Head of the Class: Jordan Dunn

Author: MARLEAUX | Files under FASHION

Jordan Dunn strutted her way to the top of Style.com editor’s freshman models from the class of Fall ’08. Check out what the editors had to say about Dunn: “This London native with the endless legs has been walking the runways for the better part of a year, but with appearances at Louis Vuitton, Prada, and Zac Posen, among others, Fall was her breakthrough season.” And Check out Dunn on the runway. Do you agree?

Earlier this year Dunn received a lot of press for being the latest sister to walk the Prada runway since Naomi Campbell 15 years ago.

Is Prada disregarding their Black customers by not supporting Blacks in fashion, or was Nana backstage hitting folks over the head with banana cell phones causing Prada to turn away from any dark skinned beauties. Or was it Naomi’s criticism of the lack of diversity on the runway that made Prada decide to just throw 1 in? What do you think?

Here are more of Style.com’s freshman picks from previous years.
Chanel Iman for Spring 07.

    all i can see is a calm arrogance in her eyes, may be wrong but some type of arrogance

    I honestly doubt Prada cares two cents about integrating their models but they might have thought they’d throw their more progressive customers a bone. She’s a lovely girl. I’d approve if my sons brought her home!

    Eh, I dunno about Jordan. She’s a great, great model, but every time I look at her the first thing that comes to mind is ‘you can take a girl out of the ghetto but…’

    Im a huge Chanel Iman fan….she’s ubber sexy! The girl can work both the ramp and editorial like crazzy. She’s been dupped to be the next Tyra Banks and Jordan Dunn is said to be the next Naomi Campell…..I can sense some claws sticking out!
