However, up until the brand’s recent decision to name curvy model Barbie Ferreira as the face of its upcoming swimwear collection, the campaign had yet to feature any models that fit the so-called “plus-size” label. **Read More:** [Meet the Curvy Model Whose Unretouched Photos Are Taking the Internet by Storm](http://time.com/4196604/barbie-ferreira-model-aerie/) Now, just two weeks after Ferreira took the Internet by storm, size-14 model Iskra Lawrence has landed a gig as the brand’s newest spokesmodel. As an #AerieREAL Role Model, the 25-year-old NEDA (National Eating Disorder Association) advocate will appear at Aerie stores in college towns nationwide to speak about [body positivity](http://time.com/3752584/body-positivity-advocate-270-pound-weight-loss/). > [](https://twitter.com/MediaEyeTweets/status/697360269115314176) In her first video for the campaign, Lawrence gets emotional as she speaks about [female empowerment](http://time.com/3650583/done-self-loathing-new-year/) and what it really means to be beautiful. “I wanted to be a part of the campaign so much,” she says. “I got told I wasn’t good enough, and I could never make it. And then Aerie told me I was beautiful because I was me. You don’t need to be retouched. The real you is beautiful.” Watch the full spot above. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4215404/size-14-model-iskra-lawrence-newest-aerie-model/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4215404/size-14-model-iskra-lawrence-newest-aerie-model/"},"headline":"Size 14 Model Iskra Lawrence Is the Newest Face of Aerie's Unretouched Campaign","datePublished":"2016-02-10T16:31:47.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:29:54.673Z","description":"She's a National Eating Disorder Association advocate","url":"https://time.com/4215404/size-14-model-iskra-lawrence-newest-aerie-model/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Body Image","Models","modeling"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4215404/size-14-model-iskra-lawrence-newest-aerie-model/","name":"Size 14 Model Iskra Lawrence Is the Newest Face of Aerie's Unretouched Campaign"}}]}] ```
