Born with albinism, Xueli Abbing was abandoned as a baby in China because of her appearance. After being placed in an orphanage, she was later adopted by a caring family in the Netherlands, offering her hope for a better future.
At age 11, her distinctive beauty drew the attention of a photographer, landing her a modeling campaign that embraced “perfect imperfections.” Now 16, Xueli has graced the pages of Vogue, transforming rejection into success and showing that true beauty comes from diversity and resilience.
