Now that Harlow is a full-fledged Angel, she’ll be walking in the coveted Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in November.

The location for the show has yet to be announced.

Harlow made a name for herself after appearing as a contestant during cycle 21 of “America’s Next Top Model”. She’s also a public spokesperson for vitiligo, a condition that causes the skin to lose its pigment and colour in blotches.
