iman bowie, the world's first black supermodel, is known as the "Black Pearl", and a series of photos were born, in which she was simply "stunned".

In this group of photos, Iman, a black supermodel, has fluffy silver hair and a bold dark V-shirt, which is as dazzling as the stars in the night, and instantly attracts everyone's attention. It's no exaggeration to say that God carved such a face and figure by using the immortal knife method ...

What makes netizens even more shocked is that this group of photos was taken in 1991, and now it has spanned 31 years, which still makes people feel that she is beautiful beyond words. However, as the first black supermodel in the world, Iman's highlight moment is not just this time.

In those years when she was a model, every time she appeared, she was amazing. Then, in that era of single aesthetics, as a black supermodel, how did she break the tradition and win the attention and praise of the whole world?

In 1955, she was born in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, where there are more camels than people. Her father is a diplomat, her mother is a midwife nurse, and there are four brothers and sisters at home.

Born in such a family, Iman has been much luckier than other children in Africa. She has no worries about food and clothing under the care of her parents, and she has also received higher education. However, in the war-torn environment, her family still lived a life of no fixed abode. From Mogadishu to Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and then to Kenya, she was always preparing for moving.

But for those who strive for progress, no matter how bad they are thrown into life, they will eventually shine. It is precisely because of this unstable external environment that Iman gradually developed an independent and strong character in the process of growing up. At the same time, she also mastered Somali, Arabic, English, French and Italian in the process of asylum.

Even though she became a refugee, she still insisted on studying at university while working, believing that studying can change her destiny. Until one day when she was 18, she met an American on the street who really changed the direction of her life.

After this shoot, Peter contacted Iman again soon and asked her to be a professional model in America. But not everyone has the courage to give up everything in sight and rush to a strange country to pursue a new life. At the same time, not everyone has such an opportunity. Finally, after much deliberation, Iman set foot on the road to America.

After arriving in the United States, Iman quickly became the favorite of famous fashion designers by virtue of her outstanding appearance and figure proportion.

at the peak of her popularity, magazines and brands were scrambling to invite her to shoot blockbusters and catwalks. Some brands, such as VERSACE, Yves Saint laurent, Escada and Calvin Klein(CK), had cooperated with her, and she appeared in Vogue magazine more than once.

In addition to modeling, she also received an invitation from the film and television circle and made a guest appearance in some movies. However, her most famous role is Cleopatra in Michael Jackson's single "Rememberthe Time" MV.

She has had two failed marriages. The first time, influenced by the customs in Africa, she married a Somali at the age of 18. This marriage was not what Iman wanted, besides, she was still in college. So by chance, she left her first husband by going to work in America.

in 1978, at the age of 23, Iman married Spencer Haywood, an American professional basketball player, and they gave birth to a daughter. But Iman's second marriage only lasted for nearly ten years, and the two ended in divorce.

At this time, Iman, who has experienced two failed marriages, didn't find that the right person was waiting for her ahead, and the other person was the famous "rock star" david bowie.

in 199, they met at a dinner hosted by friends. It is said that David appeared in an elegant and handsome white suit and a luxurious white sports car at that time, while Iman was in a handsome black leather suit, with two people, one black and one white, as if it were an intentional arrangement from heaven.

More subtly, after the first eye contact with Iman, David confirmed that she would be my wife. So after that, David launched a passionate pursuit of Iman.

Later, Iman recalled: "On the first date, my the shoelace is loose, he actually knelt down to tidy it up for me at the first time." "I went to Paris for a catwalk, and when I came back, I saw a room full of gardenias he sent me." It is estimated that few women can resist such a careful and romantic move.

So in the process of getting along, Iman was slowly moved by this British man, but after two marriages, she was obviously more cautious about feelings. When David first proposed to her, she refused after hesitation because she was not ready for the next marriage.

However, David didn't leave Iman because of his first failure. In the following days, he still loved his girlfriend, and tried his best to get rid of some bad habits in life, even decades of alcohol addiction.

So, after getting to know each other better, David got up the courage to propose to Iman for the second time. David obviously did enough work to propose this marriage, and Iman later said: In fact, at the moment when David took out the ring, she had already fallen.

Because this ring was just known by them, Iman saw it in an antique shop in Florence. But when Iman decided to buy it, the ring had been bought by others. In order to find Iman's beloved ring, David quietly went to the antique shop to inquire about the buyer's information. Unfortunately, he got very little information, and it took a year to find the ring back and forth.

So when I saw this ring again and learned about its experience, I can imagine how surprised and moved Iman was. After being moved, Iman of course agreed to David's proposal. So, the two married smoothly in 1992.

Whether you can marry a rock star or love after three marriages shows the charm of "Black Pearl".

After marriage, their lives are still romantic and sweet, and they never skimp on the opportunity to show their love, which seems to announce their happiness to the whole world. In the eighth year after their marriage, they also welcomed their daughter, and the family of three was even more happy.

Time flies. The two have lived together for more than twenty years. During this period, they had angry and quarreled like ordinary couples, but they were all episodes in trivial life. Happiness is still the main theme.

But this happy life quietly disappeared on January 1th, 216, when David died of cancer.

In the face of her lover's departure, Iman was in great pain. She once pinned her thoughts on David's puppy with different pupils.

She also has a necklace with David's name engraved on it, which she won't take off on any occasion. Up to now, she still likes watching the sunset, because she says it is her husband's favorite scenery.

It's a pity that my favorite has passed away, and those who stay still have a long life to go. I wish her a happy life while missing her husband!
