Why do people hate Chanel Iman so much? She's tall, thin, she has a full photogenic face, everything girls like Magdalena and Vlada have, why do people love them and not her. I think Chanel's rise to the top is very commendable, if I was a young afro-carribean girl I'd love to see a recognizeable face, a gorgeous one at that, to get US Vogue and Teen Vogue, affirmative action aside, she must be doing something right. I mean if she went away there'd be no black faces on the runway, which would be a travesty, and I'm glad a lot of designers, even Prada are requesting more ethic diversity fo their shows.
edit: again I stress she must be talented because she's obviously doing something Kinee diuf (sp?) and Sonja aren't. I welcome her as the next Liya and Laxmi Menon as the next Ujjwala.
