Just 2 months ago, 19-year-old Madeline Stuart (the only model in the world who is excelling through the industry with down syndrome) gave The LA Fashion Magazine details about how she had been invited to walk in New York Fashion Week twice throughout her career as a model. During the time of that particular interview, Madeline Stuart had expressed how she hoped to be able to walk the runways of New York Fashion Week again one day. This September, Madeline was proud to announce that her hopes of being asked to return to New York Fashion Week did, in fact, come true. Madeline was invited back to walk for the third time in her career. This is a major milestone in Madeline’s career because it shows how she has really made an impact as far as inspiring others to work past challenges that may occur. At this year’s New York Fashion Week, Madeline Stuart walked for collections such as Bound by the Crown, House of Byfield and Rutu Bhonsle. Madeline also walked for Speechless Vulgarity and Vivienne Hue.

Madeline Stuart is extremely proud of where her career has taken her so far. She shared her evident excitement for being able to have the opportunity to walk in certain shows during New York Fashion Week for multiple years in a row. One of the reasons why Madeline enjoys being a part of New York Fashion Week so much is because of all of the positive feedback and warm energy that she receives.

“I love that everyone is so positive when I model, it tells me the world is becoming more inclusive. I can’t wait to come back and model in February next year. A lot of people recognize me now, they are always coming up to me and asking me for photos, which is really beautiful. This time when I went to NYFW, I felt like I really belonged. Everyone was so excited to see me again and treated me like a regular. I am getting a lot more offers for work which is great and I look forward to being around for a lot longer.”

Besides evolving within her career as a model and fashion icon, Madeline Stuart is currently working on a project that is fairly new to her but, at the same time, is extremely important to her as far as her hopes of further inspiring those who look up to her as a role model. Last year, Madeline was approached by Jane Magnussen, an award-winning documentarian from Sweden, to have a documentary filmed about her modeling career and about her life in general. Madeline will be working on this documentary for the remainder of this year as well as some of next year. Once the film is finished, it will be released around the world to help further promote inclusion and diversity throughout the industry.
