JOURDAN
DUNN
Having spent much of
her career as one of the
few black women willing
and able to speak out
against whitewashing
in fashion, Jourdan
Dunn tells Yomi Adegoke
(on page 202) that she
“did start feeling like a
lone voice”. However, in
this new age of increased
transparency and
diversity, things now
appear differently to
the London-born model.
“What I love about
this generation,” she
continues, “is that
everyone’s so fearless
and everyone has a voice- people are not gonna
let things slide anymore.
I don’t believe that it can
go backwards, because
people won’t allow it.”
