American Girl Catalog Features Girl with Down Syndrome
When the October American Girl catalog launched, fans saw little Ivy Kimble in its pages just like any other model, wearing a sparkly red dress as she held her baby doll close.“It’s a big deal for her,” her mom Kristin Kimble told WLS-TV. “There’s not a lot of print or media with a lot of kids with Down syndrome.”
Kristin, who is based in Chicago, said Ivy booking the ad was not only exciting for her family — which includes three other daughters — but for anyone with a disability not used to seeing themselves in the media. Ivy’s modeling shots have already opened up conversations about Down syndrome — something Kristin said she hopes will continue as a means of normalizing disability.
Other models like Ivy who have Down syndrome have made headlines in recent months for taking part in New York Fashion Week, like Spanish model Marian Avila and Australian model Madeline Stuart.
