London fashion publication i-D magazine is always one to watch, what with their near back-to-back covers of nude models, as well as their predictions on who’s got next. Their new issue is no different.
Titled “Exhibitionists,” the magazine has four different covers for April: Lady Gaga, Jourdan Dunn and Karlie Kloss, Anja Rubik and Meghan Collison, Shu Pei, Tati Cotliar are all cover girls. Each issue is about clothes and baring one’s soul.
In her editorial, Dunn talks about being a single mother (her man was busted for cocaine possession two years ago) at 20 and her son’s illness. Read an excerpt of the interview after the break and check out Dunn’s stunning cover.

Model Jourdan Dunn in the new issue of i-D:
What’s the best thing about motherhood?
J: The unconditional love for you child, it’s truly amazing. I will always put Riley before anything else because I’m a mother first, everything else comes after.
What’s the hardest?
J: Riley has Sickle Cell disease, so the hardest thing is not knowing if Riley is just miserable or if he’s in pain and having a crisis. Last December, he had his first crisis and he was submitted to the hospital for a blood transfusion. It was the scariest thing. All I wanted to do was take the pain away… I felt helpless as a mother.
But now that we have experienced his first crisis, we are more prepared and know what to look out for. I am hoping to be able to lend my support to a Sickle Cell charity in the near future, as I want to try and help raise money and awareness about this disease.
