Why Every Fashion Girl Is Obsessed With Winnie Harlow

In an interview with British photographer Nick Knight, Winnie Harlow described her modeling career and celebrity status as something that “came gradually,” but we suspect that by now you know who she is. She’s the Canadian model with the skin condition known as vitiligo who appeared in Beyoncé’s music video Lemonade. She’s appeared on the covers and pages of Wonderland, Dazed, and i-D, and she also happens to have wildly cool style.

We spotted her out and about during the most recent New York Fashion Week, and by the looks of her Instagram account, she’s got a fashionable set of friends (ahem, Bella Hadid), which leads us to assume that we’re going to be seeing a whole lot more from Harlow. See below to check out her best looks so far, and leave a comment if you’re feeling her style, too.
