Stuart is an Australian aspiring model who suffers from Down Syndrome, and has also had weight issues in the past. She hasn't been signed yet, but her main source of fandom (her Facebook page, where supporters frequently verbalize their awe in Stuart's dreams) has proven noticeable to the Living Dead label, which prides itself on signing models of diverse body types. The model used to struggle with her weight, but has lost 40 pounds and gained confidence. Madeline is down to an American size 2, thanks to gymnastics, basketball, swimming, dancing, and cheerleading. People with Down syndrome can do anything, they just do it at their own pace. Give them a chance and you will be rewarded beyond your greatest expectations Maddy Stuart might just be a name you want to watch out for in the fashion industry this year.
I love Stephen King and music festivals; I eat my toast upside down; I daydream about getting married probably a bit too much; and I wish every day for a pet sausage dog puppy (who never materialises – sob).
