Winnie Harlow is a Canadian fashion model who found fame on America's Next Top Model. After placing fifth in the reality competition series, Harlow booked campaigns with Desigual, Diesel, Swarovski and Burt’s Bees. The Canadian girl was diagnosed with skin condition vitiligo at aged four, the same condition which is believed to have affected Michael Jackson.

However, even as the new face of Desigual, Harlow doesn’t want to be seen as just a “spokesmodel” for vitiligo. “If one day I’m all black I’m still a model. If one day I’m all white I’m still a model. I am not my skin. I am a model with a skin condition. Humans - like flowers - come in so many ranges; colours, heights and sizes, for example," she told harpersbazaar.co.uk. "None of those differences makes one flower or human better or more beautiful. It's the differences that make us all beautiful.”
