A stunning African beauty who brought countless couture creations to life on the runway with her spectacularly elegant walk, graceful spins, slinky swirls and twirls. Her uniquely beautiful face with it's cool, haughty expression was ideal for modeling couture.
When fashion masters like Yves Saint Laurent, Thierry Mugler, Gianfranco Ferre, Christian Lacroix, Azzadine Alaii ,Geoffrey Beene and photographer Irving Penn all fell under her spell, a fashion star was clearly born....even if we weren't meant to enjoy her ravishing beauty for years to come. Miss Niane's accidental death in Paris in 2008 shocked the fashion flock.
