Albino people, deprived of the pigment melanin, are called people of a special caste. And this is no coincidence. They have transparent-porcelain skin, snow-white hair, colorless eyebrows and eyelashes … Mysterious and unusual, they immediately stand out among the crowd, causing others to be surprised and interested.
A few years ago it was impossible to imagine that albinos would storm the catwalks, but the fashion world is expanding its borders. And now the outfits are demonstrated by girls and boys with a very non-standard appearance, which differs from the imposed standards of beauty.
New star in the model sky
A 24-year-old model from South Africa first appeared in an advertisement for the Vichy cosmetic brand. Charismatic, bright, spectacular, she made a lasting impression on the audience who wanted to know who this unusual beauty was.
Her name is Tando Hopa, but the main area of activity of the girl is not modeling. She works as a lawyer and has long been involved in protecting the rights of people like her.
The fact is that in Africa, albinos are considered damned people. They are offended, insulted, but the worst thing is that the hunt begins for them. Local sorcerers are sure: the blood and organs of the "children of Satan", which are valued very expensively, are healing. They prepare medicines for all diseases from them, and then sell them to the sick.
