I worked with Iman some time ago so it was nice to work with her again for this gig. I love her energy. She treated everyone equally and readily engaged in conversation with everyone no matter who they were or what their work was. She made us feel so comfortable with her great sense of humor. In between each shoot, she let me take photos and short videos of her and kindly showed and posed her nails for me. She wanted to have a skin tone color and I showed her JINsoon Earth Clay and she loved it! For this shoot, I used JINsoon Coquette.
When she lived in lower Manhattan many years ago, she generously recommended my East Village salon whenever she had an interview, which was so nice of her! I am so appreciative to have been the recipient of Iman's support of small local businesses.
Truly adore pioneer, icon, legendary, supermodel and extraordinary person Iman!
