The thing I love the most about Chanel is her face. She has beautiful eyes, lips and a great smile. She is just so beautiful and she has the ability to be cute, high fashion and edgy, which is something I look for in a model as it means they can work with a wide variety of clients. She look amazing in every picture I see of her, she literally can't take a bad picture. Chanel is one of favourite models at the moment, I love everything about her.

The first time I really took notice of Chanel was when I saw her in the December 2008 edition of Harper's Bazaar. The pictures were just so amazing, she was giving us eyes and hair and the shapes she was creating with her body, it was so high fashion but it was cute at the same time. I loved the make-up in this shoot, which was done by Frank B. This was another one of those times where I wanted all the items.

The thing I love most about Oluchi is her long long legs and her amazing skin. The colour of her skin is so beautiful and makes her stands out on every runway she walks.

The first show I really noticed Oluchi in was the Victoria's Secret Show. Beautiful smile & a great walk, in my opinion she stole the show. I decided to put up the 2007 show as it features Oluchi, but it was also one of my favourite Victoria's Secret Shows.
