Refilwe Modiselle

Refilwe Modiselle was discovered during her early teenage years. However, she wasn’t as confident as she is today at the time. She has albinism, and she was bullied because of this. After all, it seems to be a norm for kids to notice someone for being different. Nonetheless, this did not deter the South African from pursuing a career in fashion. She is widely credited for working with David Tlale in 2005’s South Africa Fashion Week. Moreover, she was even included in Oprah Winfrey’s Power List.

Nowadays, Modiselle is one of the most famous South African Models. She will forever be part of fashion history as the first-ever South African model with albinism. Likewise, she is also the first albino to walk on a runway in South Africa.
