Lauren Wasser's Bionic Beauty by Isaac Anthony for Paper Magazine
Bionic woman Lauren Wasser is styled by Jenny Haapala in images by Isaac Anthony for Paper Magazine’s Winter issue. Laura Pitcher narrates what began as Lauren’s Cinderella story of a high-cheekbones baby modeling in Vogue Italia at age two.
Wasser continued to model, even after losing both legs to TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome) at age 24. Wasser, the 5’11” daughter of model parents, first shared her story with VICE in 2015, explaining that she feels a duty to stand for TSS survivors without a platform.
"If men's dicks were falling off, this wouldn't be an issue," Wasser says. "But because it's a women's health issue, we're not recognized, and that's why I'm fighting for us."
Wasser is also working with H&M and Savage x Fenty.
