British teenage model Jourdan Dunn was crowned Model of Year at the British Fashion awards in London on Tuesday night.
At 18, the black beauty Jourdan Dunn was already a hot name in the fashion industry. She was seen as the new Naomi Campbell, considering her phenomenal rise to the modeling world despite the scarcity of black models in the industry.
Just like Naomi Campbell, the teenage model is also an outspoken critic of racism in the modeling industry:
"London is not a white city. So why should our catwalks be so white? I go to castings and see several black and Asian girls, then I get to the show and there's just me."
Indeed, the 179 cm tall Jourdan Dunn can be considered phenomenal. One year ago, she was just an ordinary teenager wandering around the high street shop Primark. Who would have thought that she would face the crowd whose spectators include the famous Kate Moss, Claudia Schiffer, Jade Jagger, Emilia Fox, and Erin O'Connor to receive the Model of the Year Award?
Now, isn't that amazing?
