An amputee who lost a leg to cancer now works as an ‘inspirational’ model for Burberry and H&M.
Iona Hay was scouted by Zebedee Management back in November, opening up the model life to the cancer survivor.
When the 18-year-old was only six in 2008, she suffered from osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer.
It led to her leg being amputated only a year after she lost her mum to brain cancer.
Despite the setback, the teenager is now modelling with some of the top fashion and high street brands, The Daily Record reported .
Luxury brand Burberry, high street giant H&M and footwear franchise Schuh have all snapped up Hay’s services.
The fashion student told the Record: "The shoots with all three brands were amazing, I had such a good time and it was brilliant learning how everything worked behind the scenes.
"I went to London for Burberry, Stockholm in Sweden for H&M then Schuh was closer to home in Bathgate, West Lothian.
"I love modelling now and can't wait to shoot other campaigns."
H&M's trainer shot is a teaser for their main campaign launch in April.
Meanwhile Iona's photos are already up on Burberry and Schuh's websites.
Having a prosthetic limb hasn't stopped Iona as she models footwear for each of the brands and she now hopes her glamorous part-time job will help 'inspire other young amputees'.
She added: "I hope other young people can look at the pictures and think they can do anything if they put their mind to it.
"I didn't have that growing up so it's nice to be that person for them.
"It's so important that big fashion brands show diversity I think it's brilliant bid brands are taking the lead."
Iona's cancer diagnosis came just one year after her mum, Fiona Dolan, tragically died of a brain tumour aged 36.
Fiona, an ophthalmologist, sadly passed away in December 2007 after being diagnosed with cancer in April that year.
Dad, 50, Steven wasn't quite sure what lay ahead when Iona first took the plunge and applied to Zebedee Talent -a specialist agency that signs less-represented talent including people with disabilities.
But nobody is more proud than Steven alongside her twin, Niamh, brothers Hamish, 23, and Peadar, 21, along with step-mother Gillian and eight-year-old twins René and Matilda.
A spokeswoman told the Record: "We love Iona's look, positive attitude, and just great vibe. We've always received the best feedback from clients from her work on set and she just photographs wonderfully.
"Iona's already booked jobs with huge fashion labels.
"To achieve this with us is incredible.
"We're really excited to see what's next for Iona. Iona has a timeless look that's highly sought after in the industry.
"We're hopeful that as more brands become more inclusive of disability that she'll be booking some huge jobs with us."
