Katoucha Niane...

Disbelief on learning the tragic news...

I supported (and will continue to support) her campaign against

female genital mutilation...

Spare a Prayer for her family and friends...

"Niane, known as Katoucha, was the face of Yves Saint Laurent,

the French haute couture guru, in the 1980s before leaving modelling

to launch a campaign against female genital mutilation..."
