etc
Yasmeen Ghauri was born in Montreal, Quebec to a Pakistani father, Moin
Ghauri, and a German mother, Linda Ghauri. Early on in her life, Ghauri
had a difficult childhood often being teased by her classmates at school
for being too thin and for her ethnicity. During those difficult days
she began to shun people and found refuge in Islam. Ghauri was
reportedly working at a McDonalds restaurant at the age of 17 when she
was discovered by Montreal hairdresser and salon artistic director of
Platine Coiffure Edward Zaccharia. At the restaurant, she often turned
up dressed in black from head to toe and people described her as having a
rebellious nature. Despite this, she was named Employee of the Month.
Soon after her discovery, there was a shift in mentality within the
fashion industry, moving from predominantly all-American models to more
“ethnic” models, a trend which Ghauri fit.
