In brief: Jourdan Dunn scoops first solo cover

Jourdan Dunn (pictured), recently predicted by Vogue to become a major supermodel, has scooped her first solo cover, for the September issue of i-D. "We put her on the cover because she represents multicultural London today and she also epitomises youthful cool," Edward Enninful, the magazine's fashion director, tells the London Evening Standard. The 17-year-old Briton is, however, sanguine. She said recently: "I go to castings and see several black and Asian girls, then I get to the show and there's just me and maybe one other coloured face."... The Queen may finally be honoured with the first statue of herself in London - but only after her death. The Independent claims that the infamous Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square - it is now used as a temporary home for a variety of conceptual art objects - has been deliberately kept unused for years because of a secret plan to erect a statue of the Queen on horseback when she dies. The plinth has, in fact, had no resident since it was built in the 1840s but a source tells the newspaper that the new plan is "perfect" because even the modern art establishment will soon run out of ideas of what to stand on it... The fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger chose 08/08/08 for his wedding to Dee Ocleppo, a former girlfriend of Prince Albert of Monaco. The couple thought it an auspicious date but it wasn't; According to the Daily Mail there was to have been a very private ceremony on Mustique but it has been called off.
