I do think she's a pretty girl, but not her style, I don't agree, her taste is not really good, sometimes even tacky.

well I love her choice of clothes

From MTV.com

19 year-old American model, Chanel Iman, has already achieved the title of fashion's newest "it girl" having graced the covers of Time Magazine Style & Design and Vogue, the youngest of 10 girls the magazine anointed "The World's Next Top Models."

The Culver City California native began her career at the age of 13, first walking the runway in the Fall/Winter 2006 season for high-profile fashion designers Custo Barcelona and DKNY. Since then she has modeled for top fashion houses including Dolce & Gabbana, Issey Miyake, Marc Jacobs, Valentino, Dsquared, Hermès, Michael Kors, Oscar de la Renta, Ralph Lauren, Anna Sui, Diane von Fürstenberg, Vera Wang, Jean Paul Gaultier and Stella McCartney. Fresh-faced Iman has also appeared in advertising campaigns for Bottega Veneta, GAP, Victoria's Secret Pink, and United Colors of Benetton.

In October 2007, Chanel appeared with her mother on an episode of the Tyra Banks Show. Impressed by her poise and ambition, Banks quickly took Iman under her wing becoming a mentor to the young talent. Chanel has since become the muse for Phillip Lim, quickly gaining momentum and notoriety among the fashion elite. The African American Beauty has carved out an impressive career for herself with a bright future in the industry transcending her 5'10" stature.

House of Style May Be the Beginning of a Career Change for Chanel Iman

Thu, 03/19/09 — 06:07:13 PM

>> In anticipation of her television debut on MTV's House of Style this weekend (more details here), we snagged Chanel Iman for a few minutes to chat about how she landed the coveted role of show correspondent (first peek at her in the show, left), her recent coup on the runway at Balenciaga, and about how she might have already landed a date to this year's Costume Institute Gala. It also sounds like she has a career switch in mind — but Chanel will tell you all about it herself.
How did your role on House of Style come about?
Well basically, they called my agency, I went in to meet with them, I did an audition with all the rest of the girls, and they called — I was waiting for the phone call, I was hoping I got it — but I was waiting for about three months. And when I got back from Paris — I was in Paris for ready-to-wear and did the whole fashion tour for Fashion Week — they told me I got it. I was really excited because it's just another way for me to express myself!
Tell me a little bit about your upcoming Gossip Girl appearance.
It's just experience — it was just for me to get an idea of what it would be like to be on set, to really see what happens since I've never been on a set before.
Are you looking for more TV appearances in the future then?
Yeah. I'm kind of slowing down on the modeling right now and I'm branching out to other experiences and interests that I have. [Ed. note: She told Teen Vogue: "House of Style is definitely just the start. I want to do television, film, music and designing. I want to do it all!"]

You just walked Balenciaga for the first time — congratulations!
I actually did a presentation for Balenciaga in New York, it was really private, and so after the presentation, I got the show! It was just something else, just something small — it just goes to show you that something small leads to bigger things. Balenciaga has always been one of my favorite lines and one that I've always dreamed of walking.
You went with Jason Wu to the Valentino: The Last Emperor premiere recently — do you think you'll be accompanying him to the Costume Institute Gala, by any chance?
It's a surprise! Maybe . . . We're really great friends, we had a great time, he was one of the best dates I've had in a while for a fashion event. We hit it off great and we were talking about it, so who knows. I'm very supportive of him, he's very supportive of me, he's young, I'm young, and we're like the new generation.
What did you think about the movie?
I loved it, I shed a tear at the end for how beautiful it was. I don't want to give the movie away, because I know it's coming out, but the ending is amazing, you really see how much time and effort the designers put into their collections, and it really touches you and inspires you to work hard in life so that you can have what they have.
One last question — do you have anything exciting coming up? Any appearances, any projects of note that you want to share?
I'm working on lots of things, so I'm not going to give it away. Just look out!

Wow Now THAT's a career. I hope we get to see her in plenty of high fashion work, though, she would be so good for Valentino or YSL.

 

[simplylovely]

Smart girl! She's at a pretty good start, getting her face more reconized with MTV and Gossip Girls. Modelling is always going to be offered to her, but if I were her I would want to own my own agency or collection of some sorts, instead of just modelling until you drop lol.

 

[iluvjeisa]

^Given the resistance to supermodels that has been the last ten years, her "other" endeavours may exclude her from the modeling circuit. We shall see, I suppose...

 

[J'ador-DioR]

I think it's a good move for her. Her modelling career is sort of not going anywhere new, if anything...she's slowing down and losing momentum. If you don't have the support of an important photographer, stylist, magazine or designer (using you in ad campaigns)...you'll just fade. I don't want to speak too soon, guess we'll have to see how she does this season in terms of print work/campaigns but this MTV gig is going to turn off many potential clients. Either way, it's a very smart move on her part....hope she does well

 

[Fiercification]

Who knows........maybe some clients will be into it . Anyway her time in the spotlight is fading....even big girls fade at some point. I wish her the best
