Spotted in the street
"
It's not really my first experience in the world of fashion, " she explains. "
I had already participated in a Fashion Week on the theme of Africa as well as shoots for young designers. It helped me defeat my fear, "says Iman, who was actually spotted on the street as she walked down Avenue Louise in Brussels. "
I had already participated, when I was 14 or 15 years old, in a competition organized by another agency, Elite, but it had not given anything. One day, Avenue Louise, I met a recruiter whom I had met during this contest. He asked me if I was still taking photos and offered me to do the Metropolitan casting in Brussels. So I went and the jury selected me to be part of the final where we were 12 girls and 12 boys, "she adds. At the final, organized at Tour & Taxis, she seduced the jury. When asked what made the difference compared to other candidates, she does not hesitate. "
I have more confidence now. Before, I blushed. I also have more confidence in myself. They may also have liked my wavy hair . "

Today, she has a contract in her pocket but continues her law studies in first year, in Saint-Louis. "
My contract is signed but I do not return to Paris until January. We will see what I am offered. In the meantime, they told me not to drop out of school and continue my studies, which I do, "adds the one who nevertheless dreams of a top international career. "
If I have the opportunity to work as a model, yes, I want to break into it. I like to scroll. My dream would be to work for haute couture and brands like Gucci, Chanel or even maybe in sports like Nike .
His dream may become reality in a few months ...
