It doesn’t matter who we are, we are all going to face challenges in life. Of course, there different variations of challenges that we may face, with some experiencing mild issues that are easy to overcome and others facing issues that last for a lifetime. When we face those issues, whether large or small, it’s important for us to stand up to the test and to come off victorious. It isn’t always going to be easy but when we see it happening with someone else in their life, it is something that can inspire us to take strides in our own lives.
One person that can certainly inspire you to do great things is an 18-year-old girl with Down syndrome named Ellie Goldstein. She lives in Essex, UK but she isn’t just a girl with down syndrome, she is one of the more famous Gucci models in the world. Since she has been working with Gucci, she has been posting pictures on Instagram and one of them has even achieved more than 800,000 likes! You see, she was able to overcome her issue with down syndrome and to do something very special with her life.
Ellie became part of the Gucci Beauty Glitch Campaign and even was able to participate in the Gucci Beauty and Photo Vogue Festival. The company started looking for a new model in 2019 and Ellie was exactly what they were looking for. It was officially launched in June 2020, focusing on the L’Obscur mascara.
Ellie has always had a dream of being a model and now she is making a big splash in the fashion industry. She is being represented by the Zebedee Management agency, which helps many models who have special needs. They say: “Our models are beautiful! No ifs, no buts, no excuses. Talent and beauty don’t care how many legs you have or what condition you were born with.”
“As a specialist modeling agency, we’re passionate about redefining the perfection of beauty, disability and diversity”.
The agency is making amazing things happen for people right now.
Ellie is just one great example of what the modeling agency has been able to do. She is not only on the radar of Gucci, she has been interviewed for magazines and TV multiple times and was even on the cover of GLAMOUR.
Allie’s family are very supportive of what their daughter has done.“We’re all incredibly proud of Ellie and all the lovely comments she has had on Gucci’s Instagram,” her mom, Yvonne, told Channel5 News.
“She has always loved being in the limelight and in front of the camera, she’s very confident and good at taking direction”.
Ellie also loves her job. Who wouldn’t?
