Iman booking
Iman is Founder and CEO of IMAN Cosmetics, Skincare and Fragrances, a beauty company that
created the first cosmetics and skincare collection designed for all women with skin of color.
Launched in 1994, the IMAN brand philosophy holds that women with skin of color represent many
races, cultures and ethnicities. IMAN Cosmetics, Skincare and Fragrances are designed for African
American, Asian, Latina and multi-cultural women with skin tones in a myriad of shades. The brand
offers skincare and cosmetics, including 16 foundation shades. IMAN Cosmetics, Skincare and
Fragrances are sold throughout the world including the United States, Canada, UK, France, Brazil,
Africa, and the Caribbean.
In 2004, IMAN Cosmetics, Skincare and Fragrances announced its strategic alliance with Proctor &
Gamble. Under the licensing and distribution agreement, the prestige brand once again broke
convention and is now available at mass retailers including Target, Wal-Mart, Walgreens and Duane
Reade. In addition to running a global beauty company, Iman is actively involved in several charities,
including The Children’s Defense Fund, Action Against Hunger and the RAISE HOPE FOR CONGO
campaign, that aims to build a permanent and diverse constituency of activists who advocate for
protection and empowerment of Congolese women and girls.
Iman’s first book, entitled I AM IMAN (Universe, 2001), was an autobiographical sketchbook of her
career that questions “the unserious business of fashion and beauty and its serious affect on identity.”
Her second book, THE BEAUTY OF COLOR, THE Ultimate Beauty Guide for Skin of Color (Putnam
Penguin 2005) is the first beauty and makeup book that truly addresses skin tones across the
spectrum: Latina, Black, Asian, Indian, Middle Eastern, Native American, as well as multiple
ethnicities. She’s revolutionized the way women with skin of color think about beauty. Ever evolving,
Iman is co-host of Bravo’s “The Fashion Show” this Fall with Isaac Mizrahi. Further broadening her
horizon, gleaned from experience and a keen eye, she has designed IMAN GLOBAL CHIC, a line of
handbags, jewelry, and fashion accessories sold exclusively on HSN.COM. The line is one of four top
sellers among more than 200 fashion and jewelry brands on HSN. Additionally, Iman most recently
launched IMAN HOME, a collection of globally influenced fabrics and chic home décor. Most recently,
Iman was honored by the Council of Fashion Designers (CFDA) with the prestigious Fashion Icon
Award.
Iman began her career in 1975 as a model and has challenged the prevailing notions of beauty ever
since. The daughter of an African diplomat, Iman was born in Somalia and grew up speaking five
languages. She studied political science at Nairobi University where she was discovered by legendary
photographer Peter Beard. Her first modeling assignment was for Vogue in 1976. Iman was an instant
success in the fashion world, and a muse for fashion designers including Yves. St. Laurent, Versace,
Calvin Klein and Donna Karan. During her 14 years as a model, she worked with top photographers
Helmut Newton, Richard Avedon, Irving Penn and Annie Liebovitz. A mother of two, Iman is married to
David Bowie with whom she has a daughter, Alexandria Zahra. Iman’s eldest daughter is Zulekha
Haywood.
