The media is amazing (in the grossest way) at feeding us what they want us to see and hear. For decades now, models that grace the runway or take the fashion world by storm are usually wafer thin, abnormally tall, and far from the ‘normal’ body type or look.

From babies to kids and high-end cosmetics to runway models, more and more people with Down syndrome are getting the representation they deserve. And how wonderful it is to see!

Here are 30 models with Down syndrome that are taking the fashion world by storm.

They are so beautiful!
