Curvy model Iskra Lawrence reveals un-airbrushed photographs to show fans a ‘real’ woman’s body
The 26-year-old is encouraging her followers and fans to embrace their flaws
MODEL Iskra Lawrence has shown off her unedited figure in a bid to battle unnecessary airbrushing.
The 26-year-old star posed in a peach longsleeve top and string, peach coloured underwear for the shoot, posing with her blonde hair looking windswept as she gazed into the camera.
She wrote underneath: "No retouching [because] we are all imperfectly perfect."
The curvy model has made no secret of her desire to change the public's vision of what it means to be picture perfect and beautiful after years of fighting the industry 'norm'.
In November, she staged a public protest for a video by taking to the New York subway and stripping down to her underwear.
Iskra then passionately pleaded with the commuters to “celebrate difference”, leading them so eventually break out into a round of applause.
The British model first began her speech only to be interrupted by an announcement on-board the train.

However, she didn’t let this deter her, starting again, after telling those on the train: “This is bad timing!”
As she removed her clothes she explained to those around her that she wanted to “make herself vulnerable”.
Calling her body a “vessel”, Iskra went on to say that grew up “hating” herself because she didn't fit with the '=”small standards of beauty” that seem to be put on society via the media.
Iskra has previously spoken about the extent she felt she had to go to in order to get work.
She told Fabulous magazine in September: “For many years I associated my success in life with having a thigh gap and being as thin as possible.
“I tried extreme diets and I battled myself every day for years because I thought that was the only way I’d be happy and achieve my goals. I spent so many years fighting."
She added: “I went to the [plus size] agency and they said I was too small. I was like, ‘Are you kidding me? I’ve spent six years trying to be slimmer!’
“I thought, ‘Maybe I’m fighting the wrong corner. Maybe I should be fighting to embrace what I have and fight for a change for the industry. There’s more to me than just my size.'”
