Getting Personal With Iman
The New York Times
The supermodel talks about life after David Bowie, their Catskills refuge and the perfume inspired by their love.
You’re never getting into her bedroom. You probably won’t get past the front door. For years, people have tried to deduce where exactly the supermodel Iman and her husband David Bowie had secreted themselves in the Catskill Mountains.
They never managed to find out. Even now, few Woodstock locals know the precise location, though it is not far from the storied town that the citified Mr. Bowie derided on his first visit in 2002 as “too cute for words.”
Yet when, a few years later, while recording an album at a local studio, Mr. Bowie happened upon a listing for a mountainside property with views little changed since James Fenimore Cooper described them, he saw in the landscape something more: an escape route from fame.
