Iskra Lawrence Opens Up About Past Struggles With Eating Disorders and Spring Cleans Her Closet for Charity
Iskra Lawrence is one of the top models in the industry right now and for as long as we can remember, she’s been using her fame for good. By speaking out about her own struggles with disordered eating, the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) spokeswoman helps draw attention to serious, life-claiming illnesses like bulimia and anorexia, which affect at least 30 million Americans yearly.
Lawrence’s latest awareness-increasing initiative comes courtesy of eBay for Charity, a platform that allows eBay sellers to donate 10 to 100 percent of their earnings to domestic and foreign causes. (Buyers also have the option of adding a donation to their purchase during checkout.) For its “Spring Cleaning Campaign,” the online auction house invited celebs like Lawrence, Alicia Keys and Sophia Bush to sell items from their wardrobe and donate the proceeds to their nonprofit of choice. (Talk about the life-changing magic of tidying up.) As you may have surmised, all proceeds from sales of Lawrence’s 11 carefully curated pieces (including that cute cropped raglan knit she wore in her SELF cover shoot) will benefit the NEDA.
Ahead of the auction, we chatted with Lawrence about the items she chose to part with, her past struggles with disordered eating and her concerns about the current state of the fashion industry.
