Supermodels Chanel Iman and Jourdan Dunn are gracing the cover of the upcoming November issue of Teen Vogue. Both of these ladies are gorgeous and are an inspiration because they bring some much needed diversity to the runway. I love these models! Chanel is wearing a Miu Miu bodysuit and Jourdan a Miu Miu dress shot at Atlantic City, NJ. The November issue will hit stands October 13th. To read more about their interview with Teen Vogue, go here.

“It’s competition,” Jourdan says. “There aren’t a lot of us, but instead of sticking together, we’re pitted against each other. People will say things in Chanel’s ear like, ‘Jourdan is taking your spot,’ and then they’ll say to me, ‘Don’t trust Chanel.’”

A large part of the problem stems from the ridiculous idea that there’s only room for one. Chanel says, “You’re being told, ‘So and so is only booking one black girl. It’s either you or Jourdan,’ So we’ll be sitting in the lobby looking at each other like, ‘Okay, I want this job, and she wants it too. Which one of us is going to get it?”

The show was packed with major models such as Chanel Iman, Tyson Beckford, Karlie Kloss, and Iris Strubegger to name a few.
