In recent years, we have seen fashion companies move away from what used to be their typical model – a skinny white woman – and move towards more diverse models to match their audience. While we have celebrated this, we still see groups of people who are underrepresented, one them being those with disabilities.
Recently, Victoria’s Secret featured their first model with Down syndrome, and now another brand is celebrating a milestone with the launch of their baby collection.
Banana Republic has included a baby boy with Down syndrome in their latest campaign.
“The BR Baby collection recently launched by Banana Republic was designed with a promise to be more sustainable, more welcoming, and more inclusive,” the company said in a statement, per FOX 5 NY.
