Chanel Iman shows off her new favorite hobby — pole dancing — in a just-released video created by husband and wife filmmakers Dusan Reljin and Hilde Pettersen Reljin for Nowness. Under an array of vibrantly colored lights, the glitter-covered supermodel dons a large wig and engages in several outfit changes — and is completely mesmerizing all the while.

"We wanted all the colors to be very primary, saturated and strong, so that the whole thing would be very powerful," Dusan said. "Even though she is doing something very exotic and visual, the color schemes that we used make her part of the environment."
