Zitat des Tages von Chanel Iman:
I don't want to be known as the black model. I want to be recognized as Chanel Iman, a personality.
I don't get facials. The last time I got a facial was when I first started modeling when I was 15 or 16. It made my face completely break out.
My taste in music originates from my culture and heritage, and from traveling the world and listening to all kinds of fun sounds and bits.
My goal is to be a household name, and when I do that, I want to help other girls become models, and maybe even launch a fashion line with my mom, like Beyonce did with her mother. My mom has such a good eye, and it's always been a dream of hers.
I have had the privilege of working with the best in the business, from photographers to designers to magazines. There's not much more to ask for but I'm still looking forward to one day working with photographers Mert and Marcus, Tim Walker and Nick Knight.
I drink a lot of protein shakes and do a lot of weight lifting.
I'm really focused when I'm working out, so I don't really listen to music. I like to listen to music after, because it's like, 'Yeah! I finished! Let's party!'
I am comfortable with my body and embrace who I am. I love to work it.
Five years from now I see myself still working hard to get where I want to be, because I think big.
I'm grateful to look the way I do. However, if I could change anything, I would like to be a bit bigger all over. Not much - just a bit.
A good night's sleep is always the best way to wake up and go to work.
Music is everything to me. I wake up and go to bed with it. I listen to all genres, depending on my mood.
The first time my friends saw me in a magazine I was so excited.
At the end of the day, I feel like I have no one to blame but myself if I'm not satisfied with how I look on the runway.
I always take my time when picking out outfits at home, but I will say I can change pretty quick when I'm in a hurry.
Honestly, I try to forget Fashion Week once it's over. I just want to go home and rest and just forget I even did it. It could drive you crazy! It's just show after show after show, and you're missing your family and they feel really far away. You don't go to sleep. You work for a month.
I want to do television, film, music and designing. I want to do it all!
Accept yourself, love yourself.
