, they were truth of what it is to be a black woman. Class, grace, intelligence Beauty..art. and so much more.
The men are beautiful too :) I watched a documentary on Somali people and they are just beautiful!!
They are very beautiful, almost unreal 😍
Yes. And for me, that's the case throughout the horn of Africa and all the tribes that migrated from there in modern times.
@rabbit It’s really not a generalisation East Africans or horn Africans are truly beautiful.
It is because East Africans(Liye Kebede, Waris Dirie) are built naturally slimmer.
I worked in Cape Town airport and there is an Ethiopian airline flying regularly. ✈️
@@zigzig9938 it's not only the slim built their features their hair and the Somalis are blessed with height
She and David were a beautiful couple...style,elegance,class
I have purchased her clothing from hsn. Her line of clothing is beautifully made and no spare of expense. However, unlike others, she does not price gouge. The materials and colors are vibrant and made just as you would expect her to. Highly recommend her line.
I loved David Bowie, but when he married IMAN, I was like, that man has great taste!
When I first saw Iman in a video years ago, I could not believe my eyes! I thought to myself, "This is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen! And who has a neck like this? No one!" To me, she truly is THE most beautiful woman in the world. And on top of that, a smart business woman. Anything she has made, I have purchased. And it's all made with great quality. Honestly. I have a pair of pants I bought from her line that are probably 10 years old and they still look good.
I used to LOVE The Face of Africa, which was something like a Ms. Universe competition for gorgeous African women all over the continent. And a lot of the contestants stories about getting discovered, sounded like Iman's.
Oluchi won the first season back in 98
@@damienabsalon I KNOW! I was in love with her. Thought she looked like a baby faced version of Naomi Campbell. Lol
I used to love Face of Africa. One of my High School friends was selected for the competition and actually had a very successful modelling career. Not as big as Iman or Oluchi but still very successful.
@@naturalgirldiy Too cool. What's her name?
@@Whitechapelchap That was almost 30 years ago. I cannot remember her real name 😣😣. We used to called her Giraffe because she was sooo tall and skinny. All I remember is that shortly after Face of Africa she moved to Europe and I would see her on FashionTV doing runway shows.
Beautifully spoken! I've always had a big love for this Sistah! East African people often tend to be naturally very beautiful in appearance. Iman's look and vibe were so spot on, I honestly believe that the ancient people of Kemet and northern African countries looked more like these people.
She is my favourite too. For me she stood out from all the other models. Pure class , brains and beauty words can not describe. No wonder people thought she was a princess.
Iman is so regal dignified and was successful in her humanitarian work business and fashion too like no other model even models who hate each other respect Iman so does the entire fashion industry. She truly is the Queen of fashion!
I've always loved her! She is naturally beautiful & has an amazing personality to boot. She is the perfect role model from not only how she carries herself but seems to have a huge caring heart. Then add in her intelligence 🤯 Stunning lady.
"No, I came as a swan." Great comment, great confidence & knowing EXACTLY who she was/is.
Iman emulates what "possibility wirth passion and preserverence" creates, Beautiful inside and out!
She has always been a beautiful woman and still is and I love her clothing line on HSN!
Omg omg I’m so glad this popped up!! I ADORE Iman - her and Bowie are the dream couple, and Lexi is adorable 🥹😭 and her makeup line is such a good shade range!!
Iman really is a queen. The most regal and beautiful woman I've ever seen. And so smart and clearly knows her own worth so much! Inspirational!
Also her relationship with Bowie was couple goals, they clearly were soulmates and I'm so glad she got to experience that, although it's devastating that she lost him.
That interviewer asking if she would lose her accent irritated me. Why would she? You could understand her perfectly. We’re all supposed to sound the same way?
Things are better now. Assimilation was THE THING before.
Silent laugh
@@HadassaMoon144 ha, yet arnold and antonio banderas still got work despite accents, bs
I expect that kind of ignorance from tone deaf people. Especially when Peter came up with that racist biography for her
@@MsDesiree39 It's called racist America
Thank you for this one. I love this woman and so admire what she's done after her modeling career. I still wear her makeup. She has made a quality product that is very much affordable. My niece resembles her. PURE CLASS ACT👑
Thank you for this break down Karine! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Iman. Stunning woman and very smart business woman.
And here's everyone thinking Rihanna was innovative with Fenty Beauty..... I hope that fact is revisited out of respect to Iman!
I was told by a Kenyan coworker that the Swahilis have a term for Ethiopian and Somali women which means 'Angels of the desert'.
Tell me the word so I can start using it 😂😂
This is ironic bc Ethiopians definitely don't live in the desert climates compared to Somalia 😂
I need the word in swahili in my life, please.
P.S. Swahili is a language- my bad. Should be "The native Swahili speakers have a term.." Unfortunately we don't work together anymore.
Ethiopian, Somali, Eritrean and Sudanese
Karine, I love all of the videos on your channel, they just keep getting better and better. Iman is sensational! Thank you for sharing her story with us.🌺
"I came as a swan" ICONIC
Sublime
She reminds me of Waris Dirie, who was also a model, but started to fight against FGM. There’s a movie ,Desert flower’ about it.
That movie and book is full of lies tho…
She paved the way for Waris and so many others.
Wow! She is so smart and calculated, I love it.
Yess. I've been waiting for this one. My first BB cream was from her collection and I loved it. Your next video should be Victoria Beckham aka Posh spice.
Wonderful story. I love that she never forgot where she came from. Helping the Somolian people is awesome.
Iman is THE TRUTH!! There is a regality to her that is unmatched. I would feel the need to stand up straight and curtsy if I ever met her.😝Aside from her obvious beauty, she exudes class, confidence and gracefulness. A dead ringer of the Nefertiti bust (as in the “Remember The Time” video). Somali women are beautiful!!
Ohhhh I love her she’s so striking, a goddess and one of my favourite celebrity photos is her in an amazing suit with David on her arm. What a couple! Listening to her speak is just as enchanting as looking at her.
I live in the city with the largest Somali population in the country and Somali are so beautiful. Was just at the state fair today and saw a Somali dude with long curly hair and the women looking beautiful asf. They’re all queens. They all carry themselves as such
I have so much respect for this woman
