Chanel Iman up close.

February 4th, 2010 by Ruth

Exciting news today! We here at Chic Thrills had the chance to sit down and chat with ultimate chicskate and L.E.I. Jeans Model Citizen judge, Chanel Iman. Now at a mere 16 years old, Iman hasn’t missed a Fashion Week since she was 12! Completely in the know, this season’s fashion style is leather pants, Chanel bags, ponytails and of course, L.E.I. Jeans.

She stashes all her cash for her favorite high-fashion discount store, D Magazine, which is located in Milan, Italy. “They have the best designers at half the price. I scoop up vintage Versace and other designers there,” chirped Iman.

The secret behind being the ultimate chicskate, she says, is confidence and attitude. Iman said it perfectly: “Confidence gets me down the runway. Sometimes I don’t like the outfit that I have on but it’s my job to sell it.” Take a cue from her approach: all you need is a little confidence and the right attitude to make the steals look like a splurge.

Naturally thin, Iman has been blessed with the genes that allow her to eat whatever she wants and says that her best beauty secret is her full eyebrow. As a money saver, “I use Anastasia’s Eyebrow Kit and do them myself.”

She also credits music as an instant mood-booster. “I listen to a variety of music prior to a show. Right now on my iPod I have: Madonna, Kanye, Beyonce and I can dance anywhere in the world if listening to Michael Jackson.”

And there you have it – life according to a supermodel!
