At age fourteen, Werbowy was 5'11", willowy and sporting braces. She attended St. Sofia Elementary School and Cawthra Park Secondary School. Professional career Werbowy had never seriously considered modeling, but found herself launched into the business after meeting a schoolmate's mother who headed Toronto's Susan J. Model & Talent Management. At age 14, Werbowy won a national modelling contest, but after a year of working with Susan J. Model & Talent, however, Werbowy thought she could be doing more with another agency and left. After switching over to Elite Models, Werbowy began landing several prominent bookings in Canada but still had not achieved much international success. When Elite Canada's head scout, Elmer Olsen, started his own agency, Werbowy followed and her career began to flourish. Within a few years, and under the guidance of International Management Group, Werbowy had gained a foothold on the international modelling stage. Daria has considered taking a break from the fashion industry when she is 27 to sail around the world. Though she relinquished the world's No.1 runway model status to new "it girls", Werbowy holds the record for opening and closing the most shows in one season. To date, Werbowy's clients have included Lancôme, Prada, Yves Saint Laurent, Pepe Jeans, Roberto Cavalli, Gucci, Hermès, Valentino, David Yurman, Missoni, Versace, Louis Vuitton and Chanel. In her first season, Fall/Winter 2003, Werbowy captured two of the modeling world's most coveted assignments: the cover of Vogue Italia, thrice (in July, August and October); and Prada's Fall/Winter ad campaign. In July 2007, Forbes listed Werbowy as the ninth highest-earning model in the world after Karolina Kurkova, Natalia Vodianova, Carolyn Murphy, Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima, Heidi Klum, Kate Moss and Gisele Bündchen. Her earnings between June 2006 and June 2007 were in the order of $3.5 million. On June 3, 2008, it was announced that she would be inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame.

In 2000, Warsame began modeling with a booking for the Sears catalogue. She was in her early 20s and five months pregnant with her son Hamzah when she accepted this shoot. Although she worked as a fashion model in Canada for almost two years, Warsame's look was considered too "haute couture" for the local scene, making work scarce. So, in the summer of 2002, she headed for Paris. Her breakthrough came later that year with a feature for the Italian Vogue, photographed by Steven Meisel. Career Warsame has worked for agencies like Next Toronto/Montreal, Next Paris, Next London, IMG New York, View Barcelona and Tony Jones Amsterdam. She has been featured on the covers of a.o.

Quotes "I hope my face is not my only fortune...I believe I had a life before modeling and will always have a life after modeling." "I believe that "Black beauty" is underrated and isn't appreciated, so that's what I want to represent in this modeling industry. I want to inspire young girls and women all around the world to follow there dreams, especially women of color. I am blessed to have a beautiful six year old son name Hamzah who is the love of my life and my source of inspiration. Here's my biography: Yasmin Warsame (full name Yasmin Abshir Warsame) was born on May 5, 1976 in Mogadishu, Somalia and she took refugee in Canada in 2000. She is a famous fashion model. She emigrated from Somalia to Toronto, Canada in 2000 and that's the time when she started her modeling career. Although she was pregnant in five months she took a job for the Sears catalogue.

There she was photographed by Steven Meisel for the Italian Vogue. From then on she started appearing in magazines and modeled and did commercials for Christian Dior, Jean Paul Gaultier, Valentino, Dolce & Gabbana, Escada, Hermcs, Shiseido, Chanel, GAP and H&M. "
August 3, 200915 yr Author Young Lovely Swan Elizaveta Vishnyakova (ya I know she's only 13 but I think this young lady is going to be BIG one day) "Is she not gorgeous like a perfect doll" this was my first impression of the young new face. She comes from the Ukraine and was discovered by Image Discovery at the moment is the growing beauty in Tokyo, she is represent there by switch models . That is a great start for Elizaveta, she can learning in Tokyo a lot, she can doing her first experience, she can starting to build her book there, she can growing to a real big model. Elizaveta has a very impressive and strong facial expressions, she looks very fresh but at the same very strong. Her presences in front of the camera is amazing and thats with her only 13 years, for sure Elizaveta will go far in modeling. She is in her development now, and already 173 cm tall (80-59-86). Meet the lovely beauty of Elizaveta. Remember her because one day she will rock the fashion world." http://allaboutmodels.blogspot.com I don't agree with the above quote about her "facial expressions" she looks like a pissed off teen (maybe she is). A smile would look much better on her. Over all she looks like she's not very happy. I think she needs a few more years experience to develop her personality and her on camera presents. Anyway, I still think she's awesome!
