Jourdan Dunn was born on August 3 , 1990 in London where she was still living with her mum Dee a receptionist and her younger brothers Antoine 16 and Kain 12 . About relationship with her brother and general family life Jourdan said to Vogue.com : "We tease each other and we're constantly bickering," says Dunn. "They keep me grounded. Jourdan Dunn was an ordinary high school student when she was discovered in the Hammersmith branch of Primark at 16 by the legendary agency Storm Models.

2008's Model of the Year at the British Fashion Awards was Jourdan Dunn, a young beauty who's attracting accolades for her catwalk professionalism and alluring persona. Already a runway regular for designers like Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney and Donna Karan, she's also done advertising for YSL and enjoyed cover shoots for Vogue and i-D, to name a few. At this point, the only thing hampering her future success is finding the right shoes, which often seem to be too tight on the runway. To avoid appearing on any YouTube model bloopers, she practices walking at home, wearing what she affectionately calls her "hooker shoes.

Jourdan became even more famous at London Fashion Week in February, when her comments about race made the news. 'London's not a white city,' she told the press. 'So why should our catwalks be so white?'. Jourdan proved her point when, the week after her comments in London, she became the first black model on Prada's catwalk in Milan since 1997 - when Naomi Campbell walked for the label.
