The New York Daily News recently speculated that supermodel Iman may be wavering in her support of the new De Beers LV venture.

The nongovernmental organization Survival International has asked Iman to renounce her role as the chain’s “style icon” because of its contention that diamond mining has fueled the government’s relocation of the Botswana Bushmen.

De Beers and the Botswana government both deny that diamonds are involved in the resettlement.
