Yasmeen Ghauri

good question where is yasmeen? and how is she? now is the best time for her to re emerge if she chooses too cause the 90s supermodels are enjoying a great comeback on runway and magazine covers all are back they seem to be regrouping...linda, christy, naomi, cindy, stephanie, claudia, eva, helena, amber, shalom, carla even karen and nadege made a rare appearance recently, its such a shame yasmeen is missing from the group. she was part of that supermodel 90s era. i miss meghan douglas too where is she? has she ever returned?

i still think helena is the woman to ask she knows about yasmeen and is i think still in contact with her, i wish someone would ask helena and tell us. they spent alot of time together also carla could know and vendela. nadege was her friend too she should know. i don't think karen is still in contact. those were her main friends in modelling

it seems to me that she is settled with her family and doesn't want any paparrazi and media attention that may come if she returned. she was protective over her private life plus she has a daughter or maybe more children to think about and coming back could affect their lives.

that canadian fashion tv show with jeanne baker or whatever she's called :lol:they always followed her career cause she is their "local girl done good" they would want to cover her return and it would be high exposure which she might not want. there are so many question to ask her cause its been so long. plus her father, yasmeen had it tough i think she was the only supermodel whose parents weren't supportive of her career she could have made up with her parents and she may have promised never to return. all this is speculation i know nothing:huh:

i bet many designers have tried to contact her especially for runway like galliano who liked her very much and styed loyal to the 90s supermodels. there is a curiousity factor too its been 10 solid years of her retirement....oh well yasmeen will have to remain an enigma
 
thanks sanja for the video!! and mojopin for the scans!! my favourite part is still when she looks at herself in the mirror and applies her make up its just so entrancing

there was an article in Time magazine about yasmeen....

that's a good idea but I'm sure they wouldn't say anything.

I've also thought that, she was the perfect catwalker and hardly those designers would forget her.

I even don't remember her last apparition :o:cry:

yeah i know what you mean she wasn't really big and part of the goddess set at the early versace shows, her time was a little later, also on the runway she wasn't one of the best walkers, her presence wasn't as strong as linda, christy, naomi, cindy, stephanie, helena, yasmeen & karen all had so much personality and presence on the runway even claudia with her waddle walk :lol: but bless claudia she got better as the years went on

i don't remember yasmeen last runway show either :huh: but i do remember reading in the fashion press that they claimed she pulled out of a YSL show suddenly in 1997 sparking rumours that she had retired but that wasn't exactly true, they expected to see yasmeen like every year at the shows but she didn't appear cause she had enrolled into college, she did say she didn't want to miss out on her education and was looking to get back to studying, i think its reasonable for her to do this and i respect that, didn't christy go to college too? i think she was the only other supermodel to return to education

then yasmeen got married to her long term boyfriend became pregnant had her daughter and settled down. her modelling career was quite long from 1988 to 1997

i am feeling optimistic people in the industry will always be wanting her back for one reason or another (curiousity alone would be a big factor) designers were used to seeing her every year for almost 10 years and then suddebly she is gone :( and if the right situation came along maybe for charity work she will do it? its possible we are lucky now the timing is perfect with the vintage supermodels making a big impact again, its so good to see distinctive beauties linda, christy, naomi, helena, claudia still getting high profile work along with the current crop, its healthy and more balanced now then it used to be we have the older curvy women with the young girls. we just need helena, carla & nadege and some big name designers to convince yasmeen, get on the case girls :lol:
 
mojopin another super rare versace ad, i have never seen this before!! i love it that pose....shot from below a tyen trait with head titling back eyes closed its perfect for yasmeen's oblong face. which i might add an usual shaped face for a model most models have compact or heart shape faces which are easier to photograph. the only other models i can think of with yasmeen's shape are tatiana patitz and going back in time jerry hall
 
here is another similar pose, sharp angles, amazing symmetry refined features that narrow fine tipped nose, a full mouth, ol skool hollywood with exotic colouring a rare combo east definately meets west

one of her strengths was also her profile, haughty, sophisticated with attitude here are examples

retro again with stunning meghan douglas for uk vogue, i love the retro look for meghan too the quirky "i love lucy" look she had for a while in the mid 90s

These little runway trolls of today have no idea what the term 'model' means. I get irritated when I see what the industry is hiring now. Models used to at least look sophisticated. Not any more.
