Jirau has been in modeling since 2019. At the same time, she also owns an online store with clothes, accessories and trinkets for the Alavett apartment, which is a Spanish-English pun created from the phrase “I love it”. In February 2020, she became one of the few models with Down Syndrome to ever participate in the famous New York Fashion Week.
As Jirau herself emphasizes on her social networks, her goal is to “encourage others to follow their dreams.” “I always say that there are no restrictions. I try to motivate people to break the limits that they have set themselves, “she says on her website.
Down syndrome is a genetic disorder that is usually associated with delayed physical growth, mild to moderate mental retardation, and facial features. The average intelligence quotient of an adult with Down syndrome is around 50, which corresponds to the mental abilities of a nine-year-old child. However, this is not the rule.
