Two-time SI Swimsuit model Chanel Iman "may look like she fell from heaven. But she raised a little hell on the way," or so Malibu Magazine leads us to believe. 

In an interview with the regional glossy, Chanel opens up about everything from being raised by her strict, half Korean and half African American mother, to her love of fashion and working in the industry.

Modeling a variety of chic dresses, stunning designer booties and plunging jumpsuits, Chanel looks both beautiful and carefree throughout the feature.

So be sure to get your own copy of Malibu Magazine to see more gorgeous photos of Chanel and learn more about the forces that shaped her into the amazing model she is today!
