His name is Patrick, even if his mother calls him Roscòn, he is eleven years old and he is the first model with Down syndrome who poses for the famous brand Zara. Together with his brother Diego he is, in fact, testimonial of the new advertising campaign of the summer children's collection.
Sunny and smiling, the two brothers pose with a blue and white striped T-shirt and together they send a beautiful message, we are all the same but different. It is certainly not the first time that fashion has moved away from stereotypes and old models, the forerunner was the model and stylist Madeline who challenged the catwalk and after her many beautiful stories of inclusion.
But this is Patrick's first worldwide campaign. The boy is one of the four children of chef Samantha Vallejo Nágera, who is also one of the judges of the Spanish edition of Masterchef and who has always fought for inclusion, fighting against all forms of discrimination.
“When your son is the first model with Down syndrome on the Zara website, you have great joy for what it means,” writes Samantha Vallejo-Nagera on Instagram.

The mother, who has always been committed to supporting associations that deal with the protection of people with Down syndrome, thanked the brand on social media.
“With these photos Patrick has helped many children who are in his situation,” says Samantha Vallejo Nágera.
