Daisy Makes History as the First Double-Amputee Child to Walk in both New York and Paris Fashion Weeks
By Ellise Hollie-Haywood, Disabilities Editor
Daisy is 14 years old and lives life with confidence, strength, and a cheeky smile that’s never far away.
She’s outgoing, driven, and has always loved being in front of a camera—whether it’s for fashion, media, or just for fun.
But she was born with a condition called fibular hemimelia - which meant both her lower legs didn’t develop properly,
Daisy had both legs amputated below the knee as a baby and has worn prosthetics ever since.
From an early age, she adapted quickly and never saw her disability as a barrier—just a part of who she is.
If anything, her disability has made her more determined. It’s given her strength and resilience well beyond her years.
There have been challenges, but Daisy has always chosen to face them head-on. She doesn’t want sympathy; she just wants opportunities—and she grabs them with both hands.
Daisy made history as the first double-amputee child to walk in both New York and Paris Fashion Weeks.
She’s modelled for major brands including Nike, River Island, and Matalan.
She’s also completed the Spetsathlon 5K in Greece and was named ‘Child of Courage’ at the Pride of Birmingham Awards.
