justwastingtime Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Just did the arithmetic recently. Do you realize that Yasmeen quit modeling when she was only twenty-six??? I can't believe it. God, I wished she had kept going a few years longer. At least through the rest of her twenties, if not longer. Age-wise, stopping when she did would be as if Cindy Crawford stopped in 1992. I guess she left us all still hungry, which isn't a bad way to leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radolgc Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I am sure she was older than 26 when she retired...and the german elle editorial from 1993 posted a few posts before is with another model, not Yasmeen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justwastingtime Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 The bio below from NY mag seems quite authoritative. It lists her as retiring in 1997, but that may have meant only from runway. I found VS covers of her in 1998 below, though note one of them is a "sale" cover, and the pics in this are probably all going to re-runs. Of course, nothing would have stopped them from using some previous year's pic of Yasmeen, but I figure for a regular cover that would be less likely, and even for inside photos, they like to keep the models and the "look" current to what they are selling now. http://nymag.com/fashion/models/yghauri/yasmeenghauri/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radolgc Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Yes, they use lots of older pics in vs catalogs, so some could be even a few years old. I think her last jobs were for german catalogs and vs...she did mostly money jobs at the end. I guess modeling was not her passion, but just a job. However she did it in such brilliant way and has produced millions of great images all together...we can not complain...but i dream of seeing her back, which will never happen;( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justwastingtime Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Here's her cover for the March 1998 issue of "Shape". Does anybody have any idea how long the lead time is between a cover picture being taken and being published? I imagine a few months at least.

tag1555 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 The impression I got from her interviews is that she was smart enough to know that modeling doesn't last forever, and had a plan for the rest of her life that she followed. Good for her. I think she got married right around the time she retired from modeling, too, so it was probably just a job that she put behind her without much regret once she moved on with her life. The shots we see are pretty glamorous, but a lot of the job of being a model is monotonous and dull: getting fitted for the clothes, getting makeup put on, prep work for the shot, etc. The pay is excellent, and there is a certain lifestyle that comes with it, but there's much not to like about the job too. Yasmeen also said that her family, especially her dad (an imam), wasn't thrilled with her decision to go into modeling; that didn't stop her, but leaving it behind probably removed a source of tension between them, as well.
