Position 28: Jourdan
by Lexposure Rankings posted on May 11, 2009When we first saw these emotive polaroids of Storm / Women / Nathalie powerhouse Jourdan Dunn, our minds immediately snapped back to last year, when she took part in two of the most significant moments in the industry: as a cover model of Vogue Italia’s “Black Issue” and as the first black model to grace the Prada runway in many years. Since then, Jourdan has become a Vogue US staple (Most recently on its May cover) and a catwalk queen. Her newest work will apparently arrive within W’s June issue, where she will appear in a 30+ page Craig McDean editorial with a large group of young starlets, including Dorothea Barth Jorgensen, Imogen Morris-Clarke, Karlie Kloss, Madisyn Ritland and Sigrid Agren.
Interesting enough, despite such a rich portfolio of printwork, Jourdan has yet to enter our Top 25, mainly because her campaign points have yet to stack up against the names currently on the list. However, she does reach her highest spot ever in May, landing at #28. With FW09 just around the corner, we have a feeling that her bookings will gain great magnitude in the campaigns area, and then we will finally see this well-deserving, vibrant young woman alongside the other industry greats on the rankings.
