New York Fashion Week 'American Horror Story' Star Walks Runway: Jamie Brewer Becomes First Down Syndrome Model to Strut Catwalk

American Horror Story: Freak Show might have had its curtain call earlier this year, but one star is still riding high on the success of the show. Jamie Brewer, who played Margery on the latest installment of the FX horror series, is ready for her close-up as she got the chance to strut her stuff down the runway at New York Fashion Week earlier today, Feb. 12. The star agreed to be a model for Carrie Hammer's brand, and she hopes her fashion debut will inspire young girls and women to be true to who they are. And what an inspiration Brewer is. Not only did she take part in the "Role Models Not Runway Models" campaign for Hammer, but she was also the first woman with Down syndrome to walk on the runway.

The 30-year-old star spoke to Today, about how amazing it feels to have this kind of platform and how grateful she is to be involved with Carrie Hammer.

"Young girls and even young women ... [see me] and say, 'Hey, if she can do it so can I,'" the star explained of what inspired her to walk in the show. "It's a true inspiration being a role model for any young women to [encourage them] in being who they are and showing who they are."

According to Us Weekly, Hammer launched the campaign in 2014 as a way to show the fashion world who the consumers are who are buying her designs, including "business minds, nonprofit workers, brilliant researchers and more woman who simply inspire her."

Way to go, Jamie!
