Ellie Goldstein has smashed another barrier for people with disabilities. The model, who was born with Down syndrome, has landed herself on the digital cover of Allure magazine.
The cover is part of the magazine’s new series titled The Beauty of Accessibility, where it explores inclusivity and representation for people with disabilities in the beauty industry.
The front photo shows Goldstein rocking blue eyeshadow and glossy lips. The accompanying photoshoot sees her donning dreamy looks and playful clothes, including a Christopher Kane dress and an oversized black bow.
In the interview, Goldstein shares about her history-making campaign for Gucci Beauty. “When I saw [my picture] on Gucci Beauty’s Instagram, I though ‘Wow! Who is this? Is this me, or what?! My friends and family saw it. It felt very special to me,” she relates.
Goldstein has also set more big goals for herself. “10 years from now, I want to be all over the world,” she tells the publication.
