I never said I was quitting modeling

I do not blame the fashion industry for anything

I suffer from depression and was a model during a particularly rough patch of self hatred

I am so lucky for the work I get to do but I used to work to try and escape and just ended up completely exhausting myself.

I am focusing on filming and trying to learn how to not pick apart my every flaw. I am really good at that

Okay…. Rant over. Just wanted to clarify and word vomit a little

So, sounds like she’s still focusing on acting… but we can’t blame her for taking an opportunity with a great designer!
And we don’t think she has to be limited to one trade if she doesn’t want to be!
We commend Cara for her honesty, and we wish her all the best on her journey to health and success!
