After being alerted to Goldstein's work by Ms Matthews's sister, Beth's family looked into the prospect of her doing some modelling, just to see how she would get on.Beth's cousin and aunt suggested she try modelling after seeing the work of Ellie Goldstein, who has modelled for Gucci and other brands
The agency was started five years ago, with the aim of increasing the representation of people with disabilities as well as those with physical differences and trans and non-binary people.Beth has always enjoyed dressing up "People are becoming aware of that and are starting to change. Our goal is to make sure that all media forms are representing the population. There's still a long way to go."The condition causes some level of learning disability, but most people with Down's syndrome live long, healthy lives and achieve typical life goals, with an increasing number in work and living semi-independently.
"I think we've had our moments like any parents with a small child, toddlers, but on the whole, Beth has always exceeded expectations, we haven't put any barriers up to her learning and you can see her today, she's just turned out to be a wonderful young lady."So, could Beth follow in Ellie Goldstein's footsteps and get a big break? Zebedee thinks so.
Beth has already done some modelling for a bridal company, and said she was excited about doing more.She added the ultimate aim of her modelling career was to "be more confident", but she has also set her sights on Hollywood.Beth said she was looking forward to doing more photoshoots and becoming more confident
