I just knew it was a matter of time before Teen Vogue featured her! Thank you so much!

 

[simplylovely]

in the article it say she would have booked vuitton and lanvin too, but couldn't because under french laws, 15 yo can't work on sundays...

i really hope it's not just hype, and that she gets real big

 

[John Black]

^^ that sounds pretty stupid (or at least strange) 15 year olds cant work on sundays??? If they really wanted to book her they could do it another day. And if i remember right in France you are not allowed to work till you are 16 y.o. But models offten get some exceptions.

 

[J'ador-DioR]

Oh darn, too bad she couldn' t do vuitton and lanvin. I found it odd that she wasn' t part of the casting

 

[MicheleIman]

I love Chanel!!!! I love her smirk- IT'S HERS! Not all models should walk down the runway with a pissed off ace looking all the same. She's fresh, new and has staying power. More power to her!

 

[LucyInTheSky]

Now if she could just get a good campaign!!

 

[kava16]

i think she would be really cute in a marc by marc jacobs ad shot by juergen teller. or maybe she will get some more work with proenza schouler those designers seem to really like her

 

[breathe.couture]

Darn! It would've been great if she had walked for LV or Lanvin!

i was looking through the thread and i notice she tries to wear chanel
alot... it seems kind of stupid that she would want to wear something
with her "name" on it. To me she tries to hard and seeing her in some
posts makes me think she wont go to far. I mean any way there are
always new faces coming it doesnt seem many models have much
staying power now a days you see them on evry runway 1,2, or 3 seasons
and then its like they never existed. also is she really 5'9 because she
looks so much taller

 

[leggy_e11e]

also is she really 5'9 because she
looks so much taller

She's at least 5'10"

tomfordfan don't give up on the girl so quickly, she just started! I don't really think she's stupid for wearing chanel, I like to wear it so why can't she? Thats a very strange thing to point out. I haven't met too many models that are book smart , but their models; They're kind of like little puppets when I think about it now. Chanel will do just fine as a model. Give the girl a chance while the spotlight still shines on her! And if she fades into Oblivion like beverly peele or Gail O' Neil .... oh well it was good while it lasted right?

I like her look, she's not the best model out there but she has a unique way about her. I'll keep my eye on her to see how far she gets as a model in say the next 2-3 yrs.

The Ford Europe site has her as "Chanel Robinson"

Not feelin' the 15 year old in lingerie thing. Oh well it's fashion...

^ I could have sworn somebody stated she is really 17 not 15

 

[LucyInTheSky]

^ The Teen Vogue Article stated she was 16. So who knows?!

 

[gia0202]

on her myspace it sats 17--i have spoken to her--pretty sure she isn't 15. i think they lie to add hype around the model.

 

[emiika]

She is 16
