12 Successful 80s and 90s Supermodels: Then and Now (4 of 7)

Laetitia Casta

No model caused more eyebrow envy than Laetitia Casta, who started her career at age 15 when photographer Frederic Cresseaux spotted her on a family vacation in Corsica. Following her surprise enlistment by Jeeby, she was crowned Miss Lumio 93. Since 1998, Casta has served as the brand ambassador for L’Oréal Paris. She fully enjoys her life these days, owns a flat in London, and spends her free time painting, writing, rollerblading, watching movies, and dancing.

Iman

The Somali-born Iman is one of the pioneers of the supermodel scene, first gaining attention in the mid-70s for her beautiful, exotic looks. All of the prominent designers begged for her services, and Yves Saint-Laurent went so far as to dub her his “dream woman.” She also launched Iman Cosmetics in 1994, the first of its kind to cater specifically to people with darker skin tones.
