Jourdan Dunn and Rosie Tapner for Selfridges #DenimLovers

These days, it’s not enough for Jourdan Dunn and Rosie Tapner to look hot in front of a guy with a camera. Nope – in today’s world, models have to pose in front of two hundred people waving iPhones. Or at least, that’s what went down last night during the #denimlovers party at Selfridges. Confused? Don’t be. To celebrate the launch of their huge Denim Studio, Selfridges went for another world first: the first ever co-created fashion campaign.

Why Are All the Big Models Trading the Runway for the Front Row?

It appears that established names have earned the right to enjoy the view from their seats, and lately, they’ve been taking the opportunity to experience fashion from the other side. Suki Waterhouse and sister Immy have made the rounds at shows like Sonia Rykiel and H&M, while Liu Wen showed up at Fendi looking sensational.

One Vogue Cover Doesn’t Solve Fashion’s Big Race Problem

Not for Dunn who was getting the solo cover she so deserved, but for the fashion industry for continuing its decades of tone deafness towards models and...

Jourdan Dunn Discusses The Prejudice She's Faced As A Black Model And Why She's Not Giving Up

  Modeling is one of the most notoriously tough industries to break into, and that's especially true for minority catwalk hopefuls.
