Winnie Harlow

Winnie Harlow rose to fame as a contestant on “America’s Next Top Model,” where she encountered the judgmental nature of the fashion industry, exemplified by Yu Tsai’s disrespectful use of the nickname “panda” despite her objections.

This derogatory nickname alluded to Harlow’s vitiligo, an autoimmune condition that results in patches of skin losing pigmentation. Ever resilient, Winnie clarifies, “I don’t derive my beauty from the opinions of others. I consider myself beautiful because I know it.”
