New York Fashion Week has only just begun, but it’s already claimed its first victim: Gigi Hadid.

Hadid first went public with her Hashimoto’s diagnosis in 2016, when she spoke on a panel for Reebok’s #PerfectNever campaign.

Hashimoto’s disease affects the thyroid gland, which controls the body’s metabolism. Symptoms can include weight fluctuations, sluggishness, depression, muscle weakness and joint pain.
