Must Read: Jourdan Dunn. You owe it to yourself. Set the world on fire.

Jourdan Dunn

 Jourdan Dunn newcomer, stunner and i-D cover girl of the month gives the most in-depth interview to date. Dispelling all the rumors (primark and such!) she endears us even more to her incredibly sweet, and surprisingly still humble personality. The cover and inside photo-spread are innovatively perfect, presenting the power player Jourdan is becoming in the fashion world. Renowned photographer Emma Summerton took the almost dominatrix shots of the first Black model in 10 odd years to walk a Prada show, during the color debate (or lack there of) of the runways. She is officially a pioneer and on her way to the ranks of Iman, Tyra, Naomi and her friend and predecessor; fellow breakthrough star: Chanel Iman . To such a suggested title and responsibility Dunn’s attitude would, with all this deserved praise, be one of a still refreshingly unbelieving teenager; “What-eveeer, I’m just a regular girl.” Buy it before September is out, you’ll love her even more for it. - Francine Uba
