Aimee Mullins (model)

Aimee Mullins modeled on the catwalk in McQueen's 1998 collection. She is well known as a Paralympian and McQueen used her on his catwalk show to model garments. When I first saw the image below I thought that this was a touched up photograph not realising that her legs were wooden carved prosthetic legs. I think that she looks doll like and interesting in this image. I know if I had this disability I would not have the confidence to pose for a camera. I feel that McQueen is breaking bounderies by using disabled models to promote his collections. EQUALITY.
This poses the question should bounderies be taken away for all in order for us to progress into a more equal society?
