Winnie Harlow, born Chantelle Brown-Young on July 27, 1994, in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, developed the skin condition vitiligo at age four. Growing up, she faced bullying, which led to her changing schools and contemplating suicide. Her resilience and unique appearance eventually became central to her rise in the fashion industry. She gained initial prominence in 2014 as a contestant on the 21st cycle of the U.S. television series “America’s Next Top Model.” Although she was eliminated twice, her distinctive look and personality left a lasting impression, leading to a successful modeling career.
Following “America’s Next Top Model,” Harlow quickly secured significant modeling opportunities. She became an official brand representative for the Spanish clothing brand Desigual and walked in London Fashion Week for Ashish’s spring/summer 2015 collection. Her portfolio expanded to include work with Italian clothing brand Diesel for its spring/summer 2015 campaign, shot by Nick Knight. Her images appeared in fashion magazines such as i-D and Dazed, and she was featured in Spanish and Italian editions of Glamour magazine. In August 2015, she was featured in Complex magazine and Cosmopolitan, and also shot the cover for Ebony magazine’s September issue alongside Fatima Siad. Her career progressed with campaigns for Sprite and Swarovski in 2016.
Harlow’s career has seen continued growth and diversification. In 2018, she made history as the first model with vitiligo to walk in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, further breaking barriers in the industry. She was recognized as one of BBC’s 100 Women in 2018 for her advocacy and influence. Her work extends beyond modeling into acting, with roles in films like “Alone at Night” (2023) and “The Perfect Find” (2023), and voice acting in animated series such as “Monster High” (2024) and Marvel’s “Eyes of Wakanda” (2025). She has also launched her own sun care and skincare brand, Cay Skin, in 2022, demonstrating her entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to addressing personal experiences through her business ventures.
