I recently interviewed IMAN for Beauty Interviews about her new Global Chic Collection which is sold exclusively on HSN. I couldn’t resist and ask her advice to young girls who are aspiring models.

And this is IMAN’s advice: ”First finish school and then have a plan and strategy if modeling doesn’t work out; not all beautiful girls can become models”.

IMAN to me is one the most beautiful women of all time. And I’m not talking just about physical beauty. IMAN is also a talented business woman who is the founder and CEO of Iman Cosmetics and ImanCosmetics.com, skincare, and fragrances.

IMAN. 

IMAN Cosmetics is the first cosmetics and skincare collection designed for all women with skin of color. IMAN also created a new fashion accessories and jewelery line called: The Global Chic Collection by IMAN, exclusively for HSN.

The Global Chic Collection by IMAN was first successfully launched on HSN in December 2007, and is now back on HSN Sunday May 18th, with new handbags, jewelry, fashion accessories, and even a Global Chic makeup!

Here is an exert from an exclusive interview with IMAN for Beauty Interviews.com where she discusses with Marta Walsh The Global Chic Collection. The complete interview with IMAN will be featured in Beauty Interviews upcoming June 2008 edition, so make sure you stop by!

Marta: Your newest collection Global Chic by IMAN also includes: handbags, fashion accessories, and jewelry. What inspired you to develop this collection?
IMAN: Global Chic is inspired by my journeys around the globe – from the saturated landscapes and bold sophisticated colors of Africa, India, and Bali, to the glamour of the Hollywood Hills, and the fashionably chic streets of London, Paris, Milan, and New York – as well as my personal collection and sentimental items from my husband. I will dress you, jewel you, and accessorize you from head to toe – giving you an extensive line of fashionable, and affordable pieces that can be instantly incorporated into your life – with zero effort!

Marta: What are some of your favorite pieces from the Global Chic collection?
IMAN: Whether I am off to a business meeting, the PTA, or a romantic dinner out, I rely on stunning jewelry and accessories to keep me looking fresh. With that said, my favorite pieces are the Global Chic Signature Tote which comes in a beautiful black patent or faux-python and is perfect for day-to-day use or travelling, and for the evening definitely the Knock Out Ring in colors. These glamorous cocktail rings are available in three colors and will instantly update a little black dress!

IMAN: It is hip, glamorous beauty essentials on-the-go for all women regardless of their skin tone.It is truly for global glamour girls everywhere.
