Jourdan Dunn

Jourdan Dunn is "obsessed" with trainers.

The raven-haired model has a new found love of the sports shoe and has started her own collection, although she insists she still loves dressing up an outfit with a pair of heels.

She said: "I have started collecting trainers and I'm kind of obsessed. But a pair of heels can change an outfit."

The London-born beauty - who models for luxury label Burberry - admitted it took her a while to get used to sporting sky high heels when she first started out in the industry but soon learnt to work the catwalk after her mum bought her a pair of " platform hooker heels" to practise in.

She explained: "When I started modelling, I couldn't walk in heels and my mum got me these platform 'hooker' heels to teach me - if you can walk in those you can walk in anything."

Jourdan was discovered in high street store Primark in Hammersmith in 2006, aged just 16, and confessed her jet set lifestyle often left her feeling "jealous" of her school friends, although she has now learnt to appreciate it.

She told Vogue UK magazine: "I wish I had been more appreciative of my situation in the beginning, but I guess those feelings were natural - I was so jealous of missing out on college, on being with my friends. But I get it now."
