Model Jourdan Dunn believes male models need to show "more confidence" while doing the catwalk than their female counterparts.

The 24-year-old, who was recently unveiled as the face of luxury brand Burberry alongside Naomi supermodel Campbell, insists working as woman in the fashion industry can be difficult, but believes her male counterparts have a tougher job strutting themselves on the runway because they can't wear heels.

"It's easier but then they have to bring a little something because when we wear heels we give a bit more of a walk. They have to bring more confidence, more swagger I guess," femalefirst.co.uk quoted Dunn as saying.

"Even if you think you look silly in your outfit you have to be confident and sell it," she added.
