supermodel of the month: Cindy Crawford

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 early twenties. 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. Models such as Gisele, Adriana, Alessandra, and Doutzen. Now newest generation of supermodel is forming with with Karlie Kloss and Joan Smalls.

However, recently now in their forties the original 80's supermodels are just as busy working their modeling gigs as ever . Christy is still lighting up our faces with Maybelline, Claudia is busy doing campaigns, Elle is working on new projects show, Naomi has a new show airing this February called "The Face" and now in her mid forties Cindy is still on the covering magazines.

The term supermodel has been tossed around a lot over the years. We've seen models make the SI swimsuit cover and a year later no one remembers their name. There have even been Vogue one cover wonders that were 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 for generations has been one of the first that comes to mind. In the 80's when the term supermodels gain popularity 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 supermodels Cindy, Naomi, Claudia, Christy, Elle, and Niki. It was a time that to be a supermodel you were more glamorous and famous than most 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 American fashion magazines tend to use actresses and celebrity's on the cover of magazines. They want to have covergirls they think many people can relate more easily than 5'11' 110 pound supermodels.

However, the original supermodels are still around, such as Tyra whom just graduated from Harvard bussiness school and working on her new season of Top Model. Many of the first generation of supermodels are still very active in the fashion / modeling world as well 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 pulling 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 had become not just 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.

She is still landing covers more than 25 years after her career began. Cindy Crawford real supermodel and super rolemodel.
