I was a little bit tired of the VS models, so I decided to  look for more models, and I found Jourdan Dunn, a black model from London , England. And I found out that she was the first black model to walk Prada runway in over a decade! Awesome right?



I love that with time to time we are getting more acceptable with skin tones and races! I found black models super pretty, just exotics... the have long arms, slim silhouettes and I found that sometimes they are the compliment to make the outfit pop! 


She said that her runway walking is not something that came form the sky, she actually practices a lot with very tall high heels! another advice for aspiring models is to practice, remember practice makes perfection.. so what are you waiting?
