Winnie Harlow

[71000]

She has vitiligo, the same skin condition that Michael Jackson had, but her face looks really interesting because the lighter spots are almost symmetrical. She's in Eminem's music video "Guts Over Fear" and there has been some media buzz about her (Dazed 100, MDC feature, buzzfeed) because she is the first model with vitiligo. She's not represented by an agency, but she is booking pretty prominent work on her own. I think the vitiligo looks interesting in print, but way too distracting on the runway.

Yeah (ex: http://nypost.com/2014/09/09/antm-model-chantelle-brown-young-is-changing-the-face-of-fashion/) but as I recall it her instagram handle has always been @winnieharlow, so maybe she's just rebranding and trying to distance herself from the ANTM "personality"?

Her name is Chantelle Brown-Young

Yeah I think @amincer is right when she said that she probably uses a nickname so people don't associate her with ANTM as much

She is a beautiful woman and definitely have that THING that differs her from others but I just don't see her as a model...
