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.
