Matchmaker: Iman was famously introduced to Bowie by hairdresser and stylist Teddy
Previously, in an interview with the Sunday People, Teddy spoke of his motivation for matching Bowie with Iman.
'David was very lonely. It was so sad – all this hard work David did each day and then he was alone.
'I didn’t want to speak to Iman at first. I thought it would be so cliché if I say ‘How beautiful you are’ but you end up doing that and we started talking and a light bulb went on.'
He then added that he begged David to attend a birthday party in NYC, where he knew Iman would be attending.
Teddy said: 'David arrived in a white Mustang sports car, wearing white jeans and a white jacket, all denim. Iman showed up in a black Mercedes wearing all black leather. And I thought, what could be more perfect.
'The minute she walked in all the attention went to her, she just claimed the room. She had a big smile and her and David looked at each other and it was love at first sight, you could feel the electricity, something went off.
'They spent the night talking to each other like they had known each other forever. They were looking at each other like, ‘Now what, shall we skip dessert and go home?’'.

Upon hearing the news of David's death, Teddy added: 'The last couple of years I just started feeling something’s not right here, he was too quiet.
I didn’t know anything and I didn’t want to start any rumour. It was just my own personal feeling.
'He had a very small circle who knew. It was a shock when I found out he died. All of a sudden my brain was in a hurricane, I couldn’t think straight. I didn’t fall asleep until 8am the next morning.
'When I woke I thought maybe that was all a big dream and put on the news. And there of course were pictures of David, and it’s not a dream.'
