OHMYGOSSIP — Kaia Gerber “steals” Cindy Crawford’s vintage clothes.
The 16-year-old model – whose famous mother was dubbed one of ‘The Magnificent Seven’ of the catwalk alongside fellow ’90s supermodels Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista, Helena Christensen, Naomi Campbell, Elle Macpherson and Claudia Schiffer – loves to take fashion inspiration from her mum’s famous looks and wishes she could fit into her designer shoe collection.
She said: “We’re not the same shoe size which is upsetting because I thought I could steal all of her shoes, but I definitely take a lot of her vintage pieces – those are the most iconic.”
But although the pair – who both walked in Versace’s season-highlight spring/summer 2018 show last year – exchange style tips, Cindy hasn’t given her advice on following in her runway footsteps.
Speaking to Vogue.com, she confessed: “She’s never given me a catwalk lesson, I’ve definitely watched her work, but we’re not at home just walking down the hallways of our house together!”
And Kaia has been given advice from Cindy – who also has son Presley Gerber, 18, with husband Rande Gerber, 56 – on how to succeed in the modelling industry and loves how “down to earth” her upbringing was because her famous parents made sure to “separate work and home life”.
She explained: “Don’t do anything you don’t want to do and follow your instincts, I’ve seen her do that and how far it’s gotten her.
“I admire how down to earth my mom is … everyone would ask me what’s it like to have Cindy Crawford as your mom, but Cindy Crawford (the supermodel) wasn’t my mom – she did a really good job of separating her work and home life.”
