Is this why Kendall Jenner skipped the whole of fashion month?

While this season’s blockbuster shows may have boasted the likes of Gigi Hadid, Kaia Gerber, Joan Smalls and even Elle Fanning on their runways, there was one very notable absence. Kendall Jenner’s career has skyrocketed over the past few years, following her introduction to modelling back in 2009. She showed everyone who doubted her as ‘just a reality TV personality’ that she was a seriously talented model and has seen great success. But where was she during Fashion Month?

Since hitting her catwalk peak in 2016, the young model has been appearing on fewer and fewer runways each season. Spring/Summer 2018 saw her walk for just Michael Kors, Marc Jacobs, Ralph Lauren, Versace, Alexander Wang and Tom Ford.

She walked her last runway for DSquared2 in January for Milan men’s fashion week, so is there a reason behind her absence? Kris Jenner might have revealed the reason in a teaser from  Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

The video shows Kris on the phone to Kendall, who called her about an “emergency”, which it’s revealed is a panic attack, while she’s in LA. Kris explains,

“She doesn’t feel well, she’s not sure what it is…”

She then says to the camera,

“Kendall struggles from anxiety, and I think she has so much going on that she gets herself really worked up. Kendall gets the most anxious during fashion week so when she’s travelling a lot. And Milan’s coming up and trying to juggle it all is overwhelming.”

In flashback footage, Kendall reveals that she gets “light-headed” and feels like she’s “going to faint” and even though she looks fine, she doesn’t “feel fine”.

As we mentioned earlier, Kendall did appear on one runway at Milan Fashion Week in January, where she came under fire for wearing what looked like a real fur coat, although neither the brand or the model have confirmed this.

I’ve never seen anything as VILE as the fur coat @KendallJenner is wearing in that photo 😷 Isn’t it about time this influential family took a stand against fur!??? Come on @KrisJenner @KimKardashian @kourtneykardash @khloekardashian @KylieJenner ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! pic.twitter.com/B9ubHAeH6m

She also attended the Off White x Jimmy Choo dinner in New York City and spent some time behind the camera with the Adidas Originals crew, but hasn’t been spotted on the runway. Whether Kendall skipped this season for health reasons or not, we hope she’s feeling better and we’re grateful that such a high-profile star is comfortable being so open about her struggle with anxiety.
