Two of our favorite black models on the scene, Chanel Iman and Sessilee Lopez are featured in Allure magazine’s October 2009’s “Bombshell” editorial spread. They are showcasing one of this season’s biggest trends “The Big Coat” and a lot of new Louis Vuitton accessories, always timeless classics. These girls are here to stay and we are happy to be able to watch their career’s thrive and take off!
What do you think of the big coat trend this season? Big coats and and big shoulders will be everywhere so make sure you are keeping up with the Jones’.
More pics below.
Hot!
Really pretty girls! Different style I like it.
I don’t know about big coats… I mean you really have to be skinny for it to look like you’re not wearing a potato bag on you.
I love that red look!!!
STYLE TIP: for an oversized jacket or coat, you can always wrap a skinny belt around to cinch your waist and give you some curves. LOL noooo potato sacks over heree !!
I agree. You have to also be TALL and skinny. At 5′2”, I would look a hot mess
LOL you can pull it off too Aura ! Just try not to go for a big coat that’s past mid-thigh length. You can do a big coat that’s waist length and it will elongate you’re figure and make you look about 5′5″ =)
Beauty at its best. Love! Love! Love!
Its refreshing to see TRUE top models, and not video HOES, reality stars, etc, that consider themselves modeling. True class act. Kudos Ladies!!
Unfortunately, BIG coats only work on LITTLE people lol. But the spread is definitely hot, props to those ladies.
omg, i am loving this spread..its good to see REAL models doing thier thing not fakes who are praised beyond disbelief coz they are on blogs everyday wearing something diff…smh..
i have always liked iman but sesslie is winning me over with her darkness..i love that they picked both models though..love the red ones, as well as the ones below the red and last pic where iman has the yellow glove..i think big coats are for everyone, you just gotta find the one that looks right on you..
ha, just came from one of my favourite fashion blogs and chanel and sesslie are beefing..sisters, you are in this together in a very tough market for black models.stop it trying to tear each other down and make us proud..smh
