Chanel Iman Godchaux: Supermodel and Chasa Founder

Chanel Iman Godchaux is a model and founder of the home, baby, and lifestyle brand Chasa. In 2006, at age 15, Chanel won third place in the Ford Models Supermodel of the World contest and signed with Ford shortly after. Over the next few years, she rocketed to stardom, appearing on the covers of almost every major fashion publication, including Vogue, Teen Vogue, and Vogue Korea. In 2010, she became a Victoria’s Secret angel, and Vogue France named her one of the top 30 models of the decade. In the years since, she’s expanded her horizons, pursuing new career avenues. She’s dipped her toe into acting, fashion, and retail, culminating last year in the launch of Chasa. The project is close to her heart; the collection features luxurious blankets, candles, and robes—all inspired by the items that helped her find a sense of home throughout her modeling career. Godchaux just recently released a new collection that includes children’s robes, luxe candles, and spa bundles for the ultimate self-care day.
