Book Description

Her first book is a gloriously entertaining hybrid essay on the cultural-cum-political power of good looks. The book's outrageous pop design--by graphic designers Barnbrook Studios--makes it plain that this is not just one woman's success story. "I Am Iman" captures the funny, infuriating, and often absurd validation of black and ethnic looks in a beauty industry where billions of dollars--and the self-image of women everywhere--are on the line. Peeks behind the curtain and scintillating interviews are courtesy of feminist critic bell hooks, "Interview" editor Ingrid Sischy, model and manager Bethann Hardison, and such celebrities as Cindy Crawford, Yves St. Laurent, Naomi Campbell, Bruce Weber, Tyra Banks, and many more.

Dealer Notes

With graphic design featuring gatefolds, diecuts, and other interactive elements, as well as specially commissioned, never-before-seen images by Annie Leibowitz, Ellen Von Unwerth, Sante D'Orazio, and Michel Comte, this book is an assemblage worthy of any fashionista's dream. Iman Mohamed Abdulmajid(Somali: Iimaan Maxamed Cabdimajiid), professionally known as Iman, is a Somali-American supermodel. Iman was married to David Bowie.
