Gigi Hadid relied on her social media accounts to help fuel her career in fashion, but she has now decided to step away during the holiday season to enjoy more privacy.

She revealed at the Reebok’s #PerfectNever campaign launch event in New York City: “I’m going to take a break. And when I feel like it and I come back and share with you if you want to be supportive and still follow me I’m grateful for that.

But if you’re going to be negative or be upset that I had to be human for a month than maybe I don’t want your follow anyway.”

While the blonde beauty is grateful to social networks, she would like to explore her career “without the social media aspect” every now and then.

She said: “I’m so grateful for social media because it’s given me so much more in my career, but I also really respect my career without the social media aspect.

And I really want to still pay most of the attention to my job as a craft and not lose the art in it and the relationships that are meaningful to me not because of the money or the contracts but because of how I inspired designers and how they inspire me.

I want to go back to focusing on that kind of relationship within fashion when I go to work for the next month.”

And Gigi, who is currently dating Zayn Malik, encourages heavy social media users to take a break and regain some sense of privacy.

She further added: “It’s not only for people in the spotlight, it’s for everyone. At the end of the day, I’m choosing what I’m showing you. A lot of the world feels so much entitlement in other people’s lives, which is so crazy and so new for human beings. We never had that.”
