Hello all at the BZ VS oracle! I was wondering if I could ask a question about Chanel. She seems to have been very short lived as an angel, why was that? I mean, she was used in adverts prior to being named an angel, so I would have thought she sold products well enough? It just seems there was a gap between her and the next black VS angels, and I wondered if VS had longer plans for her and it all went awry. Thank you!

 

Also Lais is fire.

I only know she had a reputation of being a diva and wasn't very well liked in the industry.

Thank you! It makes one wonder how she got the contract in the first place if she was such a PITA!

Ed had told Chanel to grow curves, so that she could come work for VS. It’s possible that Chanel was Ed’s pet so her popularity or the lack of it didn’t really matter at the time.

And here we go again with the innapropiate shit.

VS back then versus now is interesting because VS use to pressure the girls to be thinner....but now it's like they want them bigger. Poor Erin and Vita.

I do not believe the majority of consumers/fans really liked her as an angel as well as her body. I see Lameka getting the same treatment when they make her an angel because there are not really much positive comments about her on YoutTube....mainly about how "bony" she is. 

I wouldn’t worry too much about Chanel, she got married and last I saw was preggers.

Ed told her to gain weight? Yeah right, you must have mistaken the forum you're in

Quote

Ed Razek, president of Victoria’s Secret, is amused that the fashion world is rediscovering boldface models who, naturally, have to have a few years under their belts to become famous.

 

The first time he met Chanel Iman, she was already considered an It Girl in the fashion world, starting on the runways at 15. But she was too scrawny and young, Razek recalls. Now, at age 20, she has a lucrative Victoria’s Secret contract.

 

“She promised in the next year, she’d grow curves — and she did,” Razek says.

TBH, I think that for Chanel (and for Karlie as well), VS tried to go too fast. They should have left them in PINK a while longer before transitioning them into mainline. Their look clearly didn't fit the mainline products and so they flopped.

Ed loves his thin 17 going on 18 gals, eh? (Chanel, Karlie, Barbara, Alannah W)

F*ck, I wasn't expecting that!

Has anyone had any luck getting scans from the angels book

 

 

Old topic but I am now convince it was just bad contouring and not an bad augmentation. 

It's both.
