Cindy Crawford, the American supermodel who rose to fame in the 1990s, has left an indelible mark on the fashion world. Born in 1966 in the US, Crawford was discovered by a local photographer at the age of 15. Her striking features, which included a distinctive beauty mark above her lip, set her apart from the crowd. In 1983, Crawford participated in the Elite Model Look competition, becoming a finalist. The following year, she graced the cover of American Vogue, the first of many magazine covers she would appear on over the course of her illustrious career. Embracing her unique look, Crawford became one of the most sought-after models of the era, walking the catwalks for the biggest names in fashion. She ventured into television in 1989, hosting the MTV series House of Style, and making a foray into acting with the film Fair Game (1995). Leveraging her fame, she also launched her own line of fitness videos, cosmetics, and home decor products, cementing her status as a savvy businesswoman. Cindy Crawford’s iconic status as one of the original supermodels remains undiminished, as she continues to inspire and influence the next generation of fashion icons, just like her daughter Kaia Gerber who is following in her mother’s footsteps.
