My Interview With Madeline Stuart.
Name: Madeline Stuart
Age: 19
What disability do you have?
Down Syndrome
How does your disability affect your daily life?
I am reliant on my mum for a lot of things.
I need her to take me to places as I can’t drive and we have no public transport where I live.
When and why did you decide to become a model?
In August 2014 I went to a fashion parade and decided that is what I wanted to do.
What agency do you work for?
I don’t have an agency, I wish I did.
How did you feel at your very first photo shoot?
Like a princess, I love doing photoshoots.
Have you met any celebrities through your work?
A few but we are just all people, some of us are just more well known.
Are your family and friends supportive of your career?
My mum and my friends are supportive, there has been a few that were not but I have to live my life how I want to.
What are your thoughts on the "size 0" debate within the model industry?
I am a size 0 so I fall within that scale.
I do think it silly that we usually only portray one sort of individual on the runway as that is like reading a fairy tale. It does not reflect real life.
Can you share any beauty tips with me? Don’t wear to much makeup, try to be as natural as possible
What advice would you give someone wanting to be a model?
Believe in yourself and be true to yourself.
Finally, don't let anyone ever put you down or tell you that you can't do something.
Disability or not, the World we live in has many doors to open with many wonderful and exciting opportunities along the way.
