Twins With Albinism Wear Their Condition With Style

in twins •  7 years ago 

Fashion-obsessed twins who both have albinism want to inspire people to be proud of the skin they were born in. The chances of a child being born with albinism are one in 17,000 - but the chances of twins being born with albinism is far rarer - the odds are not even known. Identical twins Rosemary and Christina Alubankudi, from New York City, are part of this rare club. The 24-year-olds were born with the rare genetic condition, which is caused by a partial or complete lack of melanin, the pigment, which gives hair, skin and eyes their colour. The sisters aren’t just twins, they are best friends too and through their love of fashion, they want to inspire others to be proud of who they are.
