Iman's emergence in 1975 as the first Black supermodel sparked a shift in the representation of cultural identity, initiating a broadening of definitions of beauty that continues today. Her first book 'Iman', is an entertaining hybrid visual essay on the cultural-political power of good looks. A quarter-century of the most famous photographs of Iman by classic image-makers are contextualised with writing from contributors chosen by Iman herself, as well as her own witty take on the contradictions and challenges of her much mythologised career.
