DEL.ICIO.USIman, the Global Chic Model Citizen
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The gorgeous Iman is in Atlanta today to accept the first Model Citizen award at the Annual Fine Arts and Fashion luncheon of the National Black Arts Festival.
I had a chance to chat with the her yesterday at the Four Seasons.
The multitalented mogul recently launched a new line of accessories for HSN called “Global Chic” with the idea of bringing to women the things she can’t live without.
“It’s about accessories,” she said. “I have the same suit, it fits me perfectly, but accessories can change it from year to year. I thought that’s what I would like to do. But to talk about accessories, nowadays you have $1000 bags that have waiting lists for them, then you have Nine West and everything in between. So what would make a bag that I would bring any different?”
Iman opted to create a $124 chic city tote (below), a $70 vintage inspired handbag and several styles of bangles and jewels including $60 replica of her own vintage engagement ring.
She is currently working on a line of skin-care, clothing and more accessories which will all debut under the “Global Chic” brand starting in spring. She said it was time to extend her product line from the makeup and skin-care brand she launched years ago for women of color.
Iman hasn’t modeled in more than a decade, but she is still such an amazingly beautiful and stylish woman, so I asked her for 3 secrets of great style:
- Be Comfortable
- Be Classic. Don’t follow the trends.
- Update your look without breaking the bank.
Iman has spoken.
