Spotlight on Fashion
Each week, I want to bring you an introduction to the major talents, I come across that inspire me by not just what they design, but how they live their lives and how they inspire others. We are all in this together!!
The Incredible: IMAN!
Clothing Line, Fashionista, Model, an inspired beauty that gives us so many things to think about, to wear, to aspire to as people. A Warm and loving Heart! One of the most sought-after fashion models of the 1970s and 1980s, Iman became a successful business executive in the 1990s with her own line of cosmetics. Married to rock star David Bowie since 1992, she became a mother for the second time at the age of 44 in the summer of 2000, but it was just one of many boundaries the enigmatic entrepreneur and social activist has broken in her lifetime. "She broadened the definition of beauty," declared Washington Post writer Robin Givhan of Iman's stunning, exotic looks. "She made earthiness sensual. She helped to transform fashion into entertainment and models into personalities."
Expanding her business empire, Iman branched out in fashion accessories and home decor. She has one of the top-selling jewelry lines offered on HSN. In 2010, Iman received the Fashion Icon Award from the Council of Fashion Designers.
Tragic Loss
In January 2016, Iman lost her husband after a long battle with cancer. The couple had been married for more than two decades at the time of Bowie's passing. Around the time of Bowie's death, Iman posted a quote: "The struggle is real, but so is God."
An inspiration to me on a daily bases, I always read her messages that she gives every day. It's who she is, as real as we imagine her to be and luckily for me. She is here!!! Cheers!!
