Every season a fashion It Model stands out from the crowd and we’ve got our eye on the lady who's tipped to be the “next big thing” for this Autumn Winter 2015 season.
She’s only 18 years old but Dutch model Imaan Hammam has already walked for the likes of Alexander McQueen and Versace, as well as appearing in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Imaan, who is of Moroccan and Egyptian descent, was discovered in Amsterdam in 2010 and made her modeling breakout in 2013 in Givenchy’s Paris Fashion Week showcase.
Since then, she’s appeared in Vogue’s American, Italian and French editions and joined supermodels Karlie Kloss, Joan Smalls and Cara Delevingne on the nine-model fold-out September cover [below]. So it's time to get to know Imaan. Here's your 10-step guide...[
