About me
I’m an inspirational and cheeky model and I love being on the camera. I want to show the world that people with a learning disability are all equals and can live their best lives.
Myth to bust: “People with a learning disability can't be successful fashion models; just look at me”

International model and Mencap
Myth
A myth is an idea about something that is not true.
Buster Ellie Goldstein has made fashion history as the first British Vogue cover model with Down's Syndrome. In this inspiring
interview
An interview is a meeting where you talk to someone or a group of people about something. When you have an interview for a job, you have to answer questions and say why you would be good at the job. The person who gives the best answers is offered the job.
to accompany her cover, Ellie talks about being a role model, life in fashion, and the importance of always being yourself. Photo: @_AdamaJalloh
