Kyanah Chanel: The Emerging Model Taking Her Creative Vision to the Global Runway
For Kyanah Chanel, fashion is more than an opportunity to step onto a runway. It is a platform for creativity, leadership and inspiring the next generation.
Based in Indianapolis, Indiana, Kyanah is already building an impressive résumé while completing her senior year as a student. A model, creative and Youth Creative Director for Red Print Magazine, she has transformed an early fascination with fashion and self-expression into a growing career that spans runway, editorial and creative direction.
Her modeling journey has already taken her to New York Fashion Week and fashion events across Atlanta, Chicago, Tennessee, Texas and Las Vegas. She has appeared in Red Print Magazine and Anastasia Magazine, as well as on billboards in New York City, Nashville, Chicago, Indianapolis and Las Vegas.
Kyanah's achievements extend beyond the runway. She became the first recipient of the Miss Royalty International Lifetime Teen Queen title and has received recognition including Youth Model of the Year 2024–2025. Yet some of the work she considers most important happens away from the camera.
Through her Pretty Hurts Anti-Bullying Initiative, Kyanah works to empower young people and adults while promoting the STAR method... Stop, Think, React. Founded by Sherri Gearheart and Nicole Harrington. She is also involved with Ladies Under Construction, where she trains as a peer mentor, and is passionate about addressing food insecurity and providing meals to people in need.
For Kyanah, these different worlds are connected by a common purpose.
She believes having a platform means having the opportunity to uplift others while remaining authentic to yourself. It's an outlook that has shaped both her approach to fashion and her growing role as a young creative leader.
Now, Kyanah is setting her sights beyond the United States. Her next goal is to expand internationally, with Paris, Milan and London among the fashion capitals she hopes to conquer.
"I'm excited to show my versatility across diverse fashion aesthetics and step into global runway opportunities," she says.
With fashion, advocacy and creative leadership already intersecting in her career, Kyanah Chanel isn't simply working toward her next runway but she's building the foundation for a much larger future in fashion.
