Lauren Wasser, a model and advocate, has overcome significant challenges to become a prominent figure in the fashion industry. Despite losing both her legs to Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) from a tampon in 2012, she refused to let it define her. Today, she uses her platform to raise awareness about TSS and the need for better regulation of menstrual products, advocating for women’s health and safety.Born into a family of models in California, Lauren Wasser was destined for the fashion world. Both her parents being part of the industry, it was natural for her to follow in their footsteps. Her debut in Vogue alongside her mother at just 4 months old highlighted her early connection to fashion.
