Chanel Iman in i-D
 |
When I first saw the May 2009 cover of i-D with Chanel Iman on it, I almost flipped. For some reason, I adore Chanel. She reminds me of my little cousin, and perhaps her relatability is the reason why she has risen to model-fame so quickly. She’s super cute, and you just can’t help feeling proud of her accomplishments, even when you obviously had no part in them.
That being said, I’m slightly disappointed with her pictorial in the issue.
It isn’t the the Kayt Jones shot photos aren’t pretty, but considering it is i-D, I was just hoping for a little more than pretty. I already know Chanel can do pretty. I want to see her in a pictorial that slightly confuses and maybe even offends, but not in a sexual way— offends in a “who’s brain did this come out of because I think I might be in love” kind of way.
The most interesting photo of the lackluster bunch is the one where model, Tallulah Ormsby-Gore is collared and seemingly being dragged being by Chanel with a giant chain, and the only reason that shot catches the eye is because of Tallulah’s intense glare.
Maybe I’m just being overly critical. Take a peek at the photos, and tell me what you think.

p.s. I know I was slightly M.I.A. last week, but it was Spring Break. What can I say?
