14 DAY TRIAL // Jourdan Dunn is a gorgeous model but, as she said herself in the past, she often lost contracts because she’s black. This time, though, she was fired because of the size of her breasts, she says on her Twitter feed.
Dunn took to social media to announce she’d been let go from the prestigious fashion house of Dior because of her breasts, but she still managed to find the funny side in the whole thing.
“Ahahahahahaha I just for cancelled from Dior because of my [breasts]! I❤ fashion #Couture,” she wrote.
Media reports claim that Dunn is a 32A, which, by the standards in the industry, means she has a very generous bust.
“I'm normally told I'm cancelled because I'm ‘colored’ so being cancelled because off my [breasts] is a minor : ),” the model also wrote.
As of now, Dior is yet to respond to the allegations and every moment they stall is another PR step they have to take back, because Jourdan is earning more support and attention for her case by the minute.
To make matters even worse, the potential PR disaster comes on the heels of criticism that it’s using only white models because it’s deliberately turning away black girls, as the Daily Mail points out.
“I feel the Dior cast is just so pointedly white that it feels deliberate,” James Scully, in charge of model casting at Tom Ford, Jason Wu, Derek Lam, Stella McCartney, Lanvin and Carolina Herrera, said earlier this year, as cited by the British tab.
“I watch that show and it bothers me – I almost can’t even concentrate on the clothes because of the cast. And recently they’re changing from a very diverse, worldwide, multicultural cast to just a very Germanic-looking white girl,” Scully also said.
As it turns out, Dior is also out to fire girls with curves.
