in the last video maybe she was cold? but I agree the body language makes it seem like she was uncomfortable.

A day in the life of a top model

Source: USAtoday.com

Ford Model Chanel Iman, 18, a rising star in the fashion industry, gave USA TODAY a look into what it's like to model in Fashion Week. Here's an excerpt:

6:45 a.m. Rise and shine. It's a show day, and while I am still sleepy, I can't help but be excited already.

7:05 a.m. Take a quick shower. Have some fruit.

7:30 a.m. Check in with my agents to make sure there are no last-minute changes. Things change all the time during the shows, so it's just become a habit to double-check.

7:45 a.m. In the car, looking at my schedule for the day, getting more excited as we get closer. I have the Isaac Mizrahi show right after the Peter Som show, one at 11 and one at 12.

8 a.m. I am inside. There's a lot of prep time until the actual show, but sometimes that's my favorite part. Working with the stylists, talking to everyone. That's when it's both hectic and fun. Everyone is so nice, even at 8 a.m.! All the other girls are slowly making their way here, and I am just relaxing on a couch backstage reading a magazine.

10:30 a.m. I have been in hair and makeup. They are starting to pump music throughout the tent.

10:45 a.m. Getting into my first outfit, and I can feel the energy mounting. It's almost go time!

11 a.m. Peter Som show — I love the clothes; they are so feminine but still have an edge.

11:45 a.m. People swarm to change my hair, makeup and styling with minutes to spare!

11:58 a.m. Running to get in place for the Mizrahi show.

1 p.m. Finished with the show. It was my first time doing the Isaac Mizrahi show. A live orchestra played while we walked.

1:20 p.m. Arrive at Oscar de la Renta fitting, which is actually close to my last show, so I have a second to catch my breath and return a few personal calls. My mom and I speak often, and so I needed to check in with her.

1:50 p.m. OK, I need some food. I am grabbing a wrap at the deli around the corner.

2:10 p.m. I arrive at the Vera Wang casting. There is a group of girls always running into one another wherever we go.

4:10 p.m. At the Armory to start getting ready for the Marc Jacobs show. I am there very early to get ready. This is great, as there is little pressure to get things right before showtime.

6:45 p.m. I started to get tired, but now I have my second wind.

8:30 p.m. Thirty minutes until showtime! I am so excited to be doing the Marc Jacobs show again.

8:45 p.m. Lining up.

10:30 p.m. What a day! Three shows, two fittings, a casting and I am ready for bed. I have to be somewhere.

How strange is it that she had a fitting at ODL (which probably means she has already been cast to appear) and yet she didn't actually walk for them.

 

[fer19dog]

yeah thats very strange

 

[_incognito]

Weird. I wonder what happened!

 

[simplylovely]

Damn she's look fierce @ Michael Kors!

 

[oxymoron]

Maybe he ended up not using the garment she was suppose to wear, or the fittings didn't go well or some last minute change.

7:30 a.m. Check in with my agents to make sure there are no last-minute changes. Things change all the time during the shows, so it's just become a habit to double-check.

[happycanadian]

she looks awesome in all the shows! i love Chanel's face! so unique and pretty!

and it was cool to read about "a day in the life of..." from her as well -- though it appears all she ate the entire day was some fruit and a wrap.

 

[Juliet.J]

Shes a doll.

She looks beautiful on Tyra and that was nice of her to give them all "Key" necklaces.

 

[Gaultier_Bandit]

Has she done any shows today

 

[J'ador-DioR]

No shows at all for Chanel today!.
Definitely a cause for concern.

 

[á la Balenciaga]

Weird. I wonder what happened!

some designers have the reputation of dropping models right on the spot(Gianni Versace, Miuccia Prada..)

 

[Gaultier_Bandit]

Did she piss off a casting director, and maybe she was replaced last minute?
