JOURDAN DUNN - my fav exotic black model




Meet Jourdan Dunn, a British model who is quickly climbing her way up to being one of the world’s top models. Jourdan Dunn was born on August 3 , 1990 in London where she was still living with her mum Dee a receptionist and her younger brothers Antoine 16 and Kain 12. Appearing in Vogue’s ground breaking all black issue, and landing a huge advertising campaign for Topshop, this beauty has made a name for herself as a catwalk queen in no time.

Jourdan Dunn is a gorgeous woman, who was discovered while shopping with a friend at Primark at the young age of 16. Now, only two years later she has done 75 catwalk shows, and has appeared on the covers of American and Italian Vogue.
Jourdan Dunn Biography

Jourdan Dunn is a 19-year-old model with exotic looks. She idolizes Naomi Campbell and hopes to follow in her footsteps. She was still in high school and had never left the U.K. when she was discovered while shopping for sunglasses. Now, a little over two years later, Jourdan regularly flies to London, New York, and Milan for photo shoots and fashion shows.

Since the beginning of her fast growing career, Jourdan Dunn has been forthright about matters of ethnic inequality in the fashion world. But this beauty is not all talk. Jourdan was among the many black women to fill the pages of Vogue’s all black issue, which was done in hopes of encouraging others in the fashion industry to follow suit. She also was the first black model in ten years to grace the catwalk for a Prada fashion show.

Jourdan Dunn is no stranger to the runway. She has done couture shows for Carolina Herrera, Christian Dior, and Chanel, and has also been the face of Gap and Benetton. She is now one of the most demanded models in the world and it seems as though nothing will stop her.

DU JUAN rare model from shanghai




Du Juan (born September 15, 1982, in Shanghai, China) is a Chinese fashion model and former ballerina.

A former Ford Supermodel of the World runner-up, Du made her runway debut in Spring 2006, walking for prominent designers such as Valentino (opening and closing his bridal show), Jean-Paul Gaultier, Roberto Cavalli and Chanel.

In 2005 she was placed on the cover of Vogue Paris with Australian model Gemma Ward leading to a flurry of advertising campaigns for Louis Vuitton, Roberto Cavalli, Gap, Swarovski, United Colors of Benetton, and Yves St. Laurent. With multiple bookings being a rare accomplishment, particularly for a new face, Style.com, the online home of Vogueand W magazine, declared her one of the top ten models to watch for the Fall 2006 season. She graced the cover of the premier issue of Vogue China and has since become a fixture in its pages, appearing in at least one editorial since its launch in 2005. She has also appeared on the cover of the 2006 TIME with fellow model Coco Rocha, and is one of the models featured in the 2008 Pirelli Calendar, which was shot in her native Shanghai.

She is currently ranked number 45 on model ranking site MODELS.com, having peaked at number 14. In recent seasons Du has been featured in advertisement campaigns for Giorgio Armani, Anna Sui, GAP, David Yurman, H&M and Yue Sai, a Chinese expansion of L’oreal.

Du has appeared in editorials for Allure, Harper’s Bazar, Elle, V magazine, i-D and the American, Chinese, French, Italian, Korean and British editions of Vogue.

Being largely absent from Europe in recent seasons, Du spends her time between New York and China.
