Get ready to see a major flood of Chanel Iman.
We hear she’s been shot for The Gap, with ads premiering later this winter.
The California native, born Chanel Iman Robinson, was styled by Marie-Amelie Sauve, the Balenciaga stylist and muse who recently took a creative consulting job with the company.
Meanwhile in the States, we’re all eagerly awaiting the new Gap crop from designer Patrick Robinson, who headed Paco Rabanne and married Vogue’s Virginia Smith before doing a Target collection sweet enough to catch the eye of the San Francisco denim empire.
Of course, the coolest thing would be for Chanel and Patrick to do an ad together, because then it could be called Mr. and Ms. Robinson, and then the soundtrack could be Simon & Garfunkle, and…
Anyway.
Well done, Chanel, for a lucrative ad campaign that’s actually age appropriate. You’ll look amazing.

I love her in the september vogue. It’s one picture on a article about dressing up but she looks amazing.
I think they are waiting and grooming her for a future Vogue explosion Like Natalia V.
CAN’T WAIT!!!!
That ad would be so adorable. It could be shot in the vein of those Orlando Bloom/Kate Beckinsale ones from a couple of years ago. Very cute!
she was not “born” chanl iman robinson…she’s admitted that both of the names are co-opted by her…
chanel is going mainstream! i could see her doing neutrogena or something wholesome like that
I love her. I interviewed her once backstage and unlike all the Eastern European chain-smoking girls, she was all bright and bubbly and rainbows. Maybe it was just her newbie status, but it seemed genuine.
she looks great in that photo – i think she’ll be so fresh for gap
to me, she is as plain as can be, modeling- wise…..
I adore Chanel! She’s just the cutest thing! Her face is very different from the usual sharp-edged Slavic look, which can get tiring. Plus she has the sweetest personality and a really nice accent. (I have a thing about accents.)
I love and hate her equally. It would be an adorable ad though.
Her myspace is ridiculous – all “THIS IS ME IN VOGUE LOL” and “ME N DA FASHION INDUSTRY IS TITE”. It’s just typical teen girl, I know, but I hate finding out that models lack any sophistication.
Girls, namely ‘Lola’ – Stop hating. I’m sure everybody wants to be supermodel but they sure don’t hate on this gorgeous new girl like you. Just because YOU don’t have what it takes, stop playing the pedant and picking on her sloppy syntax. Silly silly girl.
I don’t think commenting on someone’s extremely childish MySpace is “hating.” Silly is as silly does, and the girl is silly! Pretty but silly.
