I'm so excited to see Chanel at NYFW! I wanted to comment on each of the pictures posted but I rather just let her work speak for itself. So far I can't complain about a show she's done, so far.

Still like to see more women of color in each show but thats another story...

Love the Matthew Williamson pics.

... and to add:

* definitely a Naomi Campbell protege. she got that walk and sway down pat

She has a great ed and interview in March's i-D. Shot by Hans Feurer, styled by Erika Kurihara.

She seems very confident. Some points from the article:

*"There aren't many black girls around but I'm hoping to help bring that back. Designers had what they wanted for Spring/Summer but I'm hoping to see a change this time. It is fashion, after all."

*Her mum used to be a designer, apparently.

*She used to play basketball and "was always one of the best".

*"I can call [Tyra] with any questions. She's from Cali too so we know each other, we have each others' back."

*"You don't have to be a model to be my friend - you just have to be cool to hang out with." (Well, that's a relief!)

*"I count down the days to when the magazines come out. I love having my picture taken - I used to have this pose with my head tilted to one side when I was younger."

*Her fave music is pop: Britney, Gwen and Fergalicious

*"[Demarchelier] is so fast and his work is so good. I love seeing the pictures he does. I get into any weird poses he tells me to."

*"I'm into modelling 100%. I want to open all the shows."

*She aspires to be an actor: "I'm a California girl, y'know? That's where the movie stars come from."

Classic.

I love her muted face at Mendel. The lip and the makeup, perfect.

OH? Something new for Chanel. She has such a tone to her legs, I really do not understand how anyone could think she looks "sick."

Damn, she is serving. She looks great. Just went they thought it was safe to play, Chanel knocks them in the head with those professional poses, and that catwalk. I am looking forward to a great FW season for her.

I kind of like the editorial. Not so much the styling, but definetely the posing. She never lets us down when it comes to giving us a great pose.

OMG love her London showcard

 

[Gaultier_Bandit]

Apperantly the camera loves Chanel

"But we definitely weren't bored, not with Carine and Julia in the front row; not with everyone's cameras going crazy each time Chanel Iman took to the runway, and not with the Bottega Veneta inspired collection."

Chanel is clearly carving her niche on the catwalk. Her walk is her most prominent feature, she really gives the people what they want.
