Aaron Philip is the new face of Moschino.
The Black, physically disabled, transgender model – who’s been making waves in the industry ever since being signed by Elite Model Management in 2018 – will front the brand’s Autumn/Winter ’20 campaign.
19-year-old Philip, who was born with cerebral palsy, has previousy appeared in the pages of both US and British Vogue, as well as Miley Cyrus’s ‘Mother’s Daughter’ music video last year.
Moschino marks her first major high fashion campaign.
Announcing the news on Instagram, Philip wrote: “I’ve been too shell shocked to try and say anything prolific, but this is SUCH A BIG DEAL BEING A PHYSICALLY DISABLED PERSON/MODEL IN A CAMPAIGN LIKE THIS.”
She added: “I really am so so very happy & I hope the community is too! This is the start! More REAL space for us!”
