'I landed dream job modelling lingerie at New York Fashion Week but forgot to shave'

Iskra Lawrence filmed herself getting ready to live her dream modelling lingerie at New York Fashion Week when she suddenly realised she'd forgot to shave her legs

A curvy model shared the moment she realised she forgot to shave her legs before walking the catwalk in lingerie.

Iskra Lawrence was once deemed 'too big' for 'standard' clothing and 'too thin' to represent plus size fashion. But while some once thought she wouldn't make it as a model, the 32-year-old proved them wrong.

Not only has she worked with countless brands and built up millions of followers over the years, she managed to live her dream by walking the runway at New York Fashion Week earlier this year.

Speaking about living her dream, Iskra said: "I'm opening the Adore Me fashion show at New York Fashion Week. I'm not okay. I'm not okay 13-year-old Iskra is screaming right now and thinking 'how on earth did we get here?'

"Even 20 year old Iskra is like, 'how on earth did we get here?' I was doing college fashion shows. I was never getting paid and doing shoot after shoot after shoot and just being told I would never make it legit.

"Agencies rejecting me left, right and center. So, you might need this reminder to never give up because the prime old age of 32, I am opening my first New York Fashion Week."

The superstar, who moved to LA from Kidderminster, proceeded to get dressed for her show, pairing a corset top with black trousers and a jacket. She even packed her bag full of emergancy snacks as she didn't know when she'd be able to get a proper meal in.
