Model duJour: Chanel Iman
October 5th, 2008 | Published in Celeb Style, Culture
Chanel Iman: an iconic name, not just for her namesake, but for her own rising as a supermodel known for walking runways from high profile designers to couture couturiers. At only eighteen years old, she’s walked hundreds of catwalks – her debut was in Fall/Winter 2006 season; since then, her career grew rapidly. Perhaps it was the adorable, signature wink that caught the eyes of the public; nonetheless, Chanel has become a celebrity in her own way, a celebrity amongst models.
She attended the release of Italian Vogue’s all black issue, making an appearance with Tyra Banks and other famed African American beauties. Though one of the youngest attendees, she was not short of looking fashionably adorable! With a plain, sating dress in an eye popping blue, Chanel accessorized the rather playful dress to kick it up just a notch to frivolous elegance. A wide belt not only shows off her tiny waist, but also adds some detail and definition to the dress. Keeping the attire simple, Chanel finishes the look with a small pendant and of course, Christina Louboutin Forever Tina Suede boots in black, fringes and all. Achieving this fun yet formal look for a day party is easy. Simply choose a plain dress in bold color – the brighter the better! Look for rich blues, purples, pinks, yellows (jewel tones work best for this look!). Accessorize with a wide, black belt to break up that mass of color, and match a pair of knee high boots with some sort of embellishment. If fringes seem a bit daunting, plain or studded boots work perfectly too!
