Taking to her Instagram, she wrote:
“You know what’s crazy about this moment? My first fashion week, I had no money and no agency, yet spent my last and flew myself out to NYC in hopes of walking for Kanye’s first Yeezy show. Clearly, I didn’t get it. I didn’t get any show that year, actually. I flew back home and cried in bed. But I never gave up knowing that I wanted to make younger me proud; the younger me that never seen anyone who looked like me. This year, Kanye West walked right up to me to put me in Yeezy. Wow. Blessed. Full circle.”
Winnie Harlow had modeled for both Kanye West on Yeezy and his ex-wife Kim Kardashian for her SKIMs series.
