The 26-year-old model took to Instagram on Sunday, March 6, to inform her 72 million followers how she plans on contributing to relief efforts. “Having a set Fashion Month schedule has meant that my colleagues and I often present new fashion collections during heartbreaking and traumatic times in history.
