We spent the day with Lawley in a small studio in Queens this August with an (almost) all-female crew for her first day back at work since she experienced a seizure at her home and fell face-first down a flight of stairs. An incident she has widely shared with the public to shed light on the poorly understood disease that she suffers from: lupus. She understands how the world is intricately woven in its magic and troubles, and in our conversation, and discusses how her health and body is connected to a history of women’s rights, women’s health, body-image, and the fashion industry.
