Super model, fashionista, philanthropist and one not to bite her tongue, Miss Dunn is a force to be reckoned with. The beautiful mum of Riley has been strutting the catwalk since 2007 and with New York fashion week in full gear, we are sure to see a lot more of her face.
With many notable campaigns underneath her belt, including maybelline, Burberry, Liu.jo, and H&M to name a few, she is the fashion worlds chameleon that transforms herself time and time again. Not to mention the sprinkle of Vogue covers and I-D covers she has racked up, being the first black model to appear solo on a vogue cover, Jourdann is pushing the envelope and trailblazing for diversity in the fashion industry. A noted face of British fashion she was given the honor of also walking amongst Naomi and Kate at the London Olympics opening in 2012.
Having won model of the year award previously in 2008 and just recently in 2015 at the British Fashion Awards, proves that Jourdann is going nowhere for quite a while, and that she is still highly coveted by all the big fashion brands, she has what most models desire, longevity.
The one unknown thing about her, is her philanthropist work, her ambassador work for sickle cell disease association for which she runs an annual event to raise money. Her affiliation with the charity has a personal touch as her son suffers with sickle cell. Talking of this she has mentioned the helplessness she feels when he is in pain during a crisis. It's a testament to her character as she appears bubbly and outgoing, with a cracking sense of humour.
In between her catwalk shows and motherhood she also finds time to run a blog series called "Well Dunn", showcasing her cooking skills with model friends galore. She became my mum crush, when she epically shut down lily Allen for calling her child ugly, and she did unapologetically, and called out VS for not casting her in their catwalk last year, when it was rumored she was dropped by Victoria's Secret to be replaced by Kendall Jenner, which most were sure was due to nothing but nepotism.
Her off duty look is fearless bold and practical, and her latest campaign with marks and spencer lil Lon Dunn clothing line for young children in which it features her son illustrated that she is not slowing down any time soon. A true example of - who said you cannot have it all? Bold, feisty and unapologetic, I don't think we are quite done with Miss Dunn.
