Interview:
Supermodel Iman interviewed Chanel for VIBE in the lobby of New York's Mercer Hotel.
(Chanel's Black and Korean.)
Iman: How did you get your name? Those are two major names.
Chanel Iman: My mom's favorite designer was Coco Chanel, and my older cousin is named Iman. He was named after a Somalian woma, so I hope I'm named after you! You're my favorite model.
Iman: Awww. So your life has changed 180 degrees. Isn't it glamorous? I mean, I know what it feels like. But how does it really feel to you?
Chanel Iman: I miss my family, but it's amazing. It's what I've always dreamed about. It feels really good to have girls looking up to me.
Iman: How tall are you?
Chanel Iman: Five-foot-ten.
Iman: What do you consider beautiful?
Chanel Iman: A person who shows a lot of personality. It's how you carry yourself. You don't have to be the most beautiful girl to be the most beautiful girl.
Iman: When I became a model, nobody thought of me as great beauty-ever, ever, ever! My countrywomen are really beautiful. So when I became a top model, everybody was like, 'What?!'
Chanel Iman: Same here! You're so this. You're so that." I was a tomboy.
Iman: So what's your signature move you do on every runway?
Chanel Iman: On the way back, I always wink at one person in the audience-give them a little of my personality.
