Irena Drezi is an Irish plus-sized model, best known for being featured in an Instagram post by the brand PrettyLittleThing on June 17, 2019, which was unedited and showed the “real her”. The post had received an extremely high amount of likes, more than 100k, and also thousands of positive comments for the lack of face tuning and airbrushing. Receiving different types of praise, positivity, and encouragement after being judged and doubted for her desire to be a model at an unconventional size, made Irena cry.
Not too long after, Irena’s Instagram fanbase had reached a number of more than 150k followers, most of which were girls who were insecure about their own bodies and afraid they weren’t as perfect as top-models on social media. A lot of them have finally gained the courage to let go of the worry and accept their “imperfections” as they are, and soon after, decided to send Irena a DM thanking her for being the main motivation. Irena was also on the front cover of U Magazine in the past.

Personal Trainer
In secondary school, Irena struggled with an eating disorder called Body Dysmorphic Disorder, which lasted for about 4 years. She barely went outside, and always wore baggy clothes to try and hide her body. That anxiety led her to lose weight and drop to the size 8-10 but she later gained the weight back to be a size 18 at her peak. Irena thinks that the lack of diversity in the modeling industry ruined her perception.
At the age of 12, she thought that Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss were beautiful, but models with their body shape were everywhere and made her think that she had to look like that to succeed. At a later point in life, Irena started trying not to compare herself to others, because she found it was what ruined people’s confidence because no person is the same. She feels most comfortable with her body in-between sizes 14 and 16.
