Скачать или смотреть The Somali Beauty Who Changed the Fashion World, Iman Abdulmajid

This Somali beauty was called a dream woman by Yves Saint Laurent, and the king of music, David Bowie, fell in love with her at first sight. Twenty-year-old Iman Abdulmajid was walking to work when the famous photographer Peter Beard stopped her on the street of Nairobi in 1975 and offered to take a picture of her. These pictures changed her life. She moved to New York, put on heels for the first time, and started a modeling career. A year later, she was already on the cover of Vogue, and popular photographers were lining up to invite her for a photo shoot. She became the muse of Gianni Versace and Calvin Klein, and Yves Saint Laurent dedicated his collection to her in 1980. The bright life turned Iman's head. She could fly to Paris for a party for one day or dance in a club all night before an important show, but she never let anyone down. In the 80s, black models were often invited to shows one at a time, just to diversify the picture, and they were paid less. However, Iman took an active position and achieved equality. Now she is a successful businesswoman, writer, and mother of two daughters.
