An Edinburgh BA Fashion Design student signed with Zebedee Management modelling agency in November and now models for several top fashion brands and high-street giants.
Iona Hay, who moved to Edinburgh in September to pursue her dream of designing clothes with amputees in mind, can not yet reveal the companies she models for but teases that the brands are well-known.

The 18-year-old was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer, in 2008 and had to have her leg amputated at the age of just six.
With her rapidly developing modelling career, Iona hopes to show other amputees 'the beauty in their prosthetic limbs' and why 'it's important to be confident', the Daily Record reports.
The fashion student said: "The past few weeks have been incredible and a total whirlwind.
"I have to pinch myself and often think, 'this can't be real', it's crazy.
"Inclusivity is so key in the fashion industry just now, we need to see everyone being represented and I'm so happy to be a part of that."
Pushing boundaries is part of the course for brave Iona, who's excelled in gymnastics, skiing and philanthropy since having her leg amputated.
Her cancer diagnosis came just one year after her mum, Fiona Dolan, died of a brain tumour aged 36.
Fiona, an ophthalmologist, tragically passed away in December 2007 after being diagnosed with cancer in April that year.
Nobody is more proud of Iona than her family; dad Steven, 50, her twin, Niamh, brothers Hamish, 23, and Peadar, 21, along with step-mother Gillian and eight-year-old twins René and Matilda.
Iona admits dad Steven wasn't quite sure what lay ahead when she first took the plunge and applied to Zebedee; a specialist agency that signs less-represented talent, including people with disabilities.
"My parents told me to go for it when I applied back in August," Iona added.
"But I don't think they knew what would be involved.
"Now they're just really supportive and always back anything I do."
In September, Iona moved to Edinburgh to study BA in Fashion Design and says she wants to create clothes with amputees in mind.
"Designing for those who have prosthetic limbs is so important to me," she said.
"I want everyone to be represented if I were to become a fashion designer, that's the dream.
"Modelling has given me an amazing insight into behind the scenes.
"I want to show that you can achieve with prosthetic limbs, I didn't have that representation in the media growing up.
"The experience has been insane so far, and I hope it inspires others."
