Canadian model Winnie Harlow has a skin condition called vitiligo, but that doesn’t stop her from pursuing a career in high fashion. Vitiligo causes the skin to lose pigment, turning white. Harlow’s beauty and poise took her to America’s Next Top Model and scored her nominations for model of the year awards. Harlow has landed her major contracts and her photos have inspired her 3.1 million Instagram followers.
