24-Year-Old Model Accomplishes Her Dream Of Becoming Victoria’s Secret’s First Model With Down Syndrome

The internet collected these, and it is hard to look away.

I think we all agree that fashion designers have always chosen gorgeous, traditionally attractive, and able-bodied models to showcase their clothing on the catwalk and other less traditional fashion events. These models have set high standards to be more graceful than the average person, and have actively played a role in establishing a discrepancy between what models and actual real everyday people look like.

However, as society, we progress further and further each year, and it wasn’t a surprise when recently a lot of big brands and modeling agencies started introducing a lot of differently abled people as part of their brand, giving more realistic representation on runways and magazine covers.

Today we’d like to share with you the story of 24-year-old Puerto Rican model Sofía Jirau, who has Down syndrome.

We have also shared Sofía’s first story featuring her debut at New York Fashion Week way back in 2020, and if you’d like to find out more about it, you can find it by clicking here .
