justwastingtime Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Actually, that raises a good point. Has Yasmeen even worked in the 21rst century? If not, that's another thing I have against the 21rst century... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocketQueen Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 She hasn't worked a lot after '96 but here's some December '97 photos I have : ( Don't remember the source ) Les Copains 1997 via firstview Harriet Selling (Spring-Summer 1997) same source Victoria's Secret S/S 1997 via capt bob Victoria's secret 1998 capt bob This video says 1999/'00 but it's actually 1997 -1993 or something : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34ieo8dqNxI#t=24 I guess that's all I have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAMAMOCA Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I can't think of any work after '95-'96?? Yasmeen is the TOC for the 1997 SISE mag issue (Tyra Banks cover, 21 Feb). Plus a supplement pic in the Mar 97 SI magazine issue, in "Letters". She is also in the 98 SI wall and desk calendars (both with Niki Taylor on the cover): 6 pages in the desk calendar. Can try a search here. She's also featured in Beauty Flash, by Stephane Marais, her shot listed as 1997. That's a fun book, but can be quite pricey in the second-hand market!

justwastingtime Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Wikipedia lists her as having retired in '96, but that must have only been retired from runway. She was cover of '97 VS Christmas sale, and cover in an Aug '98 VS. I never knew what to make of her '97 SI TOC or the calendars for that matter - I thought those could have been left over shots from prior years, but probably that's wrong. I'd bet that the letter section shot was one of those faux-irate "what happened to my favorite girl from last time?" letters, which they answered with a "here you go" picture. I don't know how popular she was with the SI readership - I always figured she was too sophisticated a taste for their core demographic. But now I see from your search engine that she was cover of calendar '95. And now, a good scan of that letter-section shot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justwastingtime Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Yasmeen inspired a comic character named "Jasmine Rashad". Resemblance is obvious: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justwastingtime Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Lovely pic; one of her smouldering ones. Here's a couple of insanely cute ones from VS. She had so many looks, she was such an asset for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketQueen Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Thanks ! Does Yasmeen have children ? That's one reason to quit modeling.. But in case she doesn't, I have no idea why she's no longer a model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justwastingtime Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 She does have kids - she quit to start a family, I guess. I searched the NY Times archives for mentions of her and found this from an article in Apr '97: "Designers may be appalled at models' fees and agency shenanigans, but the knife cuts both ways. Many won't touch the once-hot and still beautiful Yasmeen Ghauri or Karen Mulder, neither of whom is photographed much anymore." I also found this in a comments section for an article in Jan '08. I can only retrieve this fragment: "As for Yasmeen Ghauri, if there is one model who's most likely not making a comeback or an occasional appearance it is she. I don't think many ..." Frustrating. Finish that sentence how you will. But I think really she had her fun, and now she'd done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiral Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Thanks ! Does Yasmeen have children ? That's one reason to quit modeling.. But in case she doesn't, I have no idea why she's no longer a model. Yes, she's got two kids. A boy and a girl, I believe. But I personally think it's rather nice that she retired from modeling many years ago, because she's now seen as a sort of mythical figure.

I am sure the almighty is quite busy doing other things.I'm grateful however that this entity has time to bring us such fine creations of the human species on occasion.

SympathysSilhouette Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Does anyone have an HQ of an editorial she did back in the 90s? I no longer have the pictures, but she was wearing - if I recall correctly - a gold-colored dress which was open around the hips (thus showing off her lack of underwear).
