Model Time !

Name: Ubah Hassan
Origins: Somalia
Birthdate: 8.27.1987
Current location: New York





There is something about Somali women that I love. Beautiful plain skin tones, thin features, they are mostly tall and well-shaped, very simple and natural. To me they are just part of the most beautiful women on earth. They took over the fashion world a while ago with Iman, becoming Africa's ambassadors out there at Uncle Sam's, alongside Kenyan models.

Ubah Hassan is one of them, from the new generation. Her career started in 2008, when she became a muse for Ralph Lauren, just after being featured in the oh-so-fantastic Vogue Italia's All Black Issue spread in July. She then appeared in another issue of Vogue Italia, and did Arise magazine cover for the February '09 issue.
