The Central Saint Martins knitwear graduate has previously collaborated with fashion houses Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs and Miu Miu.
Winnie, who first shot to fame on the 21st season of America’s Next Top Model, looked sensational in Bovan’s upcoming collection and oozed confidence as she modeled the highly distinctive look.
She was diagnosed with vitiligo around the age of four and has become a spokesperson for the condition, regularly speaking out on the subject.
Despite her insecurities as a child, the star has not let her condition hold her back and is highly regarded as one of the most in-demand models of the moment.
In an interview with Cosmopolitan magazine, she recalled, “Kids called me a cow and mooed at me. I remember sitting by my window and wishing to the stars that my skin condition would go away.
“Everyone asks me what the turning point was, but I made the effort to focus my opinion on myself. I thought, wait, I don’t actually think I’m ugly, I think I’m beautiful. So where did I get the idea that I wasn’t? Someone else’s.’
The beauty was joined on the catwalk by fellow model Ashley, 35, who also created the distinctive look.
Ashley wore a floral print dress with a belt that cinched her waist and a statement multi-colored piece wrapped around her.

She finished with blue printed tights and leopard print heels.
The body-positive model has always been outspoken about her own struggles with body image, once admitting to being in a relationship and being verbally abused for her weight.
Acknowledging that body image issues will always be a topic she will have to speak about, Ashley shared Today parents: “Not a day goes by where I don’t have that (body image) discussion with someone else or myself.”

She added, “And also, just being a woman and working in the fashion industry — being an ‘influencer’ and being on social media — it’s constant.”
The former America’s Next Top Model judge shares three children with her husband, videographer Justin Ervin.
The couple has been married for thirteen years after meeting in church in 2009.
After the birth of her first son Isaac in January 2020, the talented model and television personality gave birth to twins Malachi and Roman a year later.
