Meet Chanel Iman. She’s the protégée of Tyra Banks and favorite of designers John Galliano and Alexander McQueen and she’s determined to shake things up with her vibrant personality, cheeky tattoos and modern attitude toward race.
Here’s what the 19-year-old fashion model, who was named after legendary designer Coco Chanel and Somali supermodel Iman, had to say in this week’s issue of Page Six Magazine:
On rumors she has been involved with Kanye West, rapper Tyga, and singer-producer Ryan Leslie: “I’m young and I’m dating. But I’m not gonna say any names. There are special people in my life but nothing serious. Just having a man in general is a job! I have one job; I can’t have a second. I’m the type of girl that if I have a man, I want to be a good girl-friend and be there for them and take care of them.”
On her close relationship with Tyra Banks: “She keeps it real. She tells it like it is. She’s really been a great mentor for me.”
