Supermodel turned cosmetics mogul, Iman epitomizes the concept of owning it each and every day. 

Presiding over the court of high fashion as an elegant beacon alongside her husband, rock icon and cultural
barometer David Bowie, Iman is the embodiment of an ideal once thought to exist only in designers’ dreams.
She’s that rare bird who can wear almost anything and make it look (and sell) like a couture gown, and has played muse to such high-profile figures as Donna Karan, Gianni Versace and  Yves Saint Laurent.

Iman’s success as a supermodel has played a role in broadening our culture’s definition of beauty, a topic covered in her books I am Iman and her instructional manual for women of all skin tones, The Beauty of Color.

If Iman had a mission statement, it would be to shine and to act as a force in bringing beauty and meaning to everything around us.

Her evolution from modeling into other ventures served to redirect that momentum, leading her to found three global beauty brands as well as perform notable works for charity, from her awareness-raising trip to Somalia with a BBC film crew in 1992, to her recent work with the Hawa Abdi Foundation, which supports human rights and sustainability in her native Somalia.

Her company Iman Cosmetics is especially attuned to the makeup and skincare needs of women of color – a concept she was inspired to market when she found herself mixing her own foundations prior to runway shows and photo shoots. Her Ageless Chic Pinterest celebrates the idea that a woman’s sense of style can evolve beautifully without sacrificing an ounce of chic.

Indeed, Iman has all the bases covered, and we look forward to her next venture!
