Yazemeenah Rossi, born December 21, 1955, in Corsica, France, has graced magazine covers worldwide and appeared in major advertising campaigns. Alongside modeling, she has pursued acting, with roles in films such as Timeless Beauty, Relevator, and The Grasslands. Unlike many in the fashion industry who begin in their teens, Yazemeenah launched her modeling career after age 30—an age when many models retire. Her success came quickly, defying the conventional path of working unpaid jobs to build a portfolio. Over three decades, she has consistently challenged the norms of age in modeling, proving that beauty and presence do not fade with time.
Beyond modeling, Yazemeenah has always been a creator. She became a mother of two by age 20 and worked from home, designing clothes, knitting, and doing interior design for friends and clients. She never envisioned a conventional life and remained active and independent, even while raising children. Her philosophy is rooted in empowerment, often highlighting the strength of women supporting one another. Despite her long-standing success, she acknowledges that the fashion world still heavily favors youth. Nevertheless, Yazemeenah Rossi remains a symbol of timeless beauty and resilience, inspiring others with her authenticity and refusal to conform to ageist industry standards.
