Iskra Arabella Lawrence (born 11 September 1990) is a British model.

Early life and education

Lawrence was born on 11 September 1990 in Wolverhampton and grew up in Kidderminster, Worcestershire from the age of 6 weeks.[3] Lawrence attended Holy Trinity School, Kidderminster, Malvern St James[4] and then Bromsgrove School,[5] was a competitive national swimmer,[6] and was accepted into the UK National Youth Theatre[7] at 15. Her name means 'spark' in most Slavic languages.

Career

Modelling

Lawrence was the Global Role Model & a model for the lingerie line brand Aerie,[8][9][10][11] a brand of intimate apparel from American Eagle Outfitters from 2014-2021 when she announced her departure via an Instagram on her feed.

She has also modeled for the lingerie line brand Adore Me.[12]

After 13 years of modeling Lawrence completed her catwalk debut at New York Fashion Week[13] for Chromat in 2016, and walked in L'Oréal's first fashion show at Paris Fashion week in October 2017.[14]

American Eagle Outfitters chose Lawrence along with five other millennials for their Fall 2017 jean campaign "The New American Jean",[15] which makes use of unretouched images.[16][17]

In 2018, Lawrence was announced as a brand ambassador for Marina Rinaldi's Persona collection campaign.

In 2024, Iskra Lawrence was photographed as she walked in Cupshe's runway show during Miami Swim Week, as reported by People. Lawrence wore two different looks as she strutted down the catwalk — one featuring a white floral one-piece with ruffles on the shoulder.

Activism and charitable work

Lawrence is a National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) brand ambassador[18] and creator of the NEDA Inspires Award.[19][20]

Lawrence does not retouch her own images that she posts on social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook.[21] She actively criticizes "body shamers",[22] including one user that she confronted in April 2016 on her Instagram account after the user insulted her.[23][24] She does not want to be classified as a plus-sized model.[25]

In 2017, Lawrence appeared in the Straight Curve documentary[26] "about body image and the industry leaders challenging society's unrealistic and dangerous standards of beauty".[27]

In February 2017, Lawrence presented "Ending the pursuit of perfection" at TEDxUniversityofNevada.[28]

In 2019, Lawrence was named[32][33] in the Forbes 30 Under 30 for Europe within the Art & Culture category. In their centennial year Malvern St James school recognised Lawrence as one of their Malvern Alumnae 100 "Celebrating the talent and diversity of Malvern Old Girls.
