To change the fashion industry's notions about size, model Iskra Lawrence has hit the social media with her butt selfies.

Educating women to feel confident about their body, the plus-sized model shared pics, wherein she is seen flaunting her fat butt in a tiny orange bikini, the Mirror reports.

She captioned one of the raunchy pic, "oh hey there.. Yes this is clearly a booty pic but do you see why? Because I haven't airbrushed my tiger stripe stretch marks ?? or my cellulite lightening bolts or my back fat because this is my body, I love it it's real.

Her post further read, " and I love posting pictures showing how confident I am because society has taught us we have "flaws" and I'm telling you who gives a.. Because you are more than your body and you get to decide what beauty is??#iskralawrence #everyBODYisbeautiful pic by @imruhul tag a friend who's flaws are flawless & are imperfectly perfect."

In another pic, she showed off her butt in black knickers and a cropped top and captioned it as, "Never thought I'd love my body, in my teens I was called fat so many times by the fashion industry I am now numb to it."

Applauding Lawrence's hot figure, one impressed user wrote, "I don't see flaws in see a beautiful fun woman with a body that can stop a man's heart."

Another user wrote, "Ive always been terrified of people seeing my stretch marks and cellulite....people like you give me more confidence :) thank you x."

Notably, Lawrence said in an interview that she wanted to show the designers that they should come up with more sizes so that women of all shapes can wear trending fashion.
