Rebellious model Alice Dellal, notorious for her half-shaved head, once said: “If people don’t like my hair, then they don’t have to book me” – a diverse look and inspirational attitude that seems to have worked so far.

Her impressive modelling credentials include being the face of Mango, the body of the Agent Provocateur and Mario Testino’s muse. And now rumours that Dellal will model for Chanel’s spring 2012 campaign are beginning to circle the net.

However, we’ve also heard gossip that Joan Smalls and Saskia de Brauw, who opened the designer’s collection this past fashion week, may be fronting the fashion house too. So, we’ll just have to wait and see. But here’s us at Models Direct hoping the iconic French fashion house known for classic sophistication chooses an unexpected model like Dellal.

We love to see a diverse and individual look doing well on the modelling scene and think Dellal’s edgy punk look will make a refreshing change, whether she becomes the face of Chanel beauty, accessories or clothes.
