2015 SI Swimsuit: Chanel Iman (2)


I love featuring Chanel Iman on my blogs because not only does she have a look that many women can identify with, but she has that fabulous personality that just pulls you in closer. I have followed the career of Chanel Iman for quite some time now and have seen her blossom into an elegant, well-spoken young lady. There is something so attractive about the way that she speaks. I have mentioned this before but as she has matured and has gained more knowledge and insight, her communication ability has also been elevated.

The beauty of a woman is not just external; it is a combination of feminine grace, vibrant personality, great communication ability, above-average intelligence, creativity, talent and good moral character. Chanel Iman displays all of these charming traits. It is no wonder that she is featured for a second time in the annual Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue for 2015.

Being a former Victoria's Secret Angel, she brings added interest to the sports swimsuit pictorial with her large fan following stemming from her early career Teen Vogue cover and editorial feature alongside British model Jourdan Dunn. I know that I will probably never see her again on the Victoria's Secret runway (neither her nor Jourdan Dunn for that matter!) but I will love to see her again ... and again grace the pages of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Magazine. Perhaps fellow Teen Vogue model mate, Jourdan Dunn, should follow suit ... literally!
