MODEL PROFILE: CHANEL IMAN

Chanel Iman hails from Los Angeles who has not one, but two fashion influenced names. The 17 year old first got noticed at the Ford Supermodel Of The Year contest and in six months the newcomer graced fashion runways around the world. There has been a huge buzz about Chanel over the past year. She graced the cover of Vogue Magazine's Models of 2007. Chanel's mother named her after her favorite fashion house Chanel. With the name Chanel Iman she is definitely on the fast track to supermodel stardom. Here is what Chanel has said about her goals in the fashion business:


CHANEL:
"I want to go all the way," she says of her career ambitions. "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 Beyoncé did with her mother. My mom has such a good eye," she says, "and it's always been a dream of hers. I'd love to be able to do that for her."

Here is a cute video of Chanel from Ford Models:

Jessica Biel in ELLE MAG

Jessica Biel is on the May/June issue of Elle Magazine. I have always liked Jessica Biel, and she looks great on the cover. The issue should be out May 6th.

On being famous: “I can’t even go to the dry cleaner by myself anymore. You’re seen in public with anybody that you might not even know and you’re speculated about. It makes everything hard because you can’t even go to pick up a prescription without somebody trying to snap a photo of what you have in your Long Drugs bag. Thank goodness I’m a nice person.”

On still struggling to get parts she wants: “Parts that I want aren’t going to me. Like The Other Boleyn Girl with Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman. I don’t want to say there’s nothing I love that I can’t have. But there’s still the occasional script that the director doesn’t want to see you for. They want that top tier of girls.”

On having “Her Moment’: “The scary thing is that if it’s ‘your moment,’ that eventually disappears. I think about reaching for ‘the moment,’ but never really achieving it. That way I’m always striving.”

On being named ‘Sexiest Woman Alive’ by Esquire magazine: “I thought the Esquire cover was going to be really positive for my career. But it wasn’t, really. [One director told me] ‘I’m not looking for the sexiest woman; I’m looking for the girl next door.’”

On celebrating her twenty-fifth birthday in March 2007: Someone said, ‘You have five years till 30.’ I started to think, Wow over the next five years my life could really change personally.”

On being considered ‘buff’: “This is the thinnest and the least muscular I’ve been in a long time. I’m so lean and feminine.”

On posing topless for Gear Magazine at 17: “I was all over the place. I was being a rebellious teenager.”
