A girl with Down's syndrome has captured thousands of hearts on the internet with her dream of becoming a model.
Four-year-old Francesca Rausi rose to fame in November last year when she strutted her stuff on the runway during a fashion show for disabled models in Malta.
Listen to Francesca's adorable singing below:The adorable youngster did so alongside Australian model Madeline Stuart, 23, who is the world's first catwalk model with Down's syndrome. The pair are pictured below.
Madeline has been hailed a revolutionary in the modeling industry because of her willingness to challenge traditional beauty standards, and Francesca's mother, Michelle, believes that she's more than capable of the job too.
In an interview with the Metro, Michelle said: "Francesca has been modeling since she was very young. She loves it and was the first toddler in Malta to take part in a modeling competition and won the junior top model."
Michelle said her daughter loves to model and is "very comfortable on the catwalk", so much so that when she appeared alongside Madeline in November 2019, it was her 50th time on the runway!
Michelle added: "I feel very emotional watching her because I see the happiness in her eyes. It's out of this world."
Charity organizer Tiziana Randisi established the Malta fashion show in 2018 in a bid to create more inclusion between people with different disabilities.
Last year's show featured 22 incredible models who ranged in age from four to 24 years old.
She said: "Our goal is to create a real inclusion, trying to involve all the different disabilities by breaking down the mental barriers of those who see disability as a limit. Instead, we see it and live as a resource and a wealth to share."
Francesca's life as an aspiring model is now being documented on Instagram, and at the time of writing, the adorable girl has garnered over 4K followers (but we're sure more are on the way).
