Iman recently appeared on an episode of Oprah's Where Are They Now? which was taped before David Bowie's passing. On the episode, she opened up about her marriage to Bowie, and her decision to retire from modeling 26 years ago. Here's what she had to say, as reprinted by E! News:
On David Bowie:
"People say, 'Do you give him fashion tips?' What are you, crazy? We're talking about David Bowie. He is fashion!...When we are home, we are just Iman and David. We're not anybody else. You have to be at the right time your life that you're ready for an everlasting relationship, that it becomes a first priority in your life. If your career is important to you, don't get married and have children, because something will give. I know as women we want to be able to have it all, but we can't have it all at the same time. So, make your priority of what you want at that time. Sometimes you don't even have to get married. Why do you have to get married?"
On retiring from modeling:
"I was just starting to create Iman Cosmetics, so I wanted to be also taken seriously and not be at fashion shows every day. But what really put the nail there for me was that I read they held a show—an hour—for Paris Hilton. I knew the game had changed. It became where everybody wants to be seen and it's become a different animal. I mean, when you have D-listers...We're not talking about Linda Fargo from Bergdorf Goodman. You know, you hold a show for that person because she is the establishment; she is fashion. But, seriously? Paris Hilton? No."
