We had the good fortune of connecting with Chantelle Arnett and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Chantelle, we’d love to hear more about your end-goal, professionally.
Wow. I have so many goals to reach! Let’s start with me as a fashion designer. By the end of my career I plan to have a chain of store locations for my brand LEGENDCCXXVII ITALIA, starting in Pittsburgh, PA, Los Angeles, CA, Atlanta, GA and many more, even international. I plan to make my brand a billion dollar company.

I also plan to be a costume designer in the film industry and also a wardrobe stylist for musicians, designing clothing for the biggest celebrities. I would like to be highlighted at the MetGala at some point of my career. I plan to start with Los Angeles Fashion Week in 2024.

As a dancer, I plan to and must get on tour with Chris Brown, The Weeknd, Lil Baby, and many different artist. My biggest dream is and has always been to be one of Chris Brown’s dancers.

Whether I’m performing, choreographing, creative directing, designing, or styling, I will be known for my hardwork and dedication to my craft. By the end of my career, I plan to be well known for my dance work as a performer and a choreographer.

As a creative director, I plan to become an executive producer, writing my own tv series, and movies, maybe being an actress in one or more of my projects. I have BIG GOALS and BIG DREAMS, and alot of work to be done. The world will know my name soon! I come from a small town, and always had Hollywood dreams, and I finally made it to Hollywood. It’s crunch time!

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
What sets me apart from others is that I’m creative in MANY different types of art. I’m a dancer that models, I’m creative director that sews. I also have a very strong and unique vision for art and media. Currently, I’m in graduate school pursuing my masters in writing for TV and Film at AMDA School of Performing Arts in Los Angeles, CA located in Hollywood, I am very excited about being here. I finally made it here. I literally dreamed of being in Hollywood my whole life.

Being motivated and dedicated to my vision is what got me to where I am today. Was it easy, not at all! Definitely a lot of trial and error but I prayed my way to get here and I’m even though I’m not exactly where I want to be just yet, at the rate that I’m going, I will be and that goes for my clothing brand and my dance career.

Along the way I’ve learned to stay focused, NEVER GIVE UP no matter, never let anyone or anything get in the way of your vision, and if they can do it, so can I, nothing is out of reach for me, and anything I want or vision I will receive, and that’s God’s plan!

I want the world to know that Chantelle L. Arnett, also known as Cocohantas (@therealcocohantas) is up next. I will be your next star and I will receive my Hollywood Star & flowers before it’s all said and done, so be on the look out!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I just moved to Los Angeles a few months ago so I’m still figuring out the city myself but I can say I got a thing for “In N Out”. But this city is so big and there are a endless amount of things to do in this city, so we’d have to explore together.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
