I had a theory that she skipped NYFW because it was too cold in February (since she walked NY Spring/Summer persistently prior to this piece of news.) Now I guess she is either "saving up energy" or spending some time doing non-modeling stuff? Studying perhaps?
NYFW is not avant garde like Milan and Paris, but I have always wished she would walk in shows like Ralph Lauren rocking the runway all regal and elegant.
Throwing a wild guess here; even though she said she doesn't like NY, she did walk SS persistently. Maybe she is booked to be an exclusive?
