There’s something about Cindy…. Again.
In comparison to her supermodel peers Cindy Crawford’s enduring beauty has only been heightened by her slightly elusive nature. No one could ever forget her – not with those cheekbones, that beauty spot and the banging bod – but she has remained relatively under-the-radar for some time, only occasionally appearing in high profile, choice fashion spreads following her career boom in the eighties and nineties. But there’s a sea change in the air and the industry’s excitement is infectious to say the least.
Cindy has opened herself up to the public once more thanks to a Rizzoli-published biography. Chronicling her life, Becoming by Cindy Crawford has been launched on the eve of her 50th birthday (yes, really, the gods have been unkind to the rest of us) this tome features never before seen imagery from the frontline of fashion as well as snaps from her personal archives, plus Cindy’s life lessons, career highs and positive messages. Just to add further fuel to the general psyche fire, The Coveteur have photographed her house, she’s coined her style with a catchy moniker - the ‘MILF next door’ - in GQ magazine and her promo trail ensembles have included great looks from Victoria Beckham and J Brand.
Her social media status has been soaring, her ridiculously good looking kids (Presley and Kaia from her marriage to Randy Gerber) are gaining a style industry presence and one of the hottest labels of the moment – The Reformation – has been experiencing a runaway success with a sweatshirt emblazoned with CINDY CRAWFORD across the chest.
From today’s All American model, Karlie Kloss, to an entire blogosphere, no one can get enough of this jersey. "Cindy is the ultimate muse," Reformation founder and CEO Yael Aflalo has said, little did they expect that Cindy would dish out the ultimate seal of approval and wear it on the cover of a magazine. Even Cindy’s daughter in on board with the trend, stealing the sweatshirt for a cheeky insta-shot.
If there's anyone you need to channel - either physically or spiritually - make it Cindy this season.
