Style: Live it, Love it, Own it: Chanel Iman: This Season's 'Must Have' Model

So honestly, I have seen Chanel on EVERY runway. This girl is getting more than her fair share of work and it all seemed to happen so fast.

Born Chanel Iman Robinson in Atlanta on November 30, 1989 she grew up in LA. She was signed on the spot to Ford Modeling Agency at the age of 12 after her and her mother just walked in one day.

The half African American, quarter Korean beauty walked her first runway in the fall/winter season after placing third in Ford Model's Supermodel of the World competition in 2006. According to her, things "just exploded from there." She was walking in shows for Anna Sui, Derek Lam and Marc Jacobs in no time.

She has been living the dream every aspiring model wants. She quickly was booked to walk for major, major designers like Jean Paul Gaultier, DVF, Oscar de la Renta, Dior and many others. She has done ad campaigns for Victoria's Secret Pink, GAP, United Colors of Benetton, and more. I wont even mention the amount of magazine cover she has graced, but Harper's Bazaar and the i-D are some high lights.

But her dreams don't stop ad modeling, she hopes to design, act, produce music, direct and all kinds of other things.

She is really a normal girl who like cheeseburgers and high calorie foods, gets tattoos without her agencies permission and she dates; I mean, just like you and I right ??!?! She even fears of becoming an old face in the industry so that's why she changes up her look from time to time. To keep it fresh. and that is understandable.

I know your thinking, well her name is so perfect. Well her mother had read a book about coco Chanel and was impressed by how she built her empire and decided it was a good name to give her. What a good decision that was.

I know I never write about models. But I just had to write about Chanel because I think she is really doing her thing with the undying support of her single mother.
