Winnie Harlow on the childhood book that inspired her stage name
Winnie Harlow has said she was inspired by Winnie-the-Pooh when she came up with her stage name. The fashion model, 28, whose real name is Chantelle Whitney Brown Young, first found fame on the 21st season of America’s Next Top Model. She has been praised for challenging attitudes around beauty by raising awareness over a skin condition she suffers from called vitiligo, which causes skin to lose its pigmentation.
