Artisinal doughnut shop Dough has collaborated with model Iskra Lawrence for a limited edition doughnut only available during Fashion Month. The brioche doughnut is topped with a white chocolate and raspberry glaze along with a white chocolate drizzle and dried raspberries and is available through the end of February. 10% of the proceeds from the sale of this collaborative doughnut will benefit the efforts of the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA).
Iskra is a brand ambassador for NEDA as well as an #AerieReal Role Model who supports body positivity and self-care. She said,
I am beyond excited that Dough has created a doughnut in my name to celebrate fashion month. The Iskra doughnut is made with some of my all-time favorite flavors and natural ingredients. It’s a fun reminder that we should all be able to savor life’s special moments, reject any social pressure or toxic diet culture messaging, and try to stay focused on fully enjoying our lives and love for food!
Dough has done some VIP collaborations in the past, including ones with Chrissy Teigen and Kevin Durant. Dough owner Steve Klein said this one came to be because,
I’d seen Iskra eating our doughnuts, and she always had such a great reaction to them, so we already knew she was a fan. We love the work she does, and the fact that she is a model who still enjoys sweets. I sent her an Instagram DM, and let her know that we’d like to make a doughnut for her, and she was ecstatic. She let me know her favorite flavors are white chocolate and raspberry, so our chef Laura Palace came up with a phenomenal glaze that blends both of those, and topped it off with fresh dried raspberries and a white chocolate drizzle.
