Famous ‘Filofaxes’

I really love Iman. She is amazing and was the perfect match for David Bowie. When asked ‘What do you think is your greatest achievement?”, Bowie replied “Marrying my wife.” The interviewer persisted with ‘But as a musician?’ “Nothing else matters.”

More than forty years ago, Iman made huge strides as a woman of colour in modelling and business at a time when there was no diversity. So I was interested to see this in 2024 UK Vogue magazine. Note also that they used the brand name Filofax for a Louis Vuitton Agenda.

  1. That was the reason behind the success of their marriage – love. Iman and David (the Jones’s) left fame at the door and operated to support, nurture and love each other and their daughter and David’s son from his first marriage to Angie. It really is no wonder that Joe the Lion (Duncan Jones) is a successful director, Iman is still making waves in modelling, and as for Lexi well she is an artist (like her dad but with paint), colour and abstracts rather than music and song.
