Early life

Lo began modeling as a teenager, working in fashion and commercial agencies. She moved to New York City at the age of 17 to pursue a modeling career. [2] While working in the fashion industry, she struggled with the pressures of body image and the demand to conform to strict standards. [3] Lo later spoke publicly about experiencing depression, which contributed to her decision to leave commercial fashion modeling. [2]

Lawsuit

In March 2011, Lo filed a sexual harassment lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court against Dov Charney, the then chief executive of American Apparel that was settled out of court. [4]

Later work

In 2022, Lo was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 30. [5] Since then, her work has been focused on documenting her experiences of treatment and recovery, focusing on themes of illness, resilience, and womanhood. [3] [5] [6]
