The modern fashion industry does not hide its cruel approach to selecting the best representatives for podiums and glossy covers.
And even if you possess those most cherished parameters 90-60-90, you can be rejected only because it is lower by 1 cm tall or older by 1 year than it is supposed to ...
And these young ruthless stereotypes decided to challenge the young girl, whose growth was a bit over the mark of 1 meter!
Meet is Drew Presta, and she intends to change the fashion industry once and for all!
21 years ago she was born with the diagnosis of "achondroplasia" - a form of dwarfism, in which the limbs remain underdeveloped.
All that the girl heard in her address in her hometown of Reno (Nevada, USA), at best were ridicule, well, at worst - real mockery.
And you think Drew broke it? But no - this little girl just packed things, two years ago she moved to Los Angeles, and even decided to become a model!
"In my family, I am the only child with such a genetic disease," the girl confesses. "How much my family could protect me from others, they did it. But it was scary and painful to watch their own blood turn into an outcast. Therefore, I decided to take a step towards a freer life for everyone ... "
But for the first time in the new city, Drew felt like an outcast even more. In none of the shops she was able to find suitable clothes for herself, and to put something on herself, she had to sew or completely change everything.
As you understand, the speech about how to feel beautiful, in this case, did not go at all!
This is what prompted the girl to go into the modeling business, to express herself and help the same, not to feel rejected and alone in this world.
And you know what? Fashion world opened its doors for her!
"I want my photos to show that you can feel sexy and superfood in any size - let you grow to two meters or less than one. In a word, I want everyone to be accepted in the fashion world! "
And today Drew Presta has proved that the main thing for achieving a dream is to act. The girl no longer hesitates to go shopping and with pleasure wears everything she likes.
And she does not have a hiatus from the fashion shootings, and subscribers to Instagram are about to pass for 20 thousand. And is this not a success?
