Madeline Stewart, an 18-year-old Australian model with Down syndrome, first gained attention earlier this year when she posted stunning photos on Facebook.
Madeline and her mother Rosanna began receiving offers from international modeling agencies. Recently, the girl signed a contract that will allow her to participate in Fashion Week in New York (New York). The aspiring model is working with handbag brand EverMay and is preparing to become the face of a new line of bags from Friday. The new line will be named after Stewart.
Speaking to the Cosmopolitan website, Rosanna noted that her daughter's modeling career should change the perception of people with intellectual disabilities.
“When we were asked to take part in New York Fashion Week, it didn’t surprise me,” said Rosanna. “I think nothing will surprise me anymore. My daughter was offered a lot of things, and I hoped that she would be asked to participate in the Week. I I thought this would happen. I hope it doesn't sound too pretentious."
“It was great,” said Roseanne. “Jamie is a lovely young lady. She’s so outgoing, so
more sociable than Maddie. She's just beautiful. I don't think there are ugly people with Down syndrome. She is simply one of the most amazing individuals. Jamie was so excited to meet Maddie; The actress has been following Maddie on Twitter for months."
"One of the first people to follow Maddie on Twitter was supermodel Karlie Kloss. Isn't that amazing?" Roseanne added.
The model's mother said that Madeline passionately wanted to get into the world of beauty. The daughter worked hard to make her wish come true, while her mother did everything she could from a practical point of view to ensure that Madeline came out of the shadows. Rosanna is now confident that the world is ready to accept a new generation of models.
“I remember when I was a kid at school, people were homophobic and stuff like that,” said Rosanna. “But now it’s not shameful to be gay! Imagine how society will treat people with disabilities in 10 years. It won’t be the same.” , what is happening now. People with disabilities will be considered normal."
"Most likely, it will be cool to chat with someone who has the intelligence
personal disability, because, you know, such people care more about the emotional side of things than about material values. Everyone will want to become friends with such people in order to learn true love".
Rosanna thinks Instagram is a good place to start for Madeline. In this application, according to the model’s mother, people from new reality.
She said: “This is the next generation! These growing girls will never discriminate against anyone! I remember when Maddie was born, we went out on the street, and I heard insults from people saying that my daughter should be taken to an appropriate institution. That was 18 years ago!"
A modeling career made Madeline truly happy. Rosanna notes that her girl was able to show the world how easy it is to communicate with those who have intellectual disabilities. How easy it is to approach such a person and let him know that he is no different from you.
However, not everything is so colorful in the history of the Australian woman. In fact, not everyone speaks positively about her.
“In general, there aren’t many unkind messages on my daughter’s pages,” Rosanna explains. “If
If you go to other pages where people write about Madeline, then yes, there are a lot of people saying nasty things."
"Actually, Maddie's page has been one of the worst in the last week. People are complaining that she doesn't smile much. But the fact is, Maddie was on the runway last Sunday night, where she learned from other models who told her not to smile ! Now when she sees that she is being filmed, she immediately puts on a serious face!”
Gaining popularity, Stewart is now increasingly faced with being recognized on the street. Such attention is pleasant not only to her.
"Yesterday we were doing a shoot in Central Park and three girls from Australia came up to us to take a photo with Maddie," Roseanne said. "We went down to Muscle Beach (in California) and were going to take a photo with two big, beefy guys. One one of them said: “My God! You are the same famous model I saw on television. Shall we take a picture?’ It was amazing.”
Revealing details from her daughter's life, Rosanna notes that Madeline was seriously ill as a child. The girl’s heart defect has not disappeared. Still a deadly threat
carry defects in the septum of the heart and a malfunctioning valve.
"We'll do modeling as long as Madeline wants it," Roseanne said. "I can't imagine her quitting because she loved being the center of attention. She's becoming a professional. Madeline loves to make a big appearance; she loves to dance, loves performing. We'll just stick to it and see what happens!"
Revealing the secrets of the phenomenal interest in Madeline's person, Roseanne finally said: “Do you know why Maddie is so loved? Because she loves herself. Maddie truly loves herself. She can tell you how great she is. She can tell you how She is beautiful".
"Every day I tell her how amazing she is to me, and she believes it unconditionally. I will never allow anyone to take their negativity out on Madeline. She doesn't even understand what discrimination is. I won't let her face this. If you able to believe in yourself, you will keep your head up. That's why people love Madeline. She will walk into a room and not judge anyone. I would like to be more like my daughter in this."

completely stunned

They were completely stunned by their political correctness. The eyes are crowded, the mouth is open, drooling, and there is a model, a beauty.
Madeline Stuart suffers not only from Down syndrome, but also from endocarditis. But that didn't stop her from making her New York Fashion Week debut with sparkling boys on either side.
We wrote earlier that in New York (New York Fashion Week) in September, and now we have a debut! An 18-year-old Australian woman walked the runway at Grand Central Vanderbeet Hall as part of a showcase of international designers.
Before the show, Maddie’s mother said: “Madeline is very happy. It’s great that we have this opportunity to convey our beliefs about development.” May be, young model she is a woman of few words, but she has no problems working on the podium.
The audience applauded when the graceful red-haired girl paraded with two young men. The fashion show in a sparkling floor-length dress made everyone hold their breath.
But her final appearance caused frantic delight. Wearing a black T-shirt with the words "I Am NYFW" (I am New York Fashion Week), she called her mother Roseanne Stewart to the catwalk, hugged her and kissed her. “It was great,” Muddy said after the show, “I feel good!”
Madeline has always loved fashion and the fashion industry, and when her mom posted some photos of her from a photo shoot on Facebook, she became famous. Her glory follows her! She already has more than 500 thousand subscribers on Facebook, and she will continue her modeling career in Sweden and Russia.
Her mother, Rosanna, believes that people have become more open, so it became possible for her daughter to choose a career in modeling. “She worked hard for this! People with Down syndrome can achieve anything,” says Rosanna, “I would like to convey to people that a book cannot be judged by its cover. All you have to do is show love, acceptance and kindness. That's all we need. Of course, being a model is great, but it's just a way to convey a message. I think that's why Muddy did so well. It’s not about us, it’s about fighting for all those who are different from most people and need love and acceptance.”
Madeleine Stewart is an eighteen-year-old girl from Brisbane, Australia, who suffers from Down syndrome. At the same time, she follows her dream of becoming a model and does not take no for an answer.
Are modeling careers and Down syndrome compatible?
In fact, she has already managed to exceed all expectations, both her own and the public's as a whole. She hopes her success will have a major impact on the modeling industry, as well as the way society views people with Down syndrome. 
On his Facebook page, known all over the world social network, Madeline wrote that she decided to become a model because she believed that going out in public would allow her to gain recognition.
A look at people with disabilities
The girl's mother Rosanna said that her daughter suffered from excess weight in adolescence, but then gained confidence and lost weight through dancing, swimming and cheerleading over the past few years. Rosanna believes that it is high time for everyone to understand: people with Down syndrome can be attractive, beautiful, they are no worse than others and deserve the same attention and treatment. Rosanna also noted that times have changed a lot since Madeline was born. She remembers how narrow-minded people, when they saw her child in a stroller, told her that she shouldn’t be seen with him in public places. 
And although times in general have indeed changed, and opinions regarding people with mental or physical disabilities are no longer so critical, many still think that people with Down syndrome are practically a different species. But Roseanne claims that this is not true. She believes that people with this syndrome can do absolutely all the same things, but only at their own pace. Rosanna hopes for the success of her daughter's modeling project. She believes it will remind people to think big and not to underestimate those who suffer from the disease.
