Since then, Francesca has taken part in a great number of further modeling contests, including one in which she was awarded the title of Top Junior Model, in addition to countless other incredible accomplishments.
Francesca is not the first model with Down syndrome who has been making a commotion in the fashion industry, but she is without a doubt one of the youngest ones to do so. Ever since Francesca decided to make a profession out of modeling, she has been defying the conventional notions that people have about what constitutes beauty in today’s culture. Continue reading to learn more about this remarkable young woman and to find out how her life has turned out thus far.
Her mother, Michelle, said that Francesca has been modeling ever since she was a little child in an interview with apost. Francesca is now 10 years old. Since then, she has made more than five appearances on the catwalk at various fashion shows, and as a result, she is now quite at ease in the character that she plays.
It all began when Michelle’s friend, who is the owner of a prominent modeling agency in Malta, convinced her to have Francesca participate in a fashion show. Francesca was one of the models. And despite her initial reservations, Michelle eventually persuaded Francesca to participate in a modeling competition.
“Another one of my friends asked me to take her to a modeling competition, and at first I was terrified,” she said to me. “[T]he event was for a very important cause.” “But I know Fran loves it, and I think it will be great for (Down syndrome) awareness.”
According to Michelle, “Everyone (recognizes) Francesca wherever we go, as she appears frequently on Maltese TV and social media.” Francesca is a celebrity in Malta. “So, whenever you are with Fran, you’ll need to give yourself more time because everyone will stop us in the streets, in restaurants, and wherever else we are.”
One of Francesca’s appearances was in a model fashion show in Malta that was arranged by Tiziana Randisi to encourage the inclusion of handicapped women in the world of fashion. Francesca was one of the models that participated in the event. The exhibition included 22 models, ranging in age from 4 to 24, who all had different types of disability. The objective was to demonstrate that these models are not restricted in any way, with the aim of changing the views of those who consider a handicap to be a limitation.
