Chanel Iman, “it” fashion model of the moment, graces the cover of the Page Six Magazine, available inside the Sunday edition of the New York Post and Monday online.

A lot of designers think that if every girl on the runway looks exactly alike, then people will come to the shows and buy the clothes because they won’t be focusing on the models….It’s not even just runway either… us ethnic girls should be getting a lot of the covers too! I would love to be on half of the campaigns these [white] girls are booking, all looking exactly alike. It’s not right. It’s not fair.”
