Style Crush - Jourdan Dunn

24 June 2014

Eldwick, Bingley, West Yorkshire BD16, UK
She was recently my 'Woman Crush Wednesday' and I still absolutely adore Jourdan Dunn. I first saw her during the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in 2012 when she appeared on the catwalk in a robot-inspired outfit. Since then, I have followed Jourdan and her career as she becomes an amazing supermodel. Not only is she a style crush of mine, but she's also an inspiration achieving so much so young. For example, in 2008, she was the first black model to walk a Prada runway in over a decade. At 16, Jourdan made her runway debut in the New York shows in autumn 2007, walking in shows for Marc Jacobs and Polo Ralph Lauren And, she recently announced she has signed as the new face of Maybelline New York. Jourdan's style is usually very chic, but she also incorporates some of her urban London style into her outfits. My favourite look of Jourdan's is the first picture above, I love the shapes used in both outfit pieces paired with the shoes. She looked amazing when she attended the Burberry Prorsum SS14 Collections: Men runway show last week, wearing only a t-shirt and jeans but still being able to look amazing. In November 2013, she won "Model of the Year" at the Harper's Bazaar Women Of The Year Awards and she was one of the British models wearing bespoke looks created by British designers during the 2012 Olympics closing ceremony, alongside one of my favourite models, Naomi Campbell. Jourdan has modelled for an endless list of companies, including some of my favourites like Topshop, YSL and Burberry. Jourdan Dunn is definitely one of my biggest style crushes.
