Cara Delevingne is a British model, actress and fashion icon. She rose to fame in the fashion industry as one of the most sought-after models from 2012 - 2015, walking for top designers such as Burberry and Chanel. In 2015 she announced that she was retiring from modelling to focus on her acting career. Her decision came after years of criticism over her weight, which had caused her immense anxiety about her body image. Despite being successful in the modeling world, Cara found it difficult to cope with comparing herself to others and feeling like an alien within the fashion industry. She wanted to take control of how people viewed her, so she decided to leave modelling behind and pursue something more meaningful – namely acting roles that allowed her express what really mattered most: self-love and acceptance for who you are no matter what size or shape you are.
