The worldwide phenomenon and inspiration is a powerful advocate for inclusiveness and diversity in modelling.
Madeline said her visit to Crescent Head reminded her of how lucky she is to live in Australia.
“The ocean lapping against my ankles and the sand beneath my toes, it still amazes me how amazing this world really is and how lucky we are to experience it. We just need to stop a moment to see it,” she said.
Madeline is from Brisbane and after watching a fashion show in 2015 she told her mum she wanted to be a model. Since then, Madeline has become a model, dancer, actor and inspiration for people all over the world who don’t fit within the confines of socially constructed stereotypes.
She has modelled on catwalks and appeared in many popular fashion magazines in Australia and internationally.

“She is giving hope to people all over the world who don’t fit the traditional mould of what is popular, showing them that anyone can achieve their dreams,” Alicia said in a statement to the Argus.
