14-year-old doesn't let Down Syndrome come in the way of her modeling dreams

UPDATED JAN 29, 2019

A 14-year-old girl with Down Syndrome has become the inspiration for thousands across the world after taking the Brazilian fashion industry by storm.

Teenager Georgia Traebert has been signed by at least five different agencies ever since scouts spotted her "inspirational" photographs on social media. 

Apart from modeling for many big brands in Brazil, Traebert has also acted in a couple of TV adverts.

The young girl started garnering attention when her mother Rubia shared her picture on social media to help boost her confidence. Georgia's mother had quit her job to care for her full time after she was diagnosed with Down Syndrome after birth and also a heart defect.
