In an interview with Net-A-Porter's digital glossy, The Edit, Iman opened up about her career, family, gaining weight with glee (seriously) and more. While the age-defying beauty doesn't consider herself a "model" any more -- the role of mother, mogul and Mrs. David Bowie suits her just fine.
Check out a few of our favorite quotes from Iman's interview with The Edit and flip through the slideshow below for a look at the Somalian stunner's amazing style evolution.
On modeling: "I'm not a model any more. I'm just me. I'm not working in front of a camera."
On swapping clothes with David Bowie: "Absolutely no, no. I can't fit in his clothes; I don't have a boy's body. I wasn't built that way."
On her daughter, Alexandria Zahra, possibly modeling: "I definitely will not encourage my daughter to do it."
On her recent weight gain after breaking her foot: "My natural weight is 130 pounds and I'm 142 now. I was 160 when I was pregnant, so it's a little too much for me. Still, I call it natural Botox. I look at myself in the mirror and I've never looked younger. It's the weight I have put on."
On being a normal family in New York City: "I still take my little girl to school. David picks her up. It's easier than any place we've ever lived. People are too cool to bother you."
On being a successful black woman: "I think it is easier for people to understand successful people of color now. It's very mainstream; it's not unusual. I'm not constantly in the papers but I think that works for me. It's given me longevity."
