| Mr. Will-W. & Chanel Iman |
In 2007, Vogue's Anna Wintour called her "one of the world's next top Supermodels" and she actually now has fulfilled that prediction less than three years later. 20 year-old Chanel Iman after having been in the business for seven years, has seen a meteoric rise to the top of the Fashion world in less than seven years.
Alexander McQueen, Marc Jacobs, Versace, Dolce & Gabanna, Valentino, John Galliano, Vera Wang, Stella McCartney. These are just a few of the Fashion Houses which have handpicked Iman to don their pieces on the Runway. And just last year, she had received her much-heralded Angel Wings, making her officially a Victoria's Secret Angel.
Now residing in New York City, Iman is known as the most prolific African-American Models of her generation. In fact, she is only the third Black Model ever to have graced the cover of Vogue and at the same time, she holds the distinction of being the youngest Model ever to have appeared on its cover.
Did I mention she's also an avid Philanthropist too? Iman is known too for her support of the HerShe Foundation for Teen Girls who come from Foster Homes, helping them transition into Society.
The Angel herself has descended upon Toronto officially and she's in-town to do some Press tomorrow including appearances on CTV's The Marilyn Denis Show and a more publicized Meet & Greet at newly-launched Victoria's Secret - Eaton Centre between 4 to 6 PM. The visit is Iman's second in recent months.
