Cindy Crawford Too ‘Healthy’ For Fashion Industry
October 28th, 2009
Cindy Crawford, one of the pioneers of the term “supermodel”, has admitted that with her celebrated curvy figure, she’d have virtually no chance of making it big as a model in the fashion industry today. She was one of the highest-paid models in the 80s and 90s, and her trademark beauty spot above her lip got her booked for some of the most prestigious advertising campaigns in the world.
But she believes the fashion industry would have no room for her today.
“I would not have become a supermodel in 2009,” Crawford, 43, told German magazine Bunte.
“I look too healthy.”
The industry is not looking for “a body like mine, with big breasts, normal thighs and toned upper arms”, she added.
The mom-of-two said she was happy with her physique, but revealed that she does occasionally worry about ageing and the changes it brings about – like wrinkles and bulges.
“I like being in my 40s so much,” she said.
“[It's about] being at peace with yourself, knowing about your strengths beyond being pretty.”
