When Cindy Crawford talks about her iconic career, she does so with the wisdom of someone who’s lived through the highs and lows of the modeling world. In a candid interview with Town & Country, the legendary model opened up about regrets and lessons learned during her more than three-decade-long career. Now 52, Crawford reflected on her decision to pose for nude photos, sharing that she doesn’t regret all of them but does wish she hadn’t gone along with some of them. “The only ones I regretted were the ones that I kind of got talked into,” she confessed.
Crawford’s experiences have shaped not just her own journey but also how she guides her children, Presley, 18, and Kaia, 16, as they step into the spotlight themselves. As both kids carve out their own paths in the modeling industry, Cindy is determined to help them avoid the pitfalls she faced. “I don’t want my children to ever look back and think, ‘Gosh, I wish I hadn’t done that,’” she said. “I want to empower them to be confident enough to say, ‘I’m outta here.’”
Leading by Example: Cindy’s Approach to Parenting
For Cindy, being a parent isn’t just about giving advice—it’s about setting an example. She believes that while kids may not always listen to what you tell them, they’re constantly observing your actions. “If you’re polite to people, they learn to be polite. If you make family time a priority, they don’t even question spending time together,” she explained. “You lead by example.” It’s this philosophy that drives Cindy to ensure her children understand the importance of making thoughtful decisions, especially in an industry that can sometimes push boundaries too far.

Can Modeling Be Taught? Cindy Weighs In
Despite her extensive experience, Cindy admits there’s only so much she can teach her kids about modeling. “I don’t really think that you can teach how to model. It needs to come from within,” she said. While she can offer guidance and support, the essence of modeling—the ability to exude confidence, authenticity, and charisma—is something that comes naturally to those who possess it. For Presley and Kaia, their mother’s influence serves as a foundation, but ultimately, their success will depend on their unique talents and perspectives.

Protecting Her Children in the Industry
Cindy’s status as a modeling icon has provided her children with a layer of protection as they navigate the fashion world. “As far as being a mother of two young people going into fashion, of course I worry. But let’s be honest,” she admitted. “My kids are blessed in that business because they aren’t coming in as unknowns. People will know I will come after them if they mess with my kids.” This protective instinct underscores her commitment to ensuring her children thrive in an environment that values their well-being as much as their talent.
