Stuart, the 23-year-old, Australian model has been previously credited for proving society’s perception of wrong beauty. She also walked at the New York Fashion week and got the opportunity to meet some of the biggest Hollywood's stars.

Francesca's mother Michelle, got the inspiration from Stuart, and started hoping that her girl Rausi will be as successful as Michelle and becomes a professional model. Admiring her amazing daughters talents, Michelle continued how Francesca can perform just as well as other kids and that her blooming modeling career could help to raise awareness about Down Syndrome. "Francesca has been modeling since she was very young," she said in the interview with Metro. "She loves it and was the first toddler in Malta to take part in a modeling competition and won junior top model."

Moreover, she shared that Francesca is is feeling very comfortable and confident during the catwalk. Her latest appearance was also not the first time! She already walked runaway four times before. "I feel very emotional watching her because I see the happiness in her eyes. It’s out of this world," said Michelle. Everything started by Charity organizer Tiziana Randisi. They came with this idea last year - idea to challenge the prevalent thought about the limitations of people with disabilities.

22 models between the ages of four and 24 was attending that show. "Our goal is to create a real inclusion, trying to involve all the different disabilities by breaking down the mental barriers of those who see disability as a limit," said Randisi. "Instead, we see it and live as a resource and wealth to share."
