Schoolgirl, 9, with Down's Syndrome lands dream modelling job with Burberry

A nine-year-old schoolgirl with Down's Syndrome has become the latest face of luxury fashion brand Burberry after landing a dream modelling job that sees her appear in the company's spring/summer 2022 collection.

Roni Littman, 9, is far from camera shy and has already modelled for the likes of River Island, Asda George, and TK Maxx - but her latest career move marks the first time she has appeared in a collection for a high-end designer.
