I was a very nerdy child. I never fit in, so I became laboriously studious.
From Iman
I had never seen 'Vogue.' I didn't read fashion magazines, I read 'Time' and 'Newsweek.'
People get numbed when they see picture after picture, year in and year out, of people starving.
I would go to cosmetics counters and buy two or three foundations and powders, and then go home and mix them before I came up with something suitable for my undertones.
We all have friends and loved ones who say 60's the new 30. No. Sixty's the new 60.
I speak five languages besides mine. I went to school in Egypt because girls weren't allowed to go to school in Saudi Arabia. It's very restricting, especially for girls; we're not allowed to go anywhere.
I arrive in New York on October 15, 1975. On my own, by the way.
I'm against a signature look, as that can be very outdating. But having said that, I also know my best qualities, so I'm not going to foolhardily give away my power.
Modeling gave me so many experiences, like traveling and being exposed to global cultures, but the most valuable lesson has been working with designers who truly are visionaries in their field.
There is a lot of noise out there. I don't want to follow the trend - I want to create the trend.
