Gossip Teen

Jourdan Dunn has given birth to a healthy baby boy on Tuesday, December 8th. The model and her boyfriend of five years are proud parents and still deciding on a name.

The nineteen year old fashion model announced back in July that she was pregnant and would continue working as long as she could even doing the Jean Paul Gautlier show while 7 months along.

Congratulations to the happy mom and dad!

For the November issue of Teen Vogue, models Chanel Iman and Jourdan Dunn were chosen to be the beautiful faces on the cover. What’s particularly unique about this? The two teens are the most successful black models going right now and in a time when fashion editorials, photo shoots and runways are almost entirely white, it says something that these two young ladies grab a cover. In the accompanying article, the teenagers do admit to struggling to get along with each other.

“It’s competition,” Jourdan told Teen Vogue. “There aren’t a lot of us, but instead of sticking together, we’re pitted against each other. People will say things in Chanel’s ear like, ‘Jourdan is taking your spot’, and then they’ll say to me, ‘Don’t trust Chanel’.”

The problem they face? There’s there’s only room for one black girl – apparently. “You’re being told, ‘So and so is only booking one black girl. It’s either you or Jourdan’,” said Chanel.

For now they have other projects: Chanel is working with Victoria’s Secret and Jourdan is pregnant but still doing the catwalk for designers like Jean Paul Gautlier. Check out more of the interview with the two teen stars here.

Nineteen year old model Jourdan Dunn has confirmed that she is pregnant. The 2008 British Model of The Year is on every designers wish list to walk their runway shows and is a hot face for fashion editorial work but that will slow down until after she give birth this December. Dunn’s modelling agency, Storm, has announced the fashionable teen and her longtime boyfriend are expecting a boy.

A spokesperson for her agency, Storm said: ‘Jourdan is delighted and really excited. She’s had lots of lovely personal messages of support from all her friends in the fashion industry and it’s great news. We wish her all the best.’

Dunn is planning to continue modelling in New York and London after giving birth this winter.

Gorgeous teenagers in Vogue aren’t new, however there are very few women of color used in editorial photo shoots lately. Teen models Chanel Iman and Jourdan Dunn are breaking the barriers and look stunning while doing so.

Dunn (seen above in Rodarte) has been modelling only a few short years. The british teenager was spotted by a fashion editor while shopping at Primarks (a UK department store) and has been jet setting around the world modelling the runway looks for designers such as Chanel and Christian Dior.

Iman (shown in Marc Jacobs) was born in Atlanta, Georgia and her family moved to Los Angeles where she took third place in the Ford Model’s Supermodel of the Year 2006. She has been on the catwalk for designers Anna Sui and Proenza Schouler.

Both models are highly sought after and watch for them in the upcoming Fall Fashion shows and lots more fashion mag photo shoots.
