I think in terms of me shying away from modelling, I would like to clarify in some way that I was taking a break from many things in my life and obviously what people in the public see is that I'm pulling away from what is more public.

I'm only 20 for God's sakes. In February 2005 Ward appeared in no less than 20 New York runways for designers that included Vera Wang Oscar de la Renta and Klein and was rumored to earn about $20000 per show. In September 2005 Ward secured a coveted place on the inaugural cover of Vogue China posing between Chinese models Du Juan and Wang Wenqin and was shot by leading photographer Patrick Demarchelier.
