That means Iman will co-host the TV show's second season, along with designer Isaac Mizrahi.
"We are happy to welcome Iman to the Bravo family," said Bravo executive Frances Berwick.
"Breaking barriers in the fashion industry, Iman is a true pioneer, and her unparalleled credibility will inspire the contestants and be a perfect match to the always exciting Isaac Mizrahi."
I don't know whether Bravo wanted better ratings, more star power -- or something else altogether -- in replacing Rowland, who is talented in her own right.
But in the world of fashion, Iman is definitely an iconic figure and a force to be reckoned with.
Knowing Iman's business savvy, I'm sure she snagged a lucrative contract in the deal, too.
Iman has also masterfully managed her brand over many years, so it will be interesting to see how her skills and experience help shape and perhaps recast this drama-filled show.
Lynnette Khalfani-Cox, an award-winning financial news journalist and former Wall Street Journal reporter for CNBC, has also been featured in top newspapers, including the Washington Post, USA Today, and the New York Times, as well as magazines ranging from Essence and Redbook to Black Enterprise and Smart Money.

@ Trinia...your comment is funny because even though Iman is in her 50s and not that cute as you say.....Kelly is young and not that cute. So, exactly what was your point. At least Iman has a fashion history. She was a world renow model. What has Kelly done? Huh?

Trina,
Just a suggestion. When you're referring to a female over 16, she is no longer cute. Cute is for little girls. Having said that, I think Iman is stunningly gorgeous, however, what does that have to do with replacing Kelly. Kelly is gorgeous in her on right.

Love it, she knows the business and the beauty.
I love her always. Sorry Kelly, you cannot do all things. The master has other plans for your life.

@ Juanita, 1. Kelly is NOT cute. 2.Learn how to spell. 3.Any day that you wake up is your day and 4.if you're young and can't do the job, step aside and let someone with experience do it. It's that simple

Why is Kelly being replaced with that bit-h, Imam? I wrote her off when she made that haters comment about Michelle Obama. Now I am no Michelle Obama fan, but I don't want no refugee bit-h making negative comments about her.
Imam has that bad attitude like a lot of women from her country who think they are the most beautiful women in the world. Imam's attitude is probably the reason her daughter, from that AA b-ball player, was so fu-ked up in her head, eased her pain with food and became overweight. I think the daughter is okay now but I wonder what kind of relationship she has with Imam. Sorry, but I won't be watching the show.
