My Idol

Chanel Iman is my all time idol. She truly embodies the characteristics of a supermodel while also being a role model. 18 year old Atlanta Native Chanel Iman was one of the youngest people to appear on the cover of Vogue. She's also made several appearences in Teen Vogue not to mention the several times she's been seen rocking the runway from Dolce and Gabanna to Vera Wang, Chanel has definitely put her mark in the industry. Chanel says she is also interested in design, "I want to do different things in my life, not just modeling. I would love to design for a big fashion house, like Pharrell did for Louis Vuitton. Stop giving all the opportunities to celebrities! I'm in the fashion industry, I have some great ideas, and I'd like to share them." Chanel has caught the eye of many influentials in the industry one being Tyra Banks who on her show gave Chanel a matching necklace stating that she was a piece to the puzzle opening up the modeling industry for more African-Americans. Chanel is one to know and love, she carries her fashion sense right from the runway into the street. I believe Chanels here to stay!
