Ellie was one of five covers stars for the most recent issue of British Vogue, it was announced last week.
The latest edition features 19 disabled individuals from the fashion, sports, and arts industries.
Ellie, who has Down syndrome, has been modeling for five years and has landed significant advertisements with companies like Gucci and ASOS.
She says she wanted to be a “role example for those in the industry” and that she was “honored” to be asked to be in the Vogue edition.
“It was my dream,” she claims. I’m on it right now.
And it was elegant. Even my clothing looked stunning. I adored it, she declares.
Ellie claims she “never” could have pictured herself on the cover of Vogue.
When it was revealed on social media last week, she saw it at the exact same time as the general public.
On that particular day, Ellie was at college, anxiously awaiting the important announcement.
“Then I noticed it. She says, “I was like, oh my God.
After that, I sobbed for about two minutes.
Ellie has also been selected as the UK representative for a Barbie doll that is inclusive and modeled on someone with Down syndrome.
She still hasn’t achieved all of her goals, though, and as she looks to the future, she hopes to walk the runway during New York Fashion Week.
