It may look as if this article will be about clothes but it is, in fact, about so much more than just that. Teen Vogue has recently hired models, Chelsea Werner, Jillian Mercado, and Mama Cax to be “The New Faces of Fashion” and these three young women will be providing the representation and inspiration that many young kids need.

Chelsea, Jillian and Mama all have one major thing in common that makes them so revolutionary and that is that they are all models who happen to have disabilities. Chelsea has Down’s Syndrome, Jillian has Spastic Muscular Dystrophy, and Mama is a leg amputee; yet, all three of them were able to achieve their goals despite their “disabilities”. This is incredibly important to all the young boys and girls to show and inspire them that even with a physical and/or mental ailment, they can overcome and achieve.

The clothing line Aeries released a line, #aerieREAL, which is basically all about body positivity and having models who don’t usually fit the “right body” of a model, model the clothes but as important as that concept is, having women with physical impairments model for a major fashion company is a huge deal since about 15 percent of the world’s population, which is equivalent to about 785 million people have a significant physical or mental disability and 5 percent of children, which is about 376 million kids, according to the World Health Organization and the World Bank.

While other fashion lines are staying in the basic and cliche lane of having size 0 models who look like society’s ideal woman, other lines are stepping out of the box and doing what is necessary for the world to see that all is beautiful despite size, physical appearance, disability or anything in between. Standing out to give the representation that many kids and people in general need is more important than staying confined to a stereotype.
