Model With Vitiligo Skin Pigmentation Wins Beauty Pageant (Photos)

Winnie Harlow is 19 years old and she has the skin pigment condition Vitiligo. It’s a whole new ball game entirely as she has gone from America’s Next Top Model wannabe to one of 2015’s hottest models.

Last weekend, she picked up the Beauty Idol award at German magazine Gala’s Spa Awards 2015 in Baden-Baden, looking gorgeous in a sequin and lace red dress.

Asked what the award meant to her, she said: ‘It’s an amazing honour. The fact that people recognize what I’m fighting makes my success even more valuable.’
