Chanel Iman

[supermodel]

can't really say i agree with you guys.. i don't see any emotion from her eyes in the ad, it's almost as if she found an apple and turned to the photographer wondering where the eff it came from
very blah

 

[simplylovely]

Love that ad!

 

[nrllaless]

I actually think this is one of my favorite shots of Chanel. Love her face here.

SUPERMODEL CHANEL IMAN: 'INNER BEAUTY LIES WITHIN US'
Posted by MTV Act in Celebs, Interview


Chanel Iman is smart, successful and gorgeous. She's an international supermodel, most well known for winning third place in Ford's "Supermodel of the World" contest at age 15, and for her work with Victoria's Secret. But Chanel insists it wasn't a stamp of approval from the fashion world that finally pushed her to ignore bullies. Read her thoughts...


"Embrace in life those things that offer us the freedom to be ourselves and not be led by the judgment of others. Our inner beauty is often missed or put to the side because of what we see as superficial beauty. Appreciate the depth of others. Appreciate life! Be free! Be confident!

Judging by physical appearance is a sign of weakness, self-doubt and an inability to show love. Learn to control that. We should love one another with the same passion in which we love ourselves. This is how we grow. Be grateful and appreciate what’s yours! It can be gone in a second.

Surround yourself with positive, encouraging influences that create a healthy environment. Dig deep inside and find that passion that has no fear in expressing love for yourself and others. That is what’s going to make you win and make people love you back.

I’ve always been judged and bullied for being tall and skinny my whole life. Early on I listened to others and failed to appreciate what God gave me until I at last excepted what an amazing blessing it was to love me for me.

Beauty really is deep, so go deep and recognize what’s real! Now, I’m not saying stop doing what makes you feel fly, confident or good about yourself. I’m saying don’t over focus on just looks. Try capturing the essence of the inner beauty that makes us who we are.

In this un-perfect world don’t allow anyone to disrupt your way because of their small opinions. Don’t be a victim of what others negatively say about you. They have no bearing factor in your future. Let your best shine through, your inner beauty, and lead you to success!"

Girl BYE!...Chanel did not say that.....we all know Chanel aint the brightest apple in the bunch I REALLY doubt those phrases/sentences came from her mouth!

 

[LabelWhore4]

I thought that to but some of it had me convinced

 

[nightclubbing]

Y'all are so wrong. I think she has it in her. Half of these sound like things she tried to send on twitter that didn't go through so she saved them in an e-mail.

 

[Fey Sommers]

You guys are too funny although it does sound suspiciously eloquent and the message is beautiful. Maybe someone polished it for her (which isn't a bad thing AT ALL). It's all love tho...

Sorry too lazy to post, but there are some solo pics of her from the Miami thing that I didnt see posted

She did a brief interview on Global Grind.... They are quite obviously readers of TFS as my almost exact phrasing from the thread for the ad is used in the opening of the article. You can read it here.

If they need some writers to write about Miss Thang they can just holla at me instead of jackin' me. Lord knows I could go on for PAGES.

 

[LabelWhore4]

Omg they really did jack you word for word. Smdh but WERQ at more mainstream exposure for Chanel tbh!
And I'm at their colorful description of the ad.

Iman's new campaign is ridiculously hot. She's photographed as a sultry and woodsy biblical Eve who looks as if she was caught sneaking a bite from a sweet and juicy apple.

Really, with the back story?!

 

[nightclubbing]

They feature her a lot on that site, little things but always there.

 

[LabelWhore4]

^I've noticed that too... Odd but oh well. She used to be on Mediatakeout all the time but they haven't featured her in awhile. I might have to breakdown and "leak" a story to them

 

[nightclubbing]

Well if I'm not mistaken that's Russell Simmons' blog site so I'm not surprised. Also, she was featured on mto recently I think for the Miami event! I know I saw something. I try not to go there, they're just awful.

 

[LabelWhore4]

It's my morning time guilty pleasure... don't judge me.

 

[Fey Sommers]

^Haha, judging you so hard rn ...but I have mine too anyways, I hate the blogger but I read Laineygossip like it was my bible.

 

[LabelWhore4]

GURLLL, that just might be worse.
