Chanel Iman Opens Up About Motherhood, Legacy and Building Her Dream Brand
Chanel Iman covers the Spring 2026 issue of Ac Magazine, opening up about motherhood, her upbringing and how those experiences inspired her lifestyle brand, Chasa.
The Accessories Council has unveiled the Spring 2026 issue of Ac Magazine, featuring Chanel Iman in a special Mother’s Day edition that highlights her evolution beyond modeling. Conceptualized by Creative Director Andrew Egan and Editor-in-Chief Karen Giberson, the issue explores Iman’s life as a mother of three while showcasing her growing lifestyle brand, Chasa.
In the feature, Iman reflects on how motherhood has profoundly influenced her perspective, both personally and professionally. She shares that becoming a parent shifted her focus toward creating spaces that foster comfort, security and emotional well-being for children. This vision is at the heart of Chasa, her thoughtfully curated home, baby and lifestyle collection designed to reflect warmth and intentional living.
Iman also credits her mother, China Robinson, as a major influence in shaping her values and work ethic. From guiding her early modeling career to instilling strength and independence, those lessons now inform how she raises her own daughters. As she continues building her brand, Iman emphasizes authenticity, inclusivity and representation—hoping Chasa becomes a reflection of both her personal journey and a space where others feel seen and inspired.
