A 24-year-old model achieves her dream of being the first Down syndrome model for Victoria's Secret.

 


We can all agree that fashion designers have always chosen attractive, generally beautiful, and physically fit models to model their wares on the catwalk and at other non-traditional fashion events. These models have set high criteria for being more exquisite than the average person. They have purposefully contributed to forming a disparity between what models and genuine real-life people look like.

However, as a society, we are developing year after year. So it's no surprise that many large corporations and modeling agencies have recently begun to feature many differently-abled people as part of their brand, providing more accurate representation on runways and magazine covers.

We want to introduce you to Sofia Jirau, a 24-year-old Puerto Rican model with Down syndrome.
