Cindy Ann Crawford was one of the most popular "It" girls of the late 80s and much of the 90s. In 1995, she was named the highest paid model on the planet by Forbes Magazine and she definitely got there through hard work.
She started her career with Elite Model Management in Chicago at the age of 17 after coming in second place at the agency's Look of the Year contest. Despite the great opportunity, Cindy wanted to pursue a degree in chemical engineering. However, after only a semester at Northwestern University, she dropped out and decided to pursue modelling full-time. It didn't take long before Elite New York added her to their roster.
Soon after, the brunette model started to take over runways around the world and graced the covers of magazines like Vogue, Harper's Bazaar and Elle. She has worked on major campaigns for some of the biggest fashion houses including Versace, Hermes, Oscar De La Renta and Calvin Klein. She's also made her mark in movies, advertisements and TV shows including hosting MTV's House of Style. In 1998 alone, Cindy made over 500 different appearances.
"Cindy changed the perception of the 'sexy American girl' from classic blue eyed blonde to a more sultry brunette with brains, charm, and professionalism to spare," Michael Kors once said.
About 15 years after her debut, a then 34-year-old Cindy retired from modelling in 2000. She wanted to spend more time with her former-model-turned businessman husband, Rande Gerber, and their son, Presley Walker, who was born a year earlier.
Crawford no longer partook in runway shows but she occasionally appeared in magazines and red carpets. She took a break from the limelight for a few years after welcoming her second child, Kaia Gerber, in 2001.
Over the years, the Gerber siblings have been spotted alongside their mother but it wasn't until recently, following their debut as models, that the attention has really shifted on them.

Since both of their parents are former models, it is no surprise that Presley and Kaia have chosen to follow in their footsteps, especially since they've inherited their mother's beauty.
Kaia made her debut at 10-year-old when she starred in a campaign for Versace children's line.
The 15-year-old Cindy lookalike has since gone on to star in various campaigns and is currently the face of Marc Jacobs Beauty.
She also recently appeared on the cover of Vogue Paris alongside her mother.
As for her brother, he made his runway debut last summer at the Moschino resort show.
The 18-year-old is also one of the faces of Dolce & Gabbana's spring 2017 campaign and starred in singer Madison Beer's latest music video.
The older Gerber was recently awarded with the Emerging Model Award at the Daily Front Row's Fashion Los Angeles Awards and his entire gorgeous family was there to celebrate.
Not only are the Gerber children gifted with beauty, they've got brains too. Their dad's latest humble brag post on Instagram is proof enough.
Their supermodel mom told Vogue Paris that her kids have "good heads on their shoulders" so she's not worried about their choices to be models.
"You know what, it's been really fun for me to see my kids get their feet wet in the fabulous world of fashion," Crawford told Vanity Fair.
"I don't give them any specific advice about modeling per se, because I feel like the relationship a model has with the camera is different for each person," she added. "The tricks that helped me may not necessarily work for them or for other people. The advice I give them is more about reminders"”like be on time, be prepared, be professional, don't be on your phone, talk to people, and have fun. . . . They both have good heads on their shoulders, and I'm not worried."
Looks like Presley and Kaia will also be dominating the catwalk just like their mom did over two decades ago. We can't wait to see what they have up their sleeves for the future.
