This Model With Down Syndrome Is Going To Walk At New York Fashion Week

Yaaass, Madeline! Yaaass!

Earlier this year, the world was introduced to 18-year-old Brisbane model Madeline Stuart. This week it was announced that she will be walking the runway at New York Fashion Week.

While advocate and American Horror Story actress Jamie Brewer was the first Down syndrome model to walk the NYFW runway, Madeline is the first to be booked for two different Fashion Week campaigns.

EverMaya – the second label booking Madeline – is also releasing a limited edition line of handbags in her honour.

Madeline, you are flawless, and we cannot wait to watch you shine bright at Fashion Week.

BuzzFeed has reached out to Madeline for comment.
