The CFDA(Fashion Oscars) is honoring fashion icon Iman at the award ceremony on June 7th. About time!The stunning Somalian born beauty was discovered by photographer Peter Beard at the University of Nairobi and the rest is history. Besides her gorgeous face, Iman is also known for her exquisite long neck when she hit the runway in the late seventies and eighties. Back then, woman actually had curves and personalities on the catwalk.
Iman is more than just a pretty face. She launched her successful cosmetics line for women of color. It's one of the few cosmetics line that I use faithfully. She is always campaigning to stop the brutal circumcising of women in African countries and equality for African-American models in the fashion industry.
Naomi, Chanel, Jourdan, Sessilee and many other African-American models would not be where they are today without Iman. We don't deserve to be on the same planet of this goddess!
