“I thought, ‘I didn’t realize.

The supermodels series. “What she did with her career, there was really no one to follow in her footsteps.”
The Super Models highlights Crawford’s career, along with Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista and Christina Turlington. In the 1990s, women, along with Claudia Schiffer and Kate Moss who did not participate in the docuseries, were nicknamed “The Big Six” after taking over runway shows, magazine covers, fashion campaigns and more.
Elsewhere in her cover story, Gerber addressed being labeled a “nepo baby” because of her famous parents. (Kaia’s father is Randa Gerberformer model and co-founder of Casamigos tequila with George Clooney and Michael Meldman.)
“I don’t think it’s an issue that’s going to go away, so clearly I’ve reached a point of acceptance,” Kaia said. “Personally, I am very aware of all the wonderful things it has done for me and I would never say anything negative about it, because that is my truth about it.”
Like her mother, Kaia has dominated the runways for top designers including Miu Miu, Prada, Saint Laurent, Alexander Wang and more. Most recently, she rocked a white cutout minidress while strutting down the Valentino runway during Paris Fashion Week in October 2023. She paired the outfit with a white leather bag with gold hardware and strappy sandals.
