SI Swimsuit 2014: VS Model Chanel Iman (1)



Victoria's Secret model Chanel Iman featured in the 2014 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Need I say more?

Fellow Victoria's Secret model Lily Aldridge landed the cover posing in a cute trio with two other SI Swimsuit models while several other Victoria's Secret models were featured inside the magazine: Cris Urena, Bregje Heinen, Ariel Meredith, Sara Sampaio and ... [drum roll please] ... Chanel Iman!

She seems to pose (no pun intended) a bit of a challenge for Victoria's Secret who struggles in my opinion to consistently capture the relaxed yet sexy side of her in an appealing way. However, the photographer Derek Kettela over at Sports Illustrated Swimsuit seemed to not have a problem capturing her as her natural playful, flirty self. It is obviously all about being at ease with the photographer.

She was photographed in Madagascar, an island off of the coast of Southeast Africa surrounded by the Indian Ocean and oh how she shined. Once again, Chanel Iman going out there and just making it happen!
