Oscar de la RentaYeah, just what the world needed another gorgeous Somalian model! All of a sudden it's an invasion of fabulous African-American models hitting the runway and Ubah Hassan is one of them. The 21 year old Somalian beauty is just simply flawless.
Ubah Hassan fled Somalia in 1991 with her mother and sisters due to political unrest while her father and brother sought refuge in nearby Kenya. They all reunited in Canada in the year of 2001 after a decade of separation.
Ubah Hassan was spotted at 17 and signed to Click Model Management in New York. She was featured in the first ever Italian Vogue "black issue". Ubah has become Ralph Lauren's muse and the face of his spring/summer 2009 campaign.
Someone really needs to study these Somalian models because they have to be growing their beauty from a magical tree!
