Fragrance Girl

"Britsh, Black and Beautiful... "

... is how Jordan Dunn was described by New York Times online in a rather depressing article about the racism in the fashion industry today. She is the British 18 year old that was discovered while shopping at Primark, and then catapulted onto the Prada Fall 08 runway - which was no small feat. She was the first black model that Miuccia chose to use on the runway since Naomi in 1997. Shame. Since then Steven Meisel took the matter into his own hands shooting the all black issue of Vogue Italia - Joudan Dunn featured on of the 4 covers, on stands now. Let's just hope others take notice. If not - maybe we'll hold out for Dunn's future modeling agency featuring black, Asian and Hispanic girls? Come on now - a little diversity please???
