British supermodel Jourdan Dunn has announced that she is the first black model to score a solo spot on the cover of British ‘Vogue’ after thirteen years today, celebrating the achievement nine years after she was discovered by ‘Storm Model Management.’
Her good news after the jump…
The last black model to rock the publication’s cover solo was Naomi Campbell back in 2002, thirteen years before it emerged Jourdan was to cover its February 2015 edition.
She shared:
Her news marks another win for those hoping to eradicate racism in fashion, addressed by the likes of male model Tyson Beckford and the aforementioned Campbell who slammed the industry’s bias against models of colour.

We live in a sad world….. This is beautiful, but U gotta be kidding me; 13 years with not 1 other black woman? That’s terrible!
Tyson and Naomi R not lying !!!
This is bittersweet… it took 13 long years??? wow, what is seriously wrong with people? Anyway congratulations Ms. Dunn, its such a shame cos she’s been proactive in the fashion industry for years; only for this to be her first British vogue cover.
slay Jourdan SLAY!!!
Black people in Britain only account for measly 2% of the population so this isn’t really shocking. I somewhat think it’s a great business move for her to address this. It’s especially good for the white people in the British fashion business and hopefully they’ll be more black models in the UK getting magazine covers. She’s gorgeous.
Why do I have many vote downs. White people must be mad, or maybe it’s my haters like Career Struggles.
Know one cares about Vogue that much anymore. Vogue is overrated like beyonce, nothing special.
No
another Queen Beyoncé hating demon pops up from nowhere
.
these things never stop
.
the fact that you talk about her out of all artists shows that she’s better than them all. She #1 . bow down biatch
Sad that it took 13 years for this to happen but really happy for her! If only American Vogue could follow suit instead of using the same borin b****** on every cover (*cough* Blake Lively).
Get it Yonce gurl!!
She’s so beautiful
Yall make a big deal outta everything..
She looks phenomenal! Congratulations to her.
Sam remember how you lost that commentor “X, Y and Z”?
.
its due to you writting on these females only
.
where is the post about Bruno Mars being #2 on the Billboard Hot 100?
they made her look white on the cover *smh*
It’s the powerful lighting you stupid hoë. Did you not see the article’s preview pic? Did you not see her in the ‘Yonce’ video? She was the darkskinned girl.

BYE. you were the most dragged commentator on the New Years post LOL even on a festive occasion people still hate you – Done feeding you attention, because that’s the reason why you can stand to dedicate such a big portion of your existence to internet forums. shady messy queen with your recycled 2010 sandra rose drags, be gone!

You lying ass bittch. Where was I dragged? Point out where was dragged. I think It’s time to get out of hood, hoodrat, and start hitting them books. And who is Sandra Rose???? LOL. Your pathetic attempt at dragging has me in tears. It’s like you’re running for president and you want the public to favour you. Sweety this is not the first time. Clearly you can’t can get enough of me, because you never say anything. I give you life and I doubt it will be the last. Nice try tho. I do love your persistence. LOL. 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

oh Gosh LOOOL! was your new years resolution to not take your medication regularly LOOOL!! was not going to respond, but that was such a weakass comeback, and I was personally expecting more from you. You’re repetitive, unoriginal and ignorant, and your comebacks are always involve dated drags like ‘hoodrat’, ‘ghetto’ or ‘your drags are weak’ BYE! illiterate bittch and who the f*** hashtags in blog comments anymore, no-ones here to read your hashtag essays. and *death* and you posting receipts to your own dragging, last time I checked you were dragged by @TheElusiveLamb, @MariahIsMusic1, @Stephy, @CareerEnder all in one thread. enrol yourself in some classes in common sense and self-respect, and you on here constantly talking about other peoples education (I’m sure it’s really easy to decipher someone IQ based on a comment they leave on a blog), which clearly shows that your pressed about your own education or lack thereof.
congrats to her! but let’s talk about how this blog spent the whole past year tryna shade Rihanna and yet it’s been more than 24 hours since a demo from hers leaked and… nothing but a overstretched Rita Ora quote. LMAO. the thirst is reeeeeal
That’s cute and all but she looks anything but close to the average black girl, reminds me when People magazine named Beyoncé ‘World’s most beautiful woman’ but she wasn’t representing the beauty of black women at all, wake up people.
You’re white, right? Its funny because I actually have to somewhat agree with you. A lot of the top black “female” models are just… meh (imo). But on the same token, many of the white ones are too. Of course there are a lot that are stunning. But the top girls are just pretty girls. I think, for the most part, white people have no idea what black beauty is about. What’s strange about that is how obvious it should be, seemingly. These are supposed to be purveyors of art.
WoW! Wait, didn’t certain black pop stars cover? I think they also qualify as models…
i cant with people acting af no black person has covered vogue in 13 years only a black model
Huh? What are you meaning to say?
its meant to say
i cant with people acting as if a black person hasnt covered vogue when its only a black model who hasnt
my damn phone skips words and letters
im sorry but is this really an achievement when she looks nothing like a black girl on that cover… Its sad, 13 years and the message is:
you got to look white to make it
Werk Jourdan!
She looks like a white woman on that cover. If we can could just get Africa back to the the Amazing growing economy it use to be we wouldnt need to give a sh*t about what white people thought of us because we could just go back to the place we belong to in the World. We’re our children would be minority’s or the other they would just be them. And with over 50 country alone in Africa that would be more then enough money the just be ritch or middle class there & we wouldn’t need Europe or America.
Naomi’s wig is so on point
Congrats to Jordan Dunn for the cover of Vogue magazine!! This is a disrespectful issue to American people. I know their are so many other enthicity who hasn’t broke down their racial discrimination as well. And I’m starting to feel as Americans we will never break down racial discrimination. I feel as long as white Americans in charge we will continue to have these issue. They feel white is perfect and GOD only made one perfect creation. Whites will be the reason why the world end because of their small minded thoughts.
Ok and? When’s the last time a Latina, Asian or Indian graced the cover?
Kesha was the first White woman (solo) to grace the cover of Vibe. Gwen was the first period 5 years before. I hate how Blacks try so hard and hold White media up so high, yet call our own media ghetto and EBT.
