    Madeline Stuart, an 19 year-old Australian model with Down’s Syndrome, has landed yet another big fashion campaign...

    Madeline Stuart, an 19 year-old Australian model with Down’s Syndrome, has landed yet another big fashion campaign, making new waves in the industry and prompting hundreds of lovely comments on social media.

    The latest dream job she’s landed is modelling bridal wear for designer Sarah Houston - and she looks absolutely stunning in the shots.

    Changing people’s perceptions of disability, and reminding retailers, quite crucially, that anyone and everyone can love and shop for fashion, Madeline’s work is really breaking boundaries in an industry that can brand anyone without a thigh gap as ‘imperfect’.
