Biography: early years
Yasmin Gauri (Yasmeen Ghauri) was born March 23, 1971 in Montreal. Her parents are of different nationalities: her father is Pakistani, and her mother is German. The mixing of blood gave Yasmin an exotic appearance, which subsequently brought her multi-million dollar contracts. That's only in childhood, she suffered because of the original appearance. Peers constantly rotted her and awarded offensive nicknames.
The marriage of the parents was short-lived. The family began to crack at the seams when Yasmin was barely five years old. Four years later, the parents separated. Yasmin was left with his father, who by that time had become an imam.
From the age of 17, Gauri combined her college studies with work at McDonald's. Soon, a spectacular girl noticed Ed Zachariah, a scout from a modeling agency. He sent Gauri to the casting.
Yasmin easily passed the selection and was invited to New York. The father was indignant when he learned about his daughter's plans. He was not just a strict Muslim, but also an imam, so he categorically forbade his daughter to engage in modeling business. However, Yasmin wanted a different life, and she had to secretly leave for the States.

In New York, Gauri was in great demand at eminent fashion houses. She almost immediately signed lucrative contracts with Versace, Chanel and Dior.
On the catwalk Yasmin was not equal due to the bright appearance, natural grace and artistry. All the trends of the 90s looked spectacularly on her: things with broad shoulders, short skirts, massive jewelry, catchy makeup, lush bouffants.

The peak of its popularity came in the mid-90s. Famous couturiers lined up for her in line for the next contract. In 1996, Yasmin surprised the fashion world with her retirement statement. Then she stated that she had made such a decision in the name of the family. By that time, Gauri had already met her future husband.
After leaving the modeling business, Yasmine entered the university, where she studied economics. Subsequently, she continued to replenish her knowledge at numerous seminars and business courses. At the same time, Yasmin categorically refused the tempting offers of fashion houses to participate in shows.
