Her mother gave her the masculine name “Iman,” the model divulged to Linda Konner in Glamour, in hopes that she would compete equitably with others since she was “a woman with a man’s name.”

Who doesn’t love fashion week? Irrelevant to those who care, fashion week is one of the most awaited events in the spring/summer and fall/winter seasons which present the latest designers’ collections. Trends are mostly what everybody looks out for. In a world where change happens to be the only permanent thing existing, it is sometimes necessary for some people to go along with what the trends dictate. The only chance to see the newest ‘it’ pieces is through fashion week. See it first live, or watch videos online. With technology’s great developments, it is easy to get a glimpse of what’s in and what’s out during the season.

The breakout model Amira Ahmed is more than just a beautiful face framed by a short, edgy haircut. For the half-Somali, half-Filipino, who surfs the West Coast — “I love waiting for that special wave” — and hits the Tignes in the French Alps to snowboard between fashion seasons (“simply a must!”), modeling is as much about traveling and maintaining the routine-less lifestyle she knows so well as it is a job.
Born in Stockholm, the 22-year-old grew up on her stepfather’s boat, where, she says “the sea became my playground.” Upon coming ashore, she attended boarding school in Prague, then college in London where she studied international relations.
“It’s natural that I would find work that I could do everywhere,” she says. Now based in Brooklyn, Ms. Ahmed most recently landed campaigns for Gap, AllSaints and L’Oreal.

People still tend to think of Tyra Banks as “just a model,” but with her own hit TV show, America’s Next Top Model, and a daytime talk show, The Tyra Banks Show, she’s shown the world that she’s more than just a smokin’ face and hot walk.
“Black women don’t have the same body image problems as white women. They are proud of their bodies. Black men love big butts.” – also say Tyra.
