Chanel Iman

At the request of my dear anonymous reader and Project INVOGUE, Chanel Iman is up next on this blog's model feature!  I wasn't surprised at all to see her recommended; I knew someone would suggest her.
She's quickly become one of our latest batch of supermodels, and she is well loved by many.  I remember that the first time I heard about her, I thought that her name was incredibly unique.  "Chanel" for Coco Chanel, and "Iman" for the legendary Iman.  And in fact, "Chanel" does come from Coco Chanel, but "Iman" doesn't come from the supermodel; it came from her cousin.
She is probably most well-known for her undeniably cute-as-a-button features, and her young, down to earth personality.  As well, many people know her for her work as a Victoria's Secret model, and this year, she obtained the coveted position of a Victoria's Secret Angel!
As expected, she walked for numerous Spring/Summer 2011 shows:
Carolina Herrera
Michael Kors
Ralph Lauren
Oscar de la Renta
Giles
Gucci
Blumarine
Dolce & Gabbana
DSquared
Balenciaga
Christian Dior
Loewe
If there are any models you want to see featured, just give me a shout if you haven't done so already!

  3. her name is from (Coco) Chanel and Iman (model), at least that's what she's said isn't it? I've always thought that was cute her mom named her after those fashion icons and she's becoming a supermodel herself :) SOOO gorgeous

  4. Oh, my apologies! Thank you socialitedreams for pointing that out! I have edited that. "Iman", however, does not come from the model.

  7. I'm fascinated by your posts about the models...Because you are able to choose the most beautiful and interesting pics that represent them in the best way.

    CHanel is an amazing model her outfit at Gucci and Victoria's Secret are gorgeus. When I saw the s/S 2011 of Gucci with her I was completely amazed by her appearance...she had the right aestethic for the style of that collection (one of my favourite realized by Frida Giannini for Gucci).

  15. I love her on the runway but not so much in editorials, she seems a little boring and always the same in editorials.
