As a Congolese model in Hong Kong, Harmony “Anne-Marine” Ilunga found it hard to meet beauty and body expectations in Asia. Despite being rejected by several modelling agencies, the 22-year-old has remained unfettered. In 2018, Ilunga founded her own agency that welcomes male and female models of all skin tones and sizes. She has also started an online shop for ethnic minority and refugee designers to sell their products.
