Model with rare skin condition unveiled as face of two major fashion campaigns
WINNIE HARLOW, A 19-year-old Canadian model, was announced as the face of two major fashion campaigns this week.
Why the fuss?
Because Harlow suffers from a rare skin pigment disorder called vitiligo, which causes the loss of colour in some patches.

She also stars in Diesel’s latest campaign, which is entitled Say Something Nice and aims to promote “tolerance, equality and unconditional love”.
