Cindy
Crawford
She
is timeless, she is a real supermodel, she is the original
Cindy Crawford.
The average models career is usually over in her mid 20s.
Supermodels are special though, they were thought to have
careers into their early thirties. Well after the big
supermodel era with Cindy, Naomi, Claudia, Elle, Tyra
and Christy many younger generations followed them. New
names such as Gisele, Adriana, Alessandra, and Doutzen.
Then came along even the next younger generation Coco,
Sasha, Chanel, Brooklyn and Agyness just to name a few.
However, recently now in their forties the original 80's
era have been doing a lot. Christy is still lighting up
our faces with Maybelline, Claudia is still doing campaigns,
Elle is the new host of Topmodel uk, Naomi is always on
the fashion scene and now at 44 Cindy is back on the cover
of Harper's Bazaar.
The
term supermodel has been tossed around a lot over the
years. We have seen models make the SI swimsuit cover
and a year later no one remembers their name. There has
even been Vogue one cover wonders that was just that,
one cover compared to Cindy's 1000 plus magazine covers.
As time goes on you can always remember a true supermodels
name.
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 Gisele. 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 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.
She's
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
of all time, hosted MTV's House of Style for six years,
her own line of home interiors, and a spokes model Kays
Jewelers and for Revlon
cosmetics.
A
wife and a mother, and look after being one of the original
80's SUPERMODELs and having accomplish so much as a model
and successful bossiness woman.
Here
we still have the original supermodels more than twenty
years later still able to be a covermodel.
