Actress Jamie Brewer, known for her work on American
Horror Story, became the first model with Down syndrome to ever
walk at New York Fashion Week.
“It exceeded all of my expectations,” Hammer said to
TIME. “What I love about our shows everyone is smiling, everyone is having a
good time.”
One of the models included Danielle Sheypuk, who became the first-ever model in a
wheelchair to appear at New York Fashion Week. “We were never trying to make a
statement,” Hammer says. “We don’t think of [Sheypuk] as being in a wheelchair.
We don’t define her that way … but it went really viral. We got hundreds of emails
for girls and their moms thanking us’’
