(Original Caption) New York's newest fashion face, model Iman (full name Iman Mohamed Abdulmajid), a 20-year-old, 5-10, regally striking Somali tribeswoman, launches her modeling career at a press conference here. She was discovered by photographer-adventurer Peter Beard about a year ago. She's wearing a sari-like sheath of brightly patterned chiffon with her black hair coifed high off her forehead and the ivory tusks of a wart hog joined with silver around her neck.
