Model Naomi Shimada meets Sin\\xe9ad Burke, the former teacher now schooling the fashion industry on designing and marketing for people with disabilities.

In 2019 Sin\\xe9ad became the first self-described \\u2018little person\\u2019 to attend the annual Met Gala fashion fundraiser and feature on the cover of Vogue. But when will the industry move beyond such milestones to become truly representative and inclusive?

Fashion blogger and teacher, turned campaigner, consultant and author, Sin\\xe9ad Burke is now educating children and chief executives alike. By working to fix fashion to represent people of all shapes and sizes, she\\u2019s also expanding the very idea of beauty.
