Model start

“People have always told me I should model. Finally, one man who stopped me on the street actually had details about getting started. Unfortunately, Canadians don’t really get me– I’m too ethnic looking for them. My mom’s German, but my dad’s Indian, so I got teased a lot in school, because kids never like what’s different. Anyway, when I went to live in Italy and then Paris, my career took off. Now I do everything–ads, editorial, and runway, which is my favorite part of being a model.”

The Trouble with beauty and fame

“I’m a suspicious person, and I definitely know when a man’s coming on to me because of my looks. And that makes me sick–like, all that matters is I’m pretty? Apparently, the Prince of Belgium is dying to meet me. He recently asked some photographer for my number, but he refused to give it out, thank God. People think I’m public property. They’ll come up to me on the street and kiss me, which is scary.”

Body talk

“Weight has never been a problem for me–I’m five feet ten, a hundred and twenty two pounds, I think. But I’m not pleased with my body–there’s not enough muscle tone. So when I’m in New York, which is where I’m based these days, I work out with a personal trainer. He has me doing weights and exercises at a gym. Later, we’ll work on aerobics.”

Fashion fetish

“Shopping is the best therapy–if I’m angry, upset, it always calms me down. But I’m into personal style–I won’t wear all one designer. Except Azzedine Alaia, whose stuff is incredibly sexy. Otherwise, I find creating a look much more fun. My biggest weakness is shoes. I can’t even count how many pairs I have. I doubled my closet space, but there’s still not enough room for them.”

    Neat article. I know it probably was a major hassle for her, but its kind of hard to blame guys for hitting on her, considering. :-)

    This is the result of a Pakistani who could not able to teach her Islamic study. now he is not happy for all of this which is being done by yasmeen.

    Interesting that she chooses to describe her father as “Indian” and not “Pakistani”…something alot of westernized Pakistani do abroad because of the bad press their country generates….

    I have been in love w/Yasmeen since I saw her walking down the Versace’s spring ‘92 collection w/Naomi & Helena. She was wearing the red-goddess grown. And the way she came up those stairs & the look on her face was that of perfection. I’m happy to hear that she might be coming back to the runway. She’s also married w/a daughter. Congrats!!! Ms.Yasmeen.

    I have recently got to know your bio well. I had seen you in shots before. Just want t oconfirm are you half Indian, or Pakistani. Not that it matters. Its just some bios say it Indian and some say Its Pakistani. To hear it from the woman herself will set the confusion to rest. Kepp up the good work.

    Where is Yasmeen today? Is she O.k ? All kind of rumors are out there that she is really sick. I hope that all that is NOT true. Please, please let me know. Thanks

    Does is state anywhere in her bio data that she used to be married – only for about 4 weeks? I only ask because my boyfriend claims to have divorced her on the grounds of adultery !!! I just want to know the truth as we are quite serious!
