About Maimouna

My name is Maïmouna Coulibaly-Lange. I was born in Paris and am originally from Mali. I currently live in Munich, where I work as a Sales Operations OEM & Subsidiaries and have recently started a professional career as a photo model.

In 2017, at the age of 32, I had the opportunity to work with a photographer, and above all, a friend, Nir Avner, on a beauty project as a model.

My Story

How I Got Started

Then, in 2024, a meeting unexpectedly led me into this professional path without me actively pursuing it. At the time, I was looking for a professional makeup artist specializing in Black skin for my wedding. Through Facebook, someone shared her contact with me, and a few days later, she agreed to do my makeup for the event.

A few months later, after we had stayed in touch, Lourdes Pacton Hofmann, a professional makeup artist and designer, invited me to participate in one of her shoots. Initially planned as a portrait, it ended up turning into an advertising shoot.

It was from this shoot that everything changed: several of my photos appeared in an editorial magazine, and one of the photos, taken by Stefan Obermüller Bilder aus Strom Photo, won the Gold Award at the EPA (European Photography Award).

Subsequently, I participated in a fashion shoot where I had the immense honor of wearing two of her creations and working once again with the excellent photographer Stefan Obermüller.

After all these experiences, I realized how much I enjoyed posing as a photo model. I have always been fascinated by the world of fashion, the elegance, beauty, and creativity of designers, but for me, this world felt out of reach—until I received the opportunity to become a model.

“What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today, when human contacts are so quick. Fashion is instant language.”

My Project

Collaboration with stylist and photographer

Today, I would like to grow as a commercial model, with the ambition to branch out into a completely different field in the coming years. I am aware that my profile is not conventional but rather unique, and indeed, at 1.52m tall, no one expected me to reach where I am now. My goal is to participate in advertising campaigns, represent brands, and bring my own personal touch.

Who I am ?

If I had to describe myself, I would say that I am a very optimistic, patient, and persevering person who loves challenges. When I take part in a project, I fully invest myself to give my best. I work daily with many clients, as well as with a team where harmony and unwavering support prevail, which motivates me every day to improve and be one of the most reliable team members. I am someone who values sincerity, respect, and kindness deeply.

My measurements :

Height : 152cm

Bust : 79cm

Waist : 74cm

Hips : 81cm

Hair : Black

Eyes : Brown

Dress : 32-34

Shoes : 39

My goal

My goals for the future are to live different experiences and explore new horizons in the field of modeling. For now, I am fully embracing the new connections and projects that come my way, and who knows where they will lead me—but one thing is certain: I am a very spiritual person, and I believe things happen for a reason.

Many people seem to think that one must have a perfect body to succeed in this field. Personally, I believe that physical beauty doesn’t necessarily define a person—it’s the inner beauty that truly matters. What do you think?
