Chanel Iman

She seems like she's been dying to be the conventional "supermodel" and with VS I think it's going to happen

I just hope she stays in fashion! I can def see her as a force to be reckoned with in the near future. Hopefully she gets some good CAMPAIGNS this season to keep her on HFs radar! I think no matter what we will still see her in US Vogue. She seems to be a favorite.

Is she? I recall Anna chopping her directly by name from a spread in the September Issue movie LOL. I gagged

That was in September of 2007 before she became a regular Vogue US girl. Since then, she's in Vogue almost every month.

FYI that spread that Anna "killed" did not end up being canceled after all. It was the Steven Klein shoot she did back in her early days. Hilary Rhoda got cut but Chanel appeared in it.

They just need to let it go....she obv not going any where, if you don't like her just let her be and keep it moving, because she honestly not paying attention to any of her haters! I cannot wait for Chanel to STRUT down that runway!!!

I have seen more than this FTV clip before and I haven't seen anyone so unabashedly self centered. As I said, that's fine, it works in her favour, makes her stand out. But I think it's a pointer to what people get bothered by. They're used to this aloof, cool, well almost sedate, European attitude and here's a girl who acts like she is just what she is, a California girl.

Really, I think it's pretty clear if you go through this thread that I really like her work and have from the start....but recently I was wondering how people could complain about the lack of black models or Asian models and here's a girl who is both, a beautiful combination, and about half of model fans seem to dislike her. Yet, she is perfect, and American Vogue instantly recognized that. Frankly, I find the extreme criticism of her disturbing, and I've been trying to find an innocuous explanation....this was my best attempt

At the end of the day, though, what does it matter as long as she's as great as she is. Hoping she'll get a campaign that lives up to her potential this season.

Just because you're hungry doesn't mean you should eat bad food (Chanel), when good food (beautiful black or asian models- i.e. Jourdan Dunn, Du Juan, etc.) is within sight. What's there not to understand?

Not everyone finds Chanel as "bad food" though. It's all opinion.
I, personally, like her alongside the other ethnic models, and she is good at what she does. She wouldn't be booking coveted work such as a runway spots at Balenciaga or the VS angel contract if she wasn't so deserving to be a model at her status. So I agree that all the criticism is getting so so old. We get it, some people don't like her. We don't need to hear it every other post, no matter if it's opinion or not, which most of the time isn't even constructive criticism in the first place.

Hey I have a question.
I very often read disrespectful comments about Chanel, where people say she's stupid, bitchy arrogant etc.
But why do so many people don't like her???
