Hear Me, See Me. Podcast. Stacy Paris, Scientist, Disability ambassador.
Stacy who lost both her legs to a deadly flesh-eating bug has become the first double amputee in Europe to appear on the catwalk.
Stacy Paris, 31, had her left leg amputated in 2009 after contracting necrotising fasciitis on a holiday in France.
And when the infection returned for a second time five years later she lost her remaining leg.
Now though she has overcome the odds to forge a name for herself in the fashion industry - after increasing the length of her prosthetic limbs by three inches.
Stacy, from Bridge of Allan in Stirlingshire, Scotland, said: "I used to look at fashion and nobody represented me.
"After coming out of hospital, I've slimmed down a bit from a size 10 but that was my choice.
"Then I looked at models and they are all quite tall, so I got my prosthetics changed from five foot six inches to five foot nine inches.
"Modelling was never something I wanted to do but then a couple of years passed and I did a couple of fashion shows and now I'm the only double amputee model in the UK.”
