A woman who was labelled 'too fat to model' now makes a fortune by embracing her curves. Iskra Lawrence, 32, says she starved herself to try and fit into the modelling industry but hit the jackpot when she accepted her body.
The Worcestershire-born model was signed by a casting agency at the age of 15 and stepped into the fashion world. However, she initially struggled to survive in the industry, which proved to be extremely brutal.
The Daily Star reports that the model tried to starve herself as a teen in an attempt to slim down to industry standard. However, after failing to fit in, Iskra decided to embrace her natural curves and is now one of the most successful models in the world.
