Kaia Gerber Says Nude Photos of Mom Cindy Crawford Were a “Gift”
Kaia Gerber has shared her insights on growing up in the shadow of her mother, iconic supermodel Cindy Crawford. In a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Gerber discussed how exposure to her mother’s nude photographs shaped her understanding of body positivity.
Growing Up Around Cindy Crawford’s Nude Photos
Kaia Gerber, now 24, believes that witnessing her mother’s artistic nude photoshoots was a valuable experience. She emphasized that these images were never seen as vulgar or degrading. Instead, they taught her to appreciate the female form without shame.
“They were, to me, artistic,” Gerber explained. “It was a gift to grow up in a house that was without shame for the female body.”
A Positive Influence on Career Choices
Cindy Crawford, now 59, has also impacted Kaia’s career as a model. However, she approached this influence with care. Instead of overtly directing her daughter, Crawford encouraged her to speak up and find her unique voice in the industry.
Gerber appreciated her mother’s hands-off approach. “She doesn’t give out advice unless you ask,” Kaia noted. “But if you ask, get ready, because she’ll be very honest in ways that, sometimes, it’s hard to hear.”
Lessons From Mistakes
Kaia acknowledged that Cindy’s insights can be frustrating at times, but they are often spot on. “She’s usually right, which is infuriating,” Gerber remarked. Yet, she values her mother’s willingness to let her learn from her own experiences, including the mistakes Cindy made during her own modeling career three decades ago.
