Yasmin Gauri is one of the brightest representatives of the modeling business of the 90s. She is on a par with such legends as Claudia Schifer, Linda Evangelista, Cindy Crawford. Her exotic appearance and impeccable plasticity were appreciated by many fashion houses, including Chanel, Valentino, Hermes, Christian Dior.
Biography: early years
Yasmeen Ghauri was born on March 23, 1971 in Montreal. Her parents are of different nationalities: her father is Pakistani and her mother is German. The mixing of blood gave Yasmin an exotic appearance, which subsequently earned her multimillion-dollar contracts. It was only in childhood that she suffered from her original appearance. Peers constantly spread rot and rewarded her with offensive nicknames.
The parents' marriage was short-lived. The family began to burst at the seams when Yasmin was barely five years old. Four years later, the parents separated. Yasmin stayed with her father, who by that time had become an imam.
From the age of 17, Gauri combined her college studies with work at McDonald's. Soon, the spectacular girl was noticed by Ed Zachariya, a scout from a modeling agency. He sent Gauri to the casting.
Yasmin easily passed the selection and was invited to New York. The father was indignant when he found out about his daughter's plans. He was not just a strict Muslim, but also an imam, so he categorically forbade his daughter to engage in modeling. However, Yasmin wanted a different life, and she had to secretly leave for the States.
Career
In New York, Gauri was snapped up by eminent fashion houses. She almost immediately signed lucrative contracts with Versace, Chanel and Dior.
On the catwalk, Yasmin was unrivaled due to her striking appearance, natural grace and artistry. All the trends of the 90s looked spectacular on her: things with wide shoulders, short skirts, massive jewelry, catchy makeup, lush bouffants.
Yasmin worked both as a fashion model and as a fashion model. She has been the face of many brands, including Chanel, Emmanuel Ungaro, Escada, Ralph Lauren, Revlon, Sonia Rykiel. Yasmin has graced the covers of a number of glossy magazines. So, she repeatedly starred for Marie Claire, Flare, Vogue.
The peak of her popularity came in the mid-90s. Famous couturiers lined up for her next contract. In 1996, Yasmin surprised the fashion world with her retirement announcement. Then she said that she made such a decision in the name of the family. By that time, Gauri had already met her future husband.
After leaving the modeling business, Yasmin entered the university, where she studied to be an economist. Subsequently, she continued to expand her knowledge base at numerous seminars and business courses. At the same time, Yasmin categorically refused the tempting offers of fashion houses to participate in shows.
Personal life
After leaving the world of fashion, Gaudi does not give interviews. There is almost no information about her personal life. It is known that Yasmin got married and gave birth to a daughter. The girl was named Maya.
