JOURDAN DUNN
Jourdan Dunn made her first public appearance last week at a mall runway show in London- to raise money for Fashion For Relief - since the arrest her her boyfriend and father of her son.
Dunn's first and only post-birth walk was in London for Aquascutum. Her absence in Milan and Paris were blamed on the arrest of her boyfriend, Jordan Cummings, for possesion of cocaine.

Rose Cordero, is that you?
Just in time to worship a new face or a face we never paid notice to, Rose Cordero covers Vogue Paris, as the first solo black cover since Liya Kebede in 2002.
Cordero, a Dominican native, has walked for a handful of prominent designers - as we mistook her for a post-pregnant Jourdan Dunn during Givenchy Spring Couture - since her debut.
But enough about her...what about the use of Louis Vuitton belts as neckwear jewelry?
Would you dare?
Today's motto is that if you tie a shiny (yet slightly grimey) leather belt around anything - black, white or brown - in your wardrobe, you'd fit right into Aqauscutum's Fall 2010 look.
But, we wouldn't put all of our eggs in one basket if we were you. These girls are extremely skinny.
The great news is that Aqauscutum is Jourdan Dunn's post-baby runway debut - which, in the modeling world, should have happened about two weeks after delivery - although she looks a bit more old mature, and ready to be a talk show host. Tyra Banks, is that you?
Just when we decided to count new mother, Jourdan Dunn, out and and replace her with what's her name? Rose Cordero, we recieved news of Dunn being in the process of making a massive comeback into the fashion Industry.
The Imagist reports:
"Back in the editorial mix BIG-time...think Blue Chip Only Girl A + bookings back to back."
Well, honestly, we were kind of excited about our imaginary replacement - though Dunn is quite ferocious.
Did anyone else spot the Jourdan Dunn look-a-like during the Givenchy couture presenation?
Clearly, Dunn opted to be a mother this season - to a baby boy - rather than walk down the runway, but there's always a replacement with a striking resemblance.
The model, Rose Cordero, is with Supreme. And, although she may just be a fill-in, it's nice to see a fresh face name on the roster.
She has had quite a pleasant season walking in Spring 2010 shows for Rodarte, Jason Wu, Pucci and others, to name a few.
But, can she pull it off for the Fall 2010 season?
Tis' the season for models to have babies. Yesterday we found out that supermodel Gisele Bündchen gave birth to a baby boy with husband and football player Tom Brady. And today we learned that 19-year-old model Jourdan Dunn gave birth to a boy on Tuesday afternoon; so her son and Gisele's son were either born on the same day, or just hours apart. Dunn has been with her boyfriend for five years. The daring model even walked the runway seven months pregnant for Jean Paul Gaultier's show. Her agency hasn't said whether she'll walk the shows again in February (I hope), but a rep says, "Jourdan is really well and super happy."
The list of preggers supermodels just keeps growing, as do their bellies. Vogue announced today, rather astutely I might add, that 19-year-old model Jourdan Dunn is 4 months pregnant.
Instead of addressing the young Londoner’s age and the rise of teenage pregnancy, the article chose to highlight fall trends from Burberry and Stella McCartney that will flatter her new fuller pregnant figure. The model that was hailed by Tyra Banks as the model of her generation is expecting a boy. The father of the baby is unknown as she has not been seen out with anyone is particular as of late. Dunn, who everyone assumed would be one of the beauties walking the runways of Oscar de la Renta, Chanel, and Jason Wu this fall for the Spring 2010 fashion shows is likely to step down.
I suppose congratulations are in order, but then again we’re not trying to advocate teen pregnancy. Tyra will have a field day with this one.
