but she aint' no designer...
she stands 5 foot 9 & may only weigh
110 pounds, but homegirl sure can rock
a runway like it's her job, cause it is!
chanel iman robinson was born in november of '89 in atlanta georgia.
she is of both african american and korean decent (look out kimora!)
the beauty grew up in culver city, california and entered ford model's supermodel of the
world competition in 2006 and placed third.
nevertheless, the agency knew that she was the real deal and signed
her anyways. it was no time before miss chanel was strutting down the runways
of the biggest designers in the business: dolce & gabana, issey miyake, marc jacobs, valentino, dsquared, hermes, michael kors, oscar de la renta, ralph lauren, anna sui, diane von furstenburg, vera wang, john paul gaultier, and stella mccartney!
even though she's still super-new to the biz' she has appeared in campaign ads for bottega veneta, GAP, victoria's secret pink, and united colors of benetton.
she has also shared her aspirations to design "like pharrell did for louis vuitton".
she may only be 19 years young, but she has certainly accomplished a lot more than the average teen. as well as appeared in both vogue and teen vogue numerous times and has been mentioned as part of the new crew of supermodels.
perhaps her most recent claim to fame?
her love affair with up&coming hip hop tycoon 'tyga'
the two may only have been dating for a short time,
but they decided to make their relationship as public as possible
recently when they posed together for the may '09 issue of vogue.
(perhaps it was just a massive publicity stunt for both of their budding careers, but hey... what ever works?!)
the supermodel used to date music producer ryan leslie, who is 31, before tyga.
he is also a rapper and singer himself and founded the marketing/media company NextSelection Lifestyle Group. He is best known for his work with R&B singer cassie on "me & u". his career may be on the way up.. but his relationship with chanel is certainly DUNZO.
