Hi everyone! I just quickly wanted to share a news story that made me smile this week — Ellie Goldstein has become the first model with Down’s syndrome to be on the cover of Vogue! Ellie is also a part of Mencap’s Mythbusters campaign and it’s absolutely brilliant to see her thrive, as well as open doors for more representation of disability in the fashion world.

I’ve linked her interview for those interested. What do you all think?

It's wonderful isn't it. My son Stanley Galton is also in this same issue of Vogue!! He's part of an art collective called Intoart who have a design studio called Trifle Studio. All the artists and designers have learning disabilities. I am so proud I could go pop!
