Refilwe Modiselle
Modiselle Fynn, born in Soweto, South Africa, is the country’s pride now: she became the continent’s first albino model after completing history as the country’s first ever albino model. She also became the continent’s first albinistic runway walker in South Africa.
To the astonishment of her classmates, who kept pestering her for her looks, Modiselle was discovered when she was 13. She attended a high school in Belgium that specialized in fashion design and went on to work for David Tlale at the South Africa Fashion Week in 2005, where she made it to the Oprah Magazine Power List as a peak.
