Sedene's time to shine

19 year old Jamaican model Sedene Blake is continuing the dream start to her international modelling career, if her record so far at London Fashion Week is any indicator.

 Since LFW started officially on Friday, Sedene has walked in no less than seven shows so far - an impressive run for a newcomer.  Her walks have included some big names like Vivienne Westwood's Red Label and fashion favourites Nicole Farhi and House of Holland. 

 Take a look at some of her catwalk appearances so far.

JOURDAN'S BAAA-AACK!

Can you tell we're excited?!

One of our favourite islandistas walking the fashion runways, Jourdan Dunn is set to be back in action for London Fashion Week, after being out for a good part of last year when she was pregnant.



Jourdan delivered her first child, a baby boy in December and now she is set to make her return in her home city.

The showcard above surfaced a few days ago on models.com, sending the fashion pack into a frenzy of anticipation for the return of the islandista who was Britain's model of the year in 2008.

And then the story broke in the mainstream press with New York Magazine and British Vogue reporting her imminent return.

According to the gossip on fashion forum The Fashion Spot, she was sighted at a Russell Marsh casting and folks have been speculating about which of the shows he casts will she appear in - guesses right now are on Richard Nicoll, Chris Kane, Jaeger and Jonny Saunders and Prada.

Yay! Welcome back Jourdan! We sure missed you!

Model behaviour: Naomi for Haiti, Jeneil's nude cover & more

[caption id="attachment_1964" align="alignleft" width="250" caption="Photo credit: Vogue.co.uk"][/caption]

Islandista born and descended models have started 2010 as busy as they were in 2009.



The queen of them all, Brit-yaadie Naomi Campbell has been working hard at putting together her annual Fashion for Relief show, which will benefit Haiti this year.

She is teaming up with Sarah Brown, wife of British Prime Minister Gordon Brown for the show which will take place during London Fashion Week.

Thus far, Naomi has brought on fashion friends Dolce & Gabbana, Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood for the event which takes place on February 18th.

She was out and about this week doing interviews and photo calls for the event.

Say what you want about Naomi (and yes, there is nuff to say) but her heart is as big as her temper. She has always worked hard for charity causes.

In more islandista model news, fellow Jamaican models Jeneil Williams and Jaunel McKenzie are going hard for 2010 - already. More on their blazing start to 2010 when you read on.

Jaunel worked like a beast the week before Christmas 09, jetting to New York, Paris and London to shoot editorials coming out this month for four major publications - British Marie Claire, French Glamour and American Cosmo and Red.

Whew! Talk about 'you better work!' The girl ent playing.

Two of the shoots were actually Caribbean collabos, with the Glamour editorial shot by Jamaican photog Walter Chin and the Cosmo one done by Haitian Marc Baptiste.

And Jeneil is taking it all off for the hotly anticipated cover of LOVE magazine, the edgy fashion pub from the Conde Nast stable. The picture is one of at least four cover shots that have been leaked with Lara Stone, Daria Werbowy and Kristen McMenamy covering others in the same pose - however, LOVE is fond of going with multiple covers.

Not to mention that folks at top model blog, models.com are going crazy over the pic and Jeneil's strong, sensual shot.

I read some saying that her pose was not giving off as much strength as her face but I disagree. I think the pose is strong and her expression is giving it a touch of vulnerability. That's just me.

It's a big cover though - love the 'Fashion Icons' stamp on it - go deh Jeneil!

And in a final islandista model tidbit, word in the blogosphere is that our girl Jourdan Dunn is set to make her comeback soon and will be doing it big.

According to The Imagist:

Jourdan Dunn lovers, unite in celebration...a mere few weeks after giving birth London's loveliest is back in the editorial mix BIG-time. Think Blue Chip Only Girl A + bookings back to back...

We can't wait! Bring on LFW!

Go dehhh! Sigail and Jeneil work London Fashion Week

[caption id="attachment_1511" align="aligncenter" width="450" caption="Running tings... Jamaican models Jeneil Williams (left) and Sigail Currie (right) on the runways of London Fashion Week./ Photo credit: Style.com"][/caption]



Just as we observed about the recent New York Fashion Week, the just-ended London Fashion Week was more colourful than in years past - though, unlike NYFW, London's colour was not as evenly spread out between shows.

There were still a lot of very snowy shows. However, there were also quite a few shows that really represented for the 'ethnic' models such as Nathan Jenden whose show was full of colour in both the dresses and the models, which brought some balance.

Which is all good news for islandista models and islandista fashion watchers.

Again, islandista models were spotted on the runways, though there was not as great a diversity as at NYFW.

But those that got work... got work and leading the fash pack for the Caribbean were Jamaican models Jeneil Williams (who was hardly seen at all during NYFW) and Sigail Currie.

Even though we spotted Sigail in more looks, we have to give the edge to Jeneil as we spotted her in more shows - six to Sigail's five. Plus, she opened the show for Paul Smith (as seen in the photo above) - a significant coup.

Check out some of their pics after the jump.

Islandistas out and about - Jourdan, Selita and ... Foxy?

[caption id="attachment_1504" align="alignleft" width="259" caption="Photo credit: Fashionologie"][/caption]

  She might be big pregnant but that is not stopping our favourite islandista model Jourdan Dunn, from making the scene during the Spring/Summer 2010 fashion season.



 

First, she was made an appearance for Vogue's big event, Fashion's Night Out in London and then she made it over to New York City for Fashion Week there and hung out  on the front rows and backstage with friends like Sessilee Lopez.

And now she's popping up at her hometown's own, London Fashion Week, taking in the Top Shop Unique(above) and Issa shows (below).

 

And it looks like pregnancy agrees with Jourdan as she is looking mighty perky in the cleavage department nowadays, especially in that Issa maxi dress.

Other islandistas have been out and about recently.

Caymanian Selita Ebanks made an appearance at the New Yorkers for Children charity ball last night in a gorrrr-geous yellow J. Mendel gown.



And on the less than fab side, Trini-descended former jailbird and (former?) rapper Foxy Brown surfaced at the VH1 Hip Hop Honours last night. Looking ... like this.



What precisely is going on here? Nobody could have told her this was cute. Damn it, Foxy.
