On the one hand, I think this is a good idea, because it forces people to look at something that is usually ignored. On the other hand, it's still telling people that women can only look a certain way; these women's disabilities will be incorporated into that look.
As I've mentioned before, I am trying hard to help my son learn that beauty comprises so much more than mere surface symmetry and ability to go without food. I'd like to see more men and women of various sizes, shapes, ages, abilities, and colors presented to the world as 'beautiful.' However, as an American, I an acutely aware that money has the first, last and all words in between, so I'd not holding my breath.

Tall, slim and with flowing locks, Lara Masters modelled in her teens. But the work dried up as she developed a degenerative nerve condition. So is the fashion world ready for its first big disabled model?
The fashion industry has a very precise, exacting and unwavering view of beauty: a model must be tall, extremely slim and physically "flawless". It's a code of understanding which has ruled me out of modelling even though I am 5ft 9ins, size 6 and, if you'll excuse my immodesty, beautiful.
