I don't think Miuccia would ever abandon Sasha like that, but her absence from the show, even if unintentional, provided a great opportunity to introduce someone new. Sasha won't be the Prada face
forever, and this could work as a natural breaking point.
But I'm not holding my breath. And if they against all odds should pick someone new for the campaign, I don't want it to be Natalia. I'd like to see
Sara Blomqvist. Won't happen, but that's my kind of Prada girl. She's like a flashback from the amazing Prada casts circa 2003, and the best new Pradette in seasons...
Or a multi-girl campaign with Sara, Eden, Elise (one can dream)... what a divine cast that'd be for this collection.
