supermodel
of the month: 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

but she stopped pursuing her degree in engineering and
left college to pursue a full-time modeling career. She

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
