Supermodel Winnie Harlow and Washington Wizards star Kyle Kuzma started dating in 2020. At the beginning of the pandemic, Kuzma shot his shot by DMing the Canadian supermodel on Instagram and soon enough the two got together. 27-year-old Kuzma is one of the most talented youngsters in the league today. On the other hand, Harlow is a celebrated supermodel who got her first big break from the American reality TV show, America’s Next Top Model.
She was diagnosed with vitiligo, a chronic skin condition when she was four years old. Over 70 million people worldwide suffer from this condition which often has a deep impact on them. Harlow is widely credited for breaking the mould of orthodox beauty standards.

Apart from that, she has done advertisement campaigns for popular brands like Diesel, Steve Madden, Nike, Puma, and Fendi, to name a few. Needless to say, the Ontario native has made her mark in the fashion world, that too while challenging the beauty norms. However, her journey to the pinnacle of the fashion industry wasn’t easy.
During a recent conversation with model and actress Emily Ratajkowski, Harlow talked about her beginnings in the fashion world. She said that when she was entering the industry, there wasn’t any blueprint for people like her. Although she agreed that the movement challenging beauty norms was active at that point, the world was still looking at beauty a certain way. She said that “I feel like, people try to say that we made our own moulds, but I feel like we just broke moulds.” The two models also said that social media has played a big role in the growing acceptance of the different “versions of beautiful”.
