“I was like, ‘I didn’t realize. I knew you were iconic, but …’ I didn’t understand when I was younger. I was starstruck in front of her after”, said Kaia. “The Super Models” is an Apple TV+ show that highlighted Crawford’s career, as well as Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington’s, the four of “The Big Six” in the 90s.
“What she made of her career, there wasn’t really someone’s footsteps to follow. And I thought it was so cool that she always had that ambition, and she did things where people told her, ‘This will ruin your career. Don’t do this.’ And she trusted her instincts”, said Kaia about her mom.
Kaia has paved her way over the years and has become one of the most sought-after models in the industry. Her resume includes brands such as Valentino, Burberry, Prada, Miu Miu, Chanel, Givenchy, among others.
