This special girl named Madeline Stuart has recently accepted congratulations on her 22nd birthday. Just like everyone else at her age, she also likes to chat away with her friends, go to the cinema or to cafes. However, there are two things that make her different from others – Madeline has Down Syndrome and she is a professional model.
Madeline was born in Australia. Her parents were informed that she had problems. In addition, Madeline had excess weight that she couldn’t get rid of for many years.
However, in 2014 the girl’s life was changed after going to a fashion show with her mom. Madeline just fell in love with modeling profession and wanted to, no matter what, walk on par with other beauties on the catwalk. Her mom realized it meant everything to the daughter, so she helped her achieve her goals.
She started to lose weight. A year later, due to a healthy diet and exercises, she weighed 20kg less than before.
In her turn, the girl’s mom was sending Madeline’s CV to various modeling agencies. A year later, in 2015, the girl was noticed and offered to participate in one of the fashion shows as a model.
Later, many other agencies started to turn to Madeline for co-operation. This was followed by work in Paris, a number of fashion shows and photoshoots. Thanks to Madeline walking on the catwalk, the modeling world started to look at “beauty standards” from another perspective.
Currently Madeline is taking part in 18 fashion shows a year, and wishes that one day she will walk on the “Victoria’s Secret” catwalk.
