Iman has also worked with many notable photographers, including Helmut Newton, Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, and Annie Leibovitz. She was a favourite of Yves Saint-Laurent, who once described her as his 'dream woman'. She became a muse for many prominent designers, including Halston, Gianni Versace, Calvin Klein, Issey Miyake and Donna Karan. With her long neck, tall stature, slender figure, fine features, and copper-toned skin, Iman was an instant success in the fashion world, though she herself insists that her looks are merely or typically Somali. She soon landed some of the most prestigious magazine covers, establishing herself as a supermodel. Her first modeling assignment was for Vogue a year later in 1976. While still at university, Iman was discovered by American photographer Peter Beard, and she moved to the United States to begin a modeling career. She studied political science at the University of Nairobi for a brief period in 1975. At his behest, she and her mother and siblings subsequently traveled to Kenya and were later joined by her father and younger sister. Following political unrest in Somalia, Iman's father moved the family back to the country. At age four she was sent to boarding school in Egypt, where she spent most of her childhood and adolescence.

Iman lived with her grandparents during her formative years.

She has four siblings: two brothers, Elias and Feisal, and two younger sisters, Idil and Nadia. Her father is a diplomat and a former Somali ambassador to Saudi Arabia, and her mother was a gynecologist. Iman is the daughter of Mariam and Mohamed Abdulmajid. She was later renamed Iman at her grandfather's urging. Iman was born Zara Mohamed Abdulmajid in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia.
