One afternoon, on my way to the campus - I was majoring in political science at Nairobi University - a photographer by the name of Peter Beard stopped me in the street and asked me if I'd ever been photographed.

There are highlights when you become irreplaceable as a model, like when you become a muse to designers. They look at you differently; you're not a coat hanger for hire.
The day you settle for less is the day you will get less.
The women I gravitate to are the ones who defy convention and reinvent themselves - hence, they reinvent the world around them.
We are very private, so we decided from early on that we will keep the press and editors and everybody out of our house.
I have been a muse to Mr. Saint-Laurent, Valentino, Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, Versace.
Nobody has ever said to me that I was pretty, 'til I met Peter Beard.
I am so far more secure and more grounded and more know who I am than when I was in my 20s.
I did not want to get involved with a rock star. No way. It is not a sane thing to do.
My father... gave me a positive connection with men because he is a gentleman.
