The Surprising Lives of '80s Modeling Legends Today

6. Cindy Crawford

Cindy Crawford proved that knowledge and beauty go hand in hand by being the valedictorian of her college, therefore transcending mere appearance. She first registered in chemical engineering at Northwestern University but came to see her own calling in the realm of fashion and modelling. She entered the modelling scene rapidly rising to be a commercial powerhouse and a major influence. Both photographers and designers loved her for her famous mole and arresting looks. As Cindy reaches her sixties, she still models, unreservedly embracing her life events and questioning society's fixation with young beauty. She has turned into a shining example of empowerment, showing that one may appreciate rather than dread age. Beyond appearances, Cindy is busy as usual, flourishing as an entrepreneur with her own, perfectly tasteful house collection. She has written several books offering insights into her life and profession and even experimented with acting to demonstrate that her skills go much beyond the catwalk. Cindy Crawford stays an inspiration to many even now since she is always present in the business.
