Meet Madeline Stuart, NYFW's Newest & Chicest Model

This is Madeline Stuart.She is an 18-year-old Australian model, and she is literally turning heads and absolutely slaying the fashion game.Madeline just so happened to be born with down syndrome, but she is not letting that, or anyone else’s stigma about the condition, stop her from pursuing her high-fashion dreams.In many ways, Madeline is just a regular, down-to-Earth teenage girl. She loves pizza.And traveling.And hanging out with friends.But in other ways, Madeline is extraordinary. Through her modeling, Madeline is helping redefine beauty standards and add diversity to an industry that is always criticized for being too exclusive.She has an obvious talent for fashion and modeling, and she is already the face of brands like EverMaya and Manifesta.And earlier this week, Madeline was picked to model for the MODA brand at the upcoming New York Fashion Week, one of the world’s largest and most revered fashion events.It’s safe to say Madeline is probably going to be the style world’s next "it girl," and we can’t wait to see what she accomplishes!YASSSSS MADELINE!! SLAY!
