She is 5'8 1/2, and I have ran into her SEVERAL times, most recently walking by her on the street (both of us in flats)... and guess what? I am 5'8 1/2, and have been measured recently and even measured myself to check. We are the exact same height. If she were 5'6, she would look like a shrimp next to other models, and heights in the fashion industry with models are very strict. These girls are rarely under 5'9.... and at 5'8 1/2 she is indeed rather short for a model, but not categorically so. Besides, extreme heels only enhance the illusion. More recently there have been claims of 5'10, but those are incorrect. She is just shy of 5'9.

No - Iman is no taller that 5' 6" and so is David - I know because I stood next to both of them at a reception held at Mary Boone Gallery 2001 Chelsea - not tall at all - but gorgeous - I was shocked to see their actual height - please correct the 5'8" - it's not accurate at all.

I had to google "Iman's height" - because I was at an art reception in Chelsea, Mary Boone Gallery in 2001 - and Iman was standing w/Bowie - and guess what? I was astounded to see that I was much taller at 5' 9" - she and her husband were no taller than 5' 6" - they must always stand near shorter people - I stood next to her - and to him - and should have taken a photograph too - but here's the truth - and so - I'm not sure what heels she is wearing to make anyone think she's taller - she is not tall. I noticed on Berkus' show - that the camera panned out in wide angle so she was closer to it - appearing very tall again - it's not correct. However, she's beautiful no matter what height she is - and her husband, well, I guess he wants to be taller. I wish I had her neck - she is model gorgeous - always even in her fifties. Hope that clears the height issue up. |
