It's peculiar how IMG has effectively ruined her modelling career or, better yet, have failed to maintain the level of success she had before them. It's shame it's gone downhill so fast as she's actually started to look better and better.
I agree and I disagree. I don't think IMG ruined her career at all; in fact I think thats what saved her after she left Ford. Chanel has been around for over 6 years and her hype died down at around FW 2010. She has no real connections to photographers or major brands so its really only US Vogue that could save her HF career at this point.

If I were her and her management team I'd be working overtime to renew her image and plan a runway comeback of some sort. Clients need to see a new side to her, so she needs to break free of the bubbly image and start gunning for "sexy girl" jobs. SI wouldn't be bad now, especially with her current body.

She also still has her name. People know of her and seem to really like her. Thats more than a lot of models in her current situation don't/didn't have. I hope that makes sense.
