'Pretty, young things' is the perfect title for the latest copy of i-D magazine.
Chanel Iman, Sessilee Lopez, Jourdan Dunn and Arlenis Sosa shot by Emma Summerton. It is an ensemble of the newest, hottest young models around at the moment with the longest on going legs. This edgy shoot shows beautiful dresses and great styling.
And quite frankly its about time these gorgeous girls graced our covers; if they can do runway, why not covers?
but of course, that old stereotype, that gorgeous 20 something black models can't sell magazines.. i-D just proved them wrong, i think that era is OVER.
Arlenis Sosa. aged 20. has walked for Doir, Oscar De La Renta, Micheal Kors, Alexander Wang, Bottega Venta, Anna Sui, Donna Karren, Jason Wu, Derek Lam, Matthew Williamson and John Galliano.
Jourdan Dunn. aged 19. has walked for: Prada (first black model to walk for Prada in a decade), Marc Jacobs, Ralph Lauren, Alexander McQueen, Hermes, Ossie Clarke, Rodarte, Givenchy, Chanel, Doir and Matthew Williamson.
Chanel Iman. aged 19. has walked for: Dolce & Gabanna, Marc Jacobs, Valentino, Hermes, Oscar De La Renta, DVF and Jean Paul Gaultier.
“There are loads of black models working and the idea that there's only a few of us, or four of us, to let in as top models at any one time is just bullshit.”
Jourdan Dunn.
See Jourdan Dunn at Topshop on Thursday 10th September giving style advice! I shall be certainly there! Dunn will not be walking in any of Fashion Week, as she is pregnant and is due in December, yummy mummy!
