Winnie Harlow has never been one to hide her true feelings. In a recent interview with photographer Nick Knight on SHOWstudio, the Canadian model discusses her unique career as an outspoken model. ”I don’t think I can ever just be a face.” says Harlow assertively. “I have to have a voice as well.” The model further elaborates on the importance to “say what you mean, and mean what you say” in today’s digital age, as she firmly believes that everyone has the right to honestly express their opinions. In addition, Harlow opens up about her insecurities during her early years of modelling, and how her confidence has allowed her to stay professional during photoshoots.
