But life in Oldenburg, Germany, where the family had moved after the war, was hard. And so in 1954 at age 15 her family moved to Chicago to reinvent themselves in a country of opportunity.

Miami, Chicago and London Will Amina would be proud to know that every three minutes a model is being booked on a job somewhere in the world through her namesake agency.
