Cindy
Crawford
When
you think of the word supermodel, Cindy Crawford is the
first thing that comes to mind. In the 80's when the term
supermodels came about there was no other name in the
world that was associated as much as the name Cindy Crawford.
It was a time when the only faces that graced fashion
magazine covers were those as such supermodels Cindy,
Naomi, Claudia, Christy, Elle, and Niki. It was a time
that to be a supermodel you were more glamorous and famous
than many well known actresses.
Well
after a few decades of supermodels things have changed,
I mean yeah we still have our newer generation of supermodels
such as Giselle. However, most fashion magazines tend
to use actresses and celebrity's on the cover of magazines.
They want to have covergirls that many people can relate
more easily than 5'11' 110 pound supermodels.
However,
the original supermodels are still around, such as Tyra
with her new talk show, many of the first generation of
supermodels are still very active in the fashion / modeling
world
aswell as active business women.
Cindy
has turn her modeling career in many directions since
modeling in her teens. However, lets start from the beginning
of her career.
Cindy
was born in De Kalb, Illinois she is the second of three
girls and four children. It was at age 16 while on her
summer job of detasselling corn that a newspaper photographer
took a photo of her. Cindy's photogenic look caught the
eye of many people such and family and friends. The feed
back was enough encouragement to quit her job working
in the corn fields and take up modeling. Cindy
went on to model for two summers represented by the prestigious
Elite Model Management in Chicago.
Cindy
is just not all beauty, she has plenty of brains too.
She had a 4.0 grade point average in highschool, scored
perfectly on her college calculus exams, was valedictorian
of her highschool, and won a chemical engineering scholarship
to Northwestern University to study chemical engineering.
Cindy
continued with her excellent grades at Northwestern University,
but she stopped pursuing her degree in engineering and
left college to pursue a full-time modeling career. She
work with a famous photographer in Chicago building up
a successful modeling portfolio then in 1986 she moved
to the fashion capital of the world New York City. It
didn't take long in New York for Cindy to be establish
as a top model. Within a few years after moving to New
York, Cindy was walking down the catwalks for famous fashion
designers, and appearing on the covers of all the top
fashion magazines.
Her
image and name was established, she had that look, the
famous mole on her cheek that all up coming models wanted,
the body that many women would love to have, and all the
right curves that made grown men melt like little boys.
Cindy soon became known all over the world. It was the
fashion and modeling community, the cosmetics companies,
the men sitting around watching football games on Sundays
when Cindy's multi million dollar Pepsi commercials would
be on TV.
She
was now just not a model but a supermodel. Her name and
image was seen just about everywhere. She has appeared
on more magazines covers than any other supermodel, she's
been in movies, television commercials, first supermodel
to ever appear in playboy, best selling workout videos
