Jordan Clarkson’s girlfriend Chanel Iman has the kind of face that, when you see it, you instantly know she must have done some modeling. It’s one of those pleasant exotic faces where it’s devilishly hard to figure out the girl’s heritage. My initial guess was a 50/50 Filipino and African-American mix, but her actual heritage is a little more subtle. Her mom is half Korean and African-American, while her dad is full African-American. Just throw in a little Korean spice into your African-American stew, and you’ll come out with a model every time. That’s what they always tell me down at Ford Modeling Agency.
Chanel actually took her mom to Korea to shoot a Vogue Korea cover, and she commented “I was able to take my Mom back to her birth place in style.” That is pretty darn cool, if you ask me. Jordan Clarkson’s girlfriend is in that crazy position of traveling to cool places to hang out at beaches and never having to pay a dime since it’s always work-related. She’s also the type of person who gets a tattoo of her own name (on the back of her neck). That always confuses me when people do that– maybe they get bored and just really like their own name. Naturally, Chanel is named after Coco Chanel. In this case, her mother was reading a book about that famous designer when she was pregnant with her.
In case you’re wondering what class of model Chanel is, I’ll clear that up for you: she’s top-shelf. You don’t get to be on the cover of Elle and have an article written explicitly about “How to Look Like a Bombshell” and not be deemed a world-class model. I saw a picture Chanel posted of her body in a swimsuit over the summer, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a woman with skin as radiant and perfect as hers. I’m serious– it’s like a synthetic human it’s so perfect. Here, I’ll prove it to you. She’s got that certain regal quality that some super models have, and if you’re looking for an adjective to describe her, you might try “photogenic.” Chanel is also really good friends with the very famous Hannah Davis, who if you don’t recognize her name you’d surely recognize her image from the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. She also attended the Oscars and hung out with John Legend and his girlfriend after he won an Oscar for a song. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go look at some more pictures of Chanel and her friends…
