I just read an article about ethnic diversity in modelling...there is a little bit about Chanel.

Some of the reasons she [talking about Honorine Uwera] has heard for not being cast is that she is too dark... But most times no reason is given.
Backstage at the Dsquared show, Chanel Iman, who is part African-American and part Korean, says, "I would love to see different girls from all around the world with different looks and different faces in the shows."
On her many Milan go-sees, some designers told the Los Angeles-based model she did not have the look they wanted or she did not fit the clothes.
