For a third year, Honolulu model Shaholly Ayers is being featured in Nordstrom’s national anniversary catalog.

Ayers, who was born missing her right arm below the elbow, is brand ambassador for Global Disability Inclusion, a company that specializes in creating global visibility and opportunities for individuals with disabilities.

In addition to walking international runways, she has appeared on the pages of GQ Italia, GQ Japan, The New York Times and other publications. She is co-founder of Limbs for Love, an organization that helps at-risk youth overcome adversity.

“Reflecting the customers we serve in our ads and catalogs is important to us and we continue to look for more opportunities to do that,” Nordstrom Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Scott Meden said in a news release.

During its anniversary sale, through Aug. 6, Nordstrom is offering more than 300 “Beauty Exclusives.” To see the beauty deals, visit shop.nordstrom.com/c/rewards.
