Iman Breaks Down 17 Looks From 1975 to Now | Life in Looks | Vogue - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
She says "my husband" with such a honeyed voice, as if he's still here. Their love was so epic. I want that.
I absolutely agree. She's such an exquisite lady and she seems to carry her grief with class and grit. Very impressive person she is!
They were a stunning couple
@@corina.grindeanu They really were, one of the most iconic couples in my opinion. I just wish David was still here so I could see them together more 😢
@@kaonashi6728 same!!! Wish her all the best
Look at her necklace. "David" 😥
SHE’S 65???! GIRL I THOUGHT SHE WAS LIKE 46 or SUM TALK ABOUT BLESSINGS
DizzymissLizzy yeaaaa!!! I thought she is a bout 49 !!
How can she be 46 when she was a model in the 70’s??!! Lol. Regardless of how well preserved she looks, her age is really well known by everyone.
W H A T
@@roselynmvm I think they mean that she LOOKS 46 😂
Firespawn - they just missed the “look” part
One of my favorite David Bowie quotes: "You would think that a rock star being married to a supermodel would be one the the greatest things in the world. It is."
And he's right
They were so cute together. True soulmates.
So true
Bowie Secreeeeets. Loved that on Conan.
They were an Amazing Couple; NO Doubt.
I was impressed by her pronunciation of all those French and Italian names. Then I learned she is fluent in Somali, Arabic, Italian, French and English. WOW!
Because we speak all those languages in Somalia when Somalia was in it’s perfect time.
@@mohamedhassen3958 you mean because of colonisation
@@xolove7288 Well that's one way of looking at it but even the worst experince can leave us with something that makes us better off in the future, ex: being multilingual. By the way Iman is the daughter of diplomat farther and docter mother and was educated at a bording school in Egypt.
Well, if you a supermodel and went around the world for you jobs, you better spoke more than 1 languange. To understand what the designer or runway director yelled you about , for the very least.😂😂
@@xolove7288 Somalis had mutually beneficial treaties with the Italians, British, and French, the 'colonization' of Somalis was limited to the coastline and their treatment was not comparable to that of the rest of the African continent. That and the fact that the interior of Somalia was lways and is to this day off limits to foreigners and inhabited by hostile clans. Somalis have always been autonomous, it was a colony on paper resulting in the creation of fanciful maps used to bolster the colonial powers façade of influence the region.
The word "supermodel" gets thrown around so often these days, however this woman embodies the word perfectly.
So true!!!
Wonderfully said
Dont think u can qualify for the title if u havent been modeling for more then 2 decades
@@veesancez Iman doesn't need to qualify. She was qualified before the qualified
@@veesancez don't be bitter not cute
The way she talks about David and the shine in her eyes, shows you how much she loved him and that they were real soulmates
And the gold necklace she's wearing in this video says 'David'❤
who cares

THE TRUTH!
“Naomi and Iman”
The names that come in my mind when I hear the word “Supermodel”
Cindy Crawford, Kate Moss and Claudia Schifer would like a word with you...i understand that these are “black” supermodel icons specifically to inspire “black” skinned demographic first and foremost, still...neither of them as big as Cindy, Kate and Claudia...Might even add Stephanie Seymour as well in the mix...
@@Summon256 cough christy turlington
Tyra Banks to
@@Summon256 thats their opinion
@@Summon256 name someone who asked? Not everyone cares about those girls you just mentioned. I like a few of them but they aren’t as beloved to us why is this a problem for u?
She was the first woman I ever admired who took time to reach out and mentor me and extend her friendship when I was a young girl newly working on TV in NYC. I met her at an event and trailed across the room just to introduce myself and say hello and honor her for what a role model and inspiration she was to me. Later that evening amidst this big fabulous dinner she came to me and gave me her number and said "In my culture it is the job of the older woman to mentor and extend ourselves to be there for the younger." I was speechless. I cry even remembering her gentle kindness and her grace. Every time I saw her after it was always a wonderful occasion. She is EVERYTHING! And a truly sincere woman! Kisses to you Iman. I keep you always in my heart and prayers. OXOXO ❤️❤️❤️❤️
That's incredibly kind! 💕 You don't hear about regular people let alone ICONS doing this for total strangers! You should share a story or two on your channel!
What a heart warning story!!
That’s awesome. God bless you th-cam.com/video/E5igxAyX0sc/w-d-xo.html
She is the definition of a Somali woman. 🥹💞
"Why wasn't I wearing a Chanel, right? Well, he didn't send me a Chanel" QUEEN.
Real queen sh**
Was that not perfect?
Wearing all Versace to a Chanel event is either seen as a power move or trashy LOL
@@stealthis One cannot wear all Gianni Versace and be trashy at the same time. I am presuming of course, it was Gianni.
Her note on the representation of a Black woman with curly hair in the Millenium shoot? Perfection. We love her message.
For her to be so thoughtful and forward thinking as a model shows why she is such an icon 💖
PERFECTION!!!!
She was so smart I love her!!!!
nolinAgirlasia.link
Very thoughtful and smart!!!!
I love how she explains the red hair and wanting young POC girls to see curls ❤❤❤
Just commented to same
absolutely adore that and she ate that pic up ❤
💚
i love how she admires and explains every designers so gracefully, instead focusing only on how she looks. She's so graceful!
She's not only absolutely stunning, you can see how smart and brilliant she is and how her personality shines through when she speaks
So true she is a perfect A all around
I used to watch her on hsn or qvc cant remember which , and she is so funny on there
Agree
@@zicari21 👌🏽❤️
nelida carlucci: I just Can't Believe She just keeps getting Better and more Beautiful with Age. MY GOODNESS.
“It’s not a wig, it’s hair” - Iman
Karyn Mayo "This is my hair, I don't wear wigs" - Alaska Thunderfuck
@@anacarolmsc is that an insult
@@anacarolmsc I understand
No its not lol
Its wig yes we have long hair but we have big forehead 2
what an effortless superstar. I love watching Iman.
I saw your reaction on vogue’s other Iman video we are both on an Iman video tour haha
Ikr same
i love the way she expresses herself, could listen to her for hours. there’s something really elegant & intelligent about her
She's very eloquent
Oh yes, she is an awesome 👍💕 lady. Wish her special husband Mr . Bowie was still alive to love on her & her two children who are adults now, I think 🤔 🙏 🌹
“I couldn’t breathe but who cares?” ICONIC
Tell me about it!! And shoes too that are not for walking ..😂😂😂
i loved that
And that laugh.... oh my gosh she's delightful
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is how you age when you are unproblematic
What a dumb comment!
I know right! She's 65!
tricksie88 that only you and one other person think, lol
Sparshita Sahu Say it again 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
tricksie88 are you wrinkly
She's so gracious....practically every other sentence she says is a compliment to someone else. Amazing, classy, lady.
what a lovely mother she must be for lexi
She starts out by saying that she isn't sure she will remember details 'about where and when and how it happened', but she goes into great detail about each of the photos and events.
All of us taking about jlo not looking 51 girl she don’t look “65”
Iman IS real!
Jlo does look 51 without makeup
J Lo definitely look her age now 💀💀💀
SHES 65 :o she looks 48 !
She looks like a 60 year old woman who takes care of her looks ...
this woman is beautiful...and gets more beautiful as she gets older
It seems to me that she is ageless. So unique and beautiful.
Like a fine wine, she only gets better with maturity.
I saw her once in NYC around 15 years ago. I was in complete awe of her beauty. She is still one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen.
@komentarista hate on much?. flawless. absolutely stunning!!.
I agree
Someone asked Iman what she thinks about when she walked a runway to which she replied only:
"Africa"
I love that she had the red, curly hair for the shoot. She's other-wordly divine. There is something to be said about the high fashion models pre-fillers/face restructuring days.
The way that she talks about David Bowie and how she still wears her ring proves that true love never dies.
And her necklace says 'David' 💕😩
Yes!
I don't believe in forever lasting love... But then I see them
Iman is literally the cutest I just my HEART
Omg yess
I’ve never heard her speak before. I can see how she and David were made for each other. I can picture them doing very normal, everyday things together and laughing; I’m sure they loved to laugh. It’s not fair that he left so soon.
Yes, her voice matches her personality..
@@MariaLopez-hc2nm i really like her voice. I find that she has such a calm voice.
Yes we lost him too soon
Exactly
She has enjoyed her career and I love how original she is. She loves life and has a beautiful laugh. Stay different
A total icon. And she speaks so eloquently about each look. I first saw her on the runway back in 1983 and she was always a favourite.
That dainty necklace she is wearing... “David” ... just breaks my heart.
Such a lucky guy, and a cute couple
wow i didnt notice that love it!
Livanjka21 woooooow well done!!! You picked up on a fact that we’ve known about for 4 years now!
Livanjka21 and you’re miserable and depressed. He still wins.
Reyna bruh the person just stated a true fact
The fact that she kept the afro for the young black women, shows you her true beauty.
I absolutely loved when she said that. She wasn’t thinking of herself but rather the young black girls who aspire to be more. #queen #iman
Looveddd that i couldn't stop smiling 💓💓💓💓💓
her hair was the most beautiful of all of them tbh
Um, yeah, if you want to look like you could mop the floor 🤷🏼♀️
@@westaussie965 Well we all can't look like a raw chicken with stringy lifeless hair lol
I lost my husband the same week Iman lost David. I always remember how upset everyone was, and all I could think of was her and her heartbreak.
My condolences ✌️💓
Her laughter is everything. It's so contagious. Love it!
EVERYONE is lauding Rihanna for her inclusive makeup range, but let's keep it real Iman was the first
Preech!!!! say it to the people in the back lol
She really was! And before social media!
@@amaladan1492 true
@@Unjoku12 Right👏👏👏
You Better Say That Again, A Little LOUDER!!, For Those Who Ain't Listening/ Didn't Hear You!!!🤗❤❤
Clearly Iman has enjoyed her career, not many can say that.
I love how she retired but Vogue would not let her get away so easily, still in the pages in 99!! Love it!!❤❤❤
Beauty & Brains! And she was way ahead of the game with self awareness and representation!
Love that you showed up for your Vogue shoot with your beautiful curly red hair having the foresight to inspire young black girls who might look up to you for inspiration. Bravo Mrs. Bowie. God Bless.
usually these can be pretty dull, but she actually has interesting stories and anecdotes to each outfit! The story of the red hair and the millennial Leibovitz cover had me laughing, though. Iman, you clever woman. She really did stand out in that shoot.
Yeah i loved this story !
I thought the same.
I"m completely mesmerized by her, I could listen to her ALL DAY!
Totally
trust me IMAN is a very good story teller despite of her breathtaking beauty, stiff accent, intimidating intelligence shes very humorous and entertaining to listen to.
She is so captivating. I don’t even care for fashion but I clicked the video because she’s beautiful, and I watched the whole thing because I couldn’t stop listening to her. You can tell shes confident but not arrogant. She’s warm and inviting.
Very warm
So true
Yeah just watched it to look at a pretty supermodel looking at beautiful supermodels picturez
I love that this icon was conscious enough to keep curly hair in that photo. People don’t recognize how representation effects young girls. Love this ❤️
I wish this would've lasted so much longer! I could listen to her talk forever. Such an iconic beauty!
her showing up to that shoot with her natural hair and explaining the story behind it made me tear up. HER MIND!!
Same. Proud to be curly
...and her wearing reddish hair with a lot of volume....while everyone else is in soft pastels...MAKES HER STAND OUT....true supermodel move...lol...in the world of supermodels...she is QUEEN MOTHER...
Her natural hair - which is the natural hair of all Somalis - looks so much better than the fake one she is wearing in the video.
@@waryaawariiri1812 okay they get it man
HER MIIIIIIIND
Love how respectful she is of other women and models in the industry, she lifts them up. So beautiful and elegant 😍
True, I love how humble and open she is. Iman never forgets to uplift her sister's 💙
She is truly beautiful inside and out ❤
Wonderful Lady. One can compare her to Audrey Hepburn's sweet Spirit.
@@susannabonke8552 Interesting you mentioned Audrey Hepburn. David Bowie described Iman as a mix of Audrey Hepburn and Sophia Loren.
@@luulmaogi2293 I didn't know that.😏☺️
I’ve met her before and she is absolutely one of the warmest and most delightful people to meet. Incredibly kind, generous, and interesting.
She's wonderfully well-spoken! It sounds as if she's reading a book instead of just speaking off the cuff. Loved listening to her.
she’s a living Nefertiti. timeless beauty
Luna del Rey what are you talking about? She's JUST like Nefertiti!
@Luna del Rey look up the bust of nefertiti, the resemblance is uncanny
@Luna del Rey she is Somalian not Egyptian
hey hey ningen sucker their busts are uncanny in resemblance, is that what you’re saying? Lol .. I mean the face is more important 🤦🏻♀️
Literally ....
The best part is her explaining why she chose red, curly hair for the millennium shoot.
7:53 Holy... Super-Models!!! as a group, they completed the whole picture, no useless spot. but you can also see the beauty in each model's pose.
i came here after re-watching iman's interview in naomi's channel. she said back then the make up always made her face look grey because there's no correct foundation for her skin color. the make up artist didn't provide the foundation and she had to buy it herself. even so, she never find the right shade for her tone, so she had to mix different kind of foundations. that inspired her to make a make up line that can cater to POC without being ashy as a result.
we always talk about naomi but lets not forget the og legend
Yessss
Naomi who
Iman is a goddess, but there was Beverly Johnson before her!
@@jant3528 shut up u re nobody
I love how Iman said 90% of the models Yves Saint Laurent hired were black. ❤️
Yves Saint Laurent was a true icon and ally. I'm sad he's gone. His successor is not even half the man he is
Luna del Rey Somalis are black... deal with it lmao
well didn't he do like a whole African collection and then a whole Morocco collection too? you'd need black models for that
Luna del Rey If she’s not black then what is she?
Luna del Rey blacks can have blond hair and the softest hair lmao.. sis what are you one? They can have blue eyes too.. have u seen black Sudanese people? That have the thinnest noses and high cheekbones, which you claim are ‘Caucasian’ features. So for that mean that they aren’t black😭 go back to Twitter sweetie.
I love that Iman has a David necklace on; it is so touching. How wonderful to have had a love that transcends time and space. Beautiful!
I love her energy, we need more of that energy to spill into all of us.
Indeed.
@Zed Love hater. Be kind. You wont die if you decide to be kind to strangers.
The makeup got so much better over the decades. Partially because SHE started a makeup line for dark skin 🥰
Hers was the first foundation I ever wore.
Yup. Iman Beauty doesn't get the credit it deserves.
Iman is a fashion icon. Such a stunning, fascinating person.
She’s so well spoken and STUNNING! her fashion , speech , accent all immaculate ✨
when i think about supermodel i think about iman. i’m a teenage somali girl and iman really showed representation in the somali/modelling community! 😌
I love hear her speak, behave and express herself with such a cultured language. She and Naomi don't look their age even a little bit.
She blew me away when she told the afro story for Vogue's Millennium photoshoot, that's the attitude of a TRUE QUEEN.
A Somali queen at that!
Blacks,asians ,south asians dont crack
@@tahirghoerahoe8246 she has had surgeries.........
gospelevans even if she did they still look natural so that’s a plus. So many people try to get plastic surgery to prevent aging and then make themselves look even older
@@kennyb1588 the point is she is not naturally that beautiful. She she started surgery at the very beginning. She was beautiful before the bleaching and thinning of nose, setting of eyes, etc. Its all wrong.
Foundation in the 90s for black women was casket ready 😂😂 I love her accent could listen to her talk all day.
What your seeing is not the foundation, it’s flashback. Foundations in the 90s were great, just didn’t have as many as we do now.
heartfulenergy it is, there wasn’t a shade dark enough for them
She told in an interview that black models had to bring her own make up to shoots and runaways because the make up artists didn't have the shades for them.
Taffy's Closet Fun fact: in the late 70s /early 80s Iman was the face for Revlon’s Polished Ambers Collection, a successful line of cosmetics created for women of color. My cousin was in love with the lines “African Violet” lipstick.
heartfulenergy 👍🏿
this was so fun to watch - she's so charming and so articulate - she really takes you back there in the moment right alongside her
i'm so in love with her accent
My mother saw her in a museum in Vegas in the 90s and said she was the most beautiful woman she’d ever seen. She just had an aura and it was incredible
I am 55 and during the late 70's and 80s I was trying to find my identity, what beauty was, what black beauty was etc. We as young black girls didnt see representation in the fashion magazines and on runways mostly until Iman. Thank you for helping me find myself and showing me how to define my own kind of beauty back then. It was a pleasure taking this journey with you down memory lane. I loved you then and still love you to this day. Thanks for the memories!
Please don't forget about Beverly Johnson, who also played a paramount role in defining Black Beauty for women of color. The Virginia slim lady herself , "you come a long way baby."
@@anthonyholley2796 Iman Abdulmajid was much more influential and revolutionary since she was a global supermodel, thereby helping black girls through her own modelling
@@hassanabdikarimmohamed2505 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Iman is the only one.
“Throw him to the lions “- Iman on Remember the time michael Jackson ‘s video clip
She knows fashion and art. It truly was about the designer and look, and not just about her, although I could listen to her talk about her life for hours.
She is still one of the most stunning woman on earth.
And she’s 65..😨
And she’s a man
@Ms Soldier i m an onest lover
haters get a life
@@phylliscarter6215 you hate haters so you are the big hater
“It’s not a wig it’s hair” Periodt 👏🏽
I love the fact she let her hair show for that photoshop. Being a natural I really appreciate it even more now seeing it in the millennium. Thanks Iman
I can see why David loved her so much. So charming 🥰
She was the Egyptian Queen in MJ's Music video... STILL that queen. I love her 😍😍😍😍
So you remember the time? ;-)
@Luna del Rey since the first egyptian were blacks this wasn't a cultural appropriation
She is Somalian tho
Carmen by lana but no one likes her plz get it right ukhtii the word is somali not Somalian
Luna del Rey how ?
I don’t care what anyone says, this is the single most beautiful human to have come out of the era of “supermodels”.
The part about wearing curly hair for the vogue shoot...QUEEN!!!
One thing for sure somali woman beauty is unmatched. Our skin,hair,facial structure and body is just 😍😍 I love us 🫶🏾🇸🇴🇸🇴
Wtf,all people are good stop saying this
@@tomie592 there’s nothing wrong with someone appreciating their own ethnicity, go away. Always that one person.
She’s an icon, class, elegance, sense of humor. My role model!!
She literally has gotten better with age. She’s 65 and easily stunts on over half of the models currently working.
She’s still one of my all time favorite models. She’s so effortlessly elegant.
5:50 My favorites of these videos are the ones where they see a picture and immediately start talking about their memories of the people in it or the events of that night rather than the outfit. 🤗
I love how she refers to herself as a "girl". She is genuine and lovely.
iman wear her 1990 dress in a 2020 and still fit perfectly! omg her body is so amazing!
@Alejandro Ascencio me too!
Simp has been spotted
all units requesting back up.
This woman is absolutely gorgeous ,no one can't tell that she's over 60 years old!
She and David were the perfect couple .
She is almost 70
The synergy between Iman and YSL is iconic.
the ultimate modelling legend. not a day has gone past where she hasn't been an icon.
Amen.
Not only is she a timeless beauty, she's graceful and smart. Love her
Iman is one of those women who simply get better with age. You can see how her confidence has grown in each photo, and her beauty grew with it
I love her the most 💖
Love her laugh and her sense of humor. She's absolutely stunning!
How lovely! One can hear her Somali accent ..... she is a treasure
Absolutely
" I couldn't breathe but who cares" 😂
The idea she had for the 1999 vogue millennium issue is epic! Thanks diva for rocking your curls!
I love how elegant and humble Iman is. She’s like a breath of fresh air ❤️
The way she tells her stories omce a Somali auntie always a Somali auntie
😂🤣🤣🤣 lmaoo so true. She speaks like a Somali aunty / habo
Sooo true! She sounds just like my eedos lol love it!
Fr 😹
haha true
@@missna5675 you say that like her Somali accent is a bad thing. I think it's WONDERFUL and part of her charm...
She reminds me of Celine Dion. I know that sounds crazy. It’s the bone structure and elegance. Would love to see one of these on Celine too
Same and the long elegant neck
Omg, yes.. their auras and energies are similar
Yess lmao so true
She has ALWAYS been...Regal... Like she said..Her "signature" slow walk down the runaway...was born out of...fear.. Bt...it worked for her so well!!!....
❤️😎👍
Such an awesome session! I really enjoyed this.
Bowie hit the jackpot with her.
Ne seri
they both hit the jackpot
I didn't know she is married to David bowie ❤️
@@hanamcavoy6952 for close to 25 years!!!
Now I understand when Naomi told Andy Cohen she's pure grace, elegance and beauty. What a classy lady.
She is flawless. Loved her commentary and each photo is stunning.
You've educated me on the years of fashion. I thank you so much for sharing the behind-the-dress scenario.
I swear she purrs when she talks... So alluringly.
Iman has the fierceness of Araweelo, the beauty of Nefertiti and the charm of Hatshepsut. Making us native Northeast African women proud 🙌🏾
YES 👏🏽👏🏽
💯
Indeed...
also muslim
@@iknowexactlywhoyouare8701 I don't think she is muslim anymore 😥
I love these videos. I feel like I learn so much more about the person/fashion. Iman seems like she would be so much fun to be around. She is so gorgeous.
So enjoyed this, maybe you can do this again? Loved It!!!
