The champagne flowed and we danced until three in the morning!!Īfter a week of reminiscing old times and friends, I thought it would be fitting to look back on Yasmin’s career and life achievements as well as some special moments we’ve shared during our many years of friendship.Īt the age of 17, Yasmin was scouted by Elliott Brown modelling agency while working at a London boutique, and in less than a decade, cemented herself as one of the highest earning models of the 1980’s. It was such an incredible moment, unbelievable in fact and definitely a night to remember. All of a sudden the curtains were pulled across and there she was!!! What a surprise, there were paparazzi flashbulbs everywhere as well as hundreds of mobile phone images being shot….she couldn’t believe it and when she spotted me in the crowd, she cried. The music was turned off, the lights dimmed and everyone was silent. The celebration was hosted by Yasmin’s husband Simon Le Bon and members of Duran Duran at One Lombard Street Restaurant in London’s EC1. The evening was a complete surprise to Yasmin, she thought she and Simon were going to dinner, just the two of them.Īpproximately 150 guests awaited her arrival and five minutes beforehand we were warned she was on her way.
