New York Fashion Week is in full swing, and Daisy-May Demetre just made a big debut that will stand the test of time.

Demetre is a 9-year-old double-amputee model who walked on the runway during the Lulu et Gigi show on Sunday.

"History in the making first child double amputee to walk New York fashion week," she wrote in a caption on Instagram.

Since posting a look from the show on Instagram, many people have chimed in, cheering her on with comments expressing how beautiful and inspirational she is.

This isn't Demetre's first time dominating the catwalk. In April, she walked at a show during London Kids Fashion Week, even doing a cartwheel while fans continued to applaud her strut.

"I am Daisy I am Fearless. Doing her own thing on the runway," she wrote in a caption alongside a video of her posted on Instagram.
