Katoucha is missing, she was famous in the early 90's & 80's :

Paris police seek missing model, former Saint Laurent muse

Fri Feb 8, 2:06 PM ET


PARIS (AFP) - French police were searching Friday for a Guinean former catwalk model, one time muse of the couture giant Yves Saint Laurent, a week after she vanished from her Paris houseboat.

Nicknamed the "black princess", the 47-year-old Katoucha went missing from her home on a central stretch of the River Seine Friday night, according to relatives who reported her missing on Monday.
The mother-of-three disappeared after being dropped off near her home from a party and her handbag was later recovered nearby.
Investigators are exploring all lines of inquiry, including a fatal accident or suicide, and divers trawled the Seine in vain for her body this week.
Born in Conakry, Katoucha worked with the greatest couture stars at the height of her career in the 1980s including Saint Laurent who "loved her enormously", according to Dominique Deroche, head of PR for the designer.
"She was exactly like an Yves Saint Laurent drawing, a proud head on a long neck, very slim but with strong shoulders, made for haute couture."
"She looked magnificent on the catwalk and often wore very powerful outfits -- like a cubist navy blue dress with doves around the neckline."
Katoucha left the catwalk for good in 1994, but in recent years she made headlines as an outspoken campaigner against female circumcision, launching a foundation against the practice.
"Today at the age of 47, I want a woman's combat and I have chosen the battle against excision," she said in a recent interview.
Excised at the age of nine, in her home country Guinea, Katoucha recounted the ordeal in a recent book entitled "In My Flesh".
The daughter of the writer and historian Djibril Tamsir Niane, Katoucha spent an idyllic childhood in Conakry.
"I grew up surrounded byu hibiscus and ylang-ylang flowers. I used to get drunk on the richest perfumes and saw myself as a perfumer or a model," she wrote in the book.
But then her life changed forever.
"We lived in Conakry, life was sweet, then one day mother said we were going to the cinema. And I found myself the victim of a horror movie.
"An unimaginable trauma, that I had never managed to talk about, until I found love and wrote 'In my flesh'," she said.
She said she saw her career as a top model, first with the designer Thierry Mugler, as a form of "revenge" for the horror of excision.
"I embodied the most arrogant and admired kind of feminity, I who was supposed to be diminished."

It's crazy when you think about. Those runway shows are only twenty years old, but they look like from another planet. Some of the pieces could have easily been shown on this seaon's runway, but they are far and between, the rest is so outrageous, and not in a good way. The biggest difference though, has got to be the way models walked on the runway back then. LMAO, all that twirling and posing. I hope we never go back to that, I much prefer the way it's done now.

I agree that the twirling and posing was a little over the top, but I think the rigidness and lack of emotion in today's show is taking it to the other extreme. I think fashion shows of today are totally depressing. No one smiles. It's like the girls are complete and total robots just walking from point A to point B.

From Yahoo news:
PARIS - Paris judicial police say the body of former top model Katoucha Niane has been found in the River Seine.
Police say the body was found Thursday and that a subsequent autopsy confirmed it as the model's.

Police say the body showed no signs of foul play, pointing to the possibility that she may have fallen accidentally in the river.

The former model went missing in January.
