“This idea that we are asking for a seat at the table... I’m done with the seat at the table. Let’s just dismantle the whole table,” The_Real_Iman tells FunmiFetto:
Despite, arguably the current ubiquity of Black models, Iman still has reservations. And it goes beyond fashion. “There’s always three steps forward, five steps back,” she says impassioned, pointing to wider global issues. “Look at what is happening across Europe, in America. We are seeing the rise of white supremacy reverberating across all industries. People are starting to feel like, ‘We’ve done enough.’ As if we are a charity. Don’t give me a handout, because that in itself is a racist act.
Soon, the subject of her husband is broached and her demeanour visibly softens. David Bowie and Iman were blissfully married in 1992 and stayed that way until his death, from cancer, in 2016. Iman refuses to refer to him as “late”. “He is not my ‘late husband’. He is my husband.” And she is very much his wife. “I don’t mind at all being referred to as ‘David Bowie’s wife’. But I always remind people that I existed before I met him. And he was also very particular.
When your husband was one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century, finding space to grieve privately becomes complicated. “It was too much. Too much. We lived a very private life and suddenly it felt like there was a target on mine and my daughter’s head. It got to the point where we had to leave our home [in New York City] because the public were always at the front door. Which I admire. I get it. But there was a point where it was like: ‘OK, go home now.
