Model with Down syndrome stars in Gucci and Vogue advertising campaign
The young woman entered the modelling business in 2017.
18-year-old Ellie Goldstein, who was born with Down syndrome, became the first model with special needs to appear in an advertising campaign for Gucci and Vogue magazine. This is reported by BBC Ukraine.
The girl's parents consider it a stunning success, and industry experts speak of a breakthrough in diversity in the fashion industry. The photo of Ellie, which was published on Gucci's Instagram page, garnered about 800 thousand likes and hundreds of enthusiastic comments.
The girl also appeared in the online version of Vogue Italia as part of an advertising campaign for Gucci's mascara. Ellie herself said after the photo shoot: "I really like it. Thank you for this incredible opportunity and a wonderful day on set."
The young woman has been working in modelling since 2017. She chose the agency Zebedee Management, which considers increasing the representation of people excluded from the media space to be its main goal. The agency works with people with disabilities, people with facial differences and trans models.
