Chanel Iman

With a name like that, she was destined to become a top model. :-)

Chanel Iman - her full name is Chanel Iman Robinson - has been modeling since she was twelve years old.  Fortunately, at the age of 26 as of this writing, she has made the transition into adulthood with flying colors.

Chanel Iman has appeared on the covers of numerous international editions of magazines such as Vogue, Allure, and Harper's Bazaar, and she has walked the runway for designers such as Burberry, Max Mara, Yves Saint Laurent, Oscar de la Renta, Stella McCartney, Tommy Hilfiger, Jason Wu, Dior, Michael Kors, Hermés, Louis Vuitton, Alexander McQueen, and Marc Jacobs.  This is only a partial list. :-)

She gets her exotic looks from her half-Korean, half-black mother. 

The Los Angeles-raised Ms. Iman has dabbled in acting, appearing in Dope, a coming-of-age movie with a black cast and set in southern California.
