An application for a modeling job from a young man who has Down syndrome was ultimately rejected by a clothes company.
The era in which we live is one in which advertising and commercials are beginning to alter and more accurately reflect society as a whole. This is something that has not always been the case.
It has come to our attention that certain fashion brands have started utilizing older models in their advertising campaigns, while others have stopped the practice of digitally changing images of models. This is something that we found really interesting.
Having said that, we still have a substantial way to travel before reaching our destination.
Because just recently at the children’s clothing firm Oshkosh B’Gosh, when a devoted mother put in images of her kid, the management was not at all interested in utilizing him as a model. This is due to the fact that just recently at Oshkosh B’Gosh.
What is the root of the problem? The small boy has Down syndrome and needs special care.
Within the United States, Meagan Nash and her family have settled down in the state of Georgia as their permanent residence.
Meagan became excited and sent in images of her son Asher, who was 15 months old at the time, as soon as the children’s clothing business Oshkosh B’Gosh announced lately that they were searching for models.
The job that the company was trying to fill was a good fit for the child who was applying for it. He was the appropriate height, had the appropriate hair color, and even had the appropriate eye color. It seemed like nothing about him wasn’t quite right.
Meagan did not receive any additional information after she had submitted images of her son, although this was after she had already sent in the photographs.
Meagan contacted representatives from the company, and they informed her that they would not be interested in using Asher in their upcoming ad because they did not want “a baby with special needs” to be featured in it.
“Did they state that they weren’t going to cast a baby that needed special care?” “No, they didn’t mention that.” The report from The Independent claims that the mother retaliated against her son.
Meagan was furious and aggravated with herself for her behavior.
She might have been able to comprehend that not every child gets the opportunity to be a model, but to deny that possibility to her own son simply because he has an extra chromosome? That shows a lack of compassion and understanding on her part.
Meagan came to the conclusion that she needed to take action since she was disappointed that the company had not given the matter more thought and was unaware of how much value Asher could have brought to them. Meagan took the decision to take action.
She uploaded images of her son Asher, who has Down syndrome, to a Facebook page titled “Kids with Down’s syndrome.”
It didn’t take long for the images that Photographer Crystal Barbee took of the exceedingly charming Ashley while she was dressed in a blue denim shirt and a bow tie to become a popular item.
Meagan wrote the following letter and mailed it to the company that had declined her son’s employment application:
Let’s get the word out about Asher and see if we can’t make a difference, shall we?
This dashing young man is all set to show the world what “Changing the Face of Beauty” is all about by preparing himself and getting ready to give his presentation.
As of the time that this story was written, there have been more than one hundred thousand people on Facebook who have expressed approval of Asher’s images.
Megean stated in the article that she was attempting to get Oshkosh to include her kid in their commercials by working with an organization called Changing the Face of Beauty. She also underlined that it was an agency, not the clothing firm, that had rejected her son for the part, and she made it obvious that she was attempting to get Oshkosh to employ her son. She also emphasized that she was trying to persuade Oshkosh to use her son.
Please make sure that Asher is able to view these pictures by sending them to him if you concur with me that he is a very gorgeous boy and that he would make a great model for any kid’s clothes brand. Thank you in advance!
