How Runway Riot Is Changing The Fashion Industry

Runway Riot is a style and beauty website that provides women with the latest trends in fashion. Sounds like just about any other fashion site, right? Wrong. What makes Runway Riot different is that it wants to represent women of all sizes. Runway Riot is doing more than just providing make up tips, it is taking a stand against the fashion industry for not representing all women and calling for change.

Model Iskra Lawrence is the Managing Editor for Runway Riot. Iskra wants Runway Riot to be a place for all women to be included and said in an interview she had with Good Morning America, "We plan to create a home for women to come and feel inspired. It's going to be the first chance for women to feel included in fashion, from zeros to 28s. We are going to talk about cool and trendy clothes for women of all sizes."


As someone who was dropped from being a straight sized model by her former modeling agency because she was "too curvy" and then being told that she was too small to be a plus size model, Lawrence knows first hand what it's like to feel excluded in the fashion industry. Lawrence is now a model for Jag Models and uses her social media accounts as a voice to send the message that it is time to see more women in the media that are different sizes.



The site provides women with the latest fashion, makeup and beauty trends and has articles on a variety of stories about body image. A few of their most recent articles include "Chloë Grace Moretz Explains Why She Doesn’t Want to Look Like a Sports Illustrated Model", "Lena Dunham Rocks a Crop Top in The New York Times Magazine", and "It’s Insane That Adele Wonders If She’s Successful Because She’s Curvy". Iskra even posted a video showing How Dangerously Easy It Is to Airbrush Selfies.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
