Well she did just do the Resort shows., The Vogue Article, The VI editorials.
The Couture shows start on Monday(hopefully she will be there). The editorial that was reported on COACD where she is jumping on the trampoline. And she has not been on myspace for 4 days....so hopefully this means LOTS of work The Barneys ad and the DKNY one as well are supposed to surface sometime!

Chanel Iman Robinson, a 17-year-old model from Los Angeles, is celebrated enough in the industry to drop her last name, in the style of Naomi, Cindy and Tyra. But she still gets passed over for jobs. "I will fly to London for what is supposed to be 20 casting calls and won't get but 15 because the other five designers don't want black models," she says. "That's not going to happen to white models. It's upsetting and insulting and totally backwards.''

Newsweek

I cannot believe she passed over London because 5 designers did not want her. 15 is more than what your average model does...

she looks wonderful at dior. i think she was the only black model there.

and 15 shows is alot. i would have done them, just to show those 5 designers what they're missing.
