Style Crush's One to Watch…Jourdan Dunn

London born Jourdan Dunn has, since her debut in 2007, become one of the most sought after models in recent years.

Aside from her many accolades, Dunn made history having been the first black model to walk a Prada runway in over a decade.

While it is obvious she is well on her way to becoming a fashion icon, it is her ability to beat the odds against her that keeps her winning.


Jourdan was featured as the face of H&M's Spring 2013 collection


She was also selected to walk in last year's Olympic Closing Ceremony, paying homage to British designers, in this Jonathan Sanders gown.

Dunn admitted that she had faced racial discrimination in her career in Net-A-Porter's The Edit but has nonetheless forged on.

Jourdan was also hand picked to feature in Vogue Italia by Anna Wintour's protégé Steven Meisel solely dedicated to black fashion models.
