Published on October 12, 2022

The world famous beauty brand Victorias Secret introduced Sofia Jirau, the first model with down syndrome. She is from Puerto Rico and it was a dream come true to work for the brand.

Victoria Secret engaged her in the new collection “The Love Cloud.”

The brand published a post with Sofia’s picture along the caption:

By age 25, Puerto Rican model, Sofia Jirau, has already conquered her ultimate dream: to model on the most important runways in the world. In 2019, Sofia launched the online store, Alavett, selling clothing, accessories, and home products. What did it mean to her to be featured in The Love Cloud Campaign? “It is a dream come true. I am happy to be able to show everyone that Sofia Jirau is going to shine around the world. I feel confident because fear is not in my vocabulary.”
