'People said I looked like a zebra'

Bashir Aziz used to hide his skin because he was told he looked like a zebra and a cow. He has vitiligo - a long-term condition which causes patches of skin to lose their normal pigment, or melanin, and they turn white. Now Bashir is using his unique look to earn a living as a model. He said: "the man in the mirror is much more happier, more positive, sexier".
