My Take

Winnie Harlow is, to me, one of the most genuinely subversive figures in modern fashion. Rather than concealing her vitiligo, she made it the centerpiece of her image and forced the industry to widen its narrow definition of beauty. Rising out of a reality TV competition and landing in Beyonce's Lemonade, then being named one of the BBC's 100 Women, she converted what others would treat as a flaw into a signature. I find her story less about modeling than about agency and self-definition. She did not ask permission to be seen, and that confidence is what makes her genuinely magnetic to me.

Overview

Chantelle Whitney Brown-Young (born July 27, 1994), known professionally as Winnie Harlow, is a Canadian fashion model, actress and public spokesperson on the skin condition vitiligo. She gained prominence in 2014 as a contestant on the 21st cycle of the U.S. television series America's Next Top Model. Harlow later appeared in the Beyoncé-directed visual album Beyoncé: Lemonade (2016).
