Vogue Korea September 2008 : Chanel Iman

[sedirea]

I dont like Chanel but this cover isnt that bad. I like the pose but the hair (or hat?) ruins it..

[chanels]

Way to hop on the VI bandwagon with 'Black Beauties,' VK!

I'm not digging the pose and make-up, makes her look like the Ego aka Food critic from Ratatouille.

I like the cover,she looks older in it(in a good way).

[sethii]

I'm not sure what to make of it

It's her first ever VOGUE cover right?

[kuli_trendy]

i guess it's her first cover. except the teen Vogue. rite???

[Mchunu]

good for chanel

hmm..i know chanel iman has many, many detractors so i perused this thread only to see such negative comments it's such a downer that even though the last two months fashion has finally started to offer just a little more range and diversity on the models and cover subjects (Julia (a model) on W mag, Jourdan (black model) on i-D & Chanel (black/biracial model), of course, here on a Vogue Korea) people still have only negative things to say. sucks

this would be her first solo cover. She also was on the US May 2007 (world's next crop of top models) cover.

I know Chanel's mother is half-Asian but is that heritage Korean? I saw her on The Tyra Show with her mom but I can't remember.

WOW! GREAT FOR CHANEL!! I like the cover, I think it will look better bigger. I just wish they hadnt been soo obvious and bandwagon jumping by calling it 'BLACK BEAUTIES', it annoys me alot.

But hey, YAY FOR CHANEL!!!
