Excellent news for equal opportunities, as a black model Jourdan Dunn wins, maybe British Vogue will follow the lead of Italian Vogue earlier this year and feature her on the cover. Although slight concern that the winner has thighs the same size of her upper arms, models are thin yes, but Jourdan is extremely so.
Matthew Williamson also announced at his win for red carpet designer of the year, his plans to join forces with H&M for their spring/summer collection 2009. He will be in good company as previously Stella McCartney and Viktor and Rolf has also put their name to the Swedish high street brand.
