Cindy Crawford’s Modeling Legacy & Kaia and Presley Gerber

Cindy Crawford’s supermodel legacy is alive and well in her children, Kaia Gerber and Presley Gerber. In recent news, the siblings have opened up about following their mother into the modeling world (people.com). Both Kaia, 23, and Presley, 25, are now forging successful careers in fashion, proving that modeling runs in the family. From runway debuts to major brand campaigns, Cindy’s kids are embracing the industry on their own terms, all while drawing inspiration from their mom’s iconic career. As the next generation of the Crawford-Gerber clan makes waves in fashion, they also highlight evolving style and beauty trends - even something as simple as a hairstyle change (made effortless today with tools like seamless clip in hair extensions) can play a part in their story.

Modeling Runs in the Family: Cindy’s Influence on Kaia and Presley

Having a world-famous supermodel as a mother set the stage for Kaia and Presley’s early interest in fashion. Cindy Crawford and her husband Rande Gerber (himself a former model) passed on more than good genes - they instilled a strong work ethic and comfort in the spotlight. It’s no surprise that both children followed in their mother’s footsteps to pursue modeling careers (people.com). Cindy has spoken about how she didn’t push her kids into the business, but once they showed interest, she offered guidance. She emphasized timeless values like professionalism and kindness. In fact, Kaia has shared that her mom’s top advice is simply to “Be on time” and “…be kind to everyone,” noting that Cindy is renowned for her professionalism on set (eonline.com). That grounded upbringing made the Gerber siblings’ transition into modeling almost seamless.

Today, Kaia and Presley have both landed impressive gigs early on. Kaia started turning heads as a teen, from a Versace campaign at age 10 to walking for top designers by 16. Presley also made his debut as a teenager, walking in Dolce & Gabbana’s runway shows and appearing in major fashion ads. With Cindy cheering them on, the brother-sister duo even teamed up with their parents in a recent family fitness fashion campaign, bringing their journey full circle.

Kaia Gerber: Following in Mom’s Fashion Footsteps

Kaia Gerber has quickly become one of the most in-demand models of her generation. Much like her mother did in the ‘80s and ‘90s, Kaia is gracing magazine covers and runways around the globe. She landed her first Vogue cover at just 14 and has since walked for powerhouses like Chanel, Prada, and Valentino. Kaia often acknowledges how having Cindy as a mom gave her a head start - not just in name recognition, but in know-how. Growing up, she observed Cindy’s work ethic and learned by example. “I saw how hard my mom worked, and the life that she made for herself through this career, and that really inspired me,” Kaia revealed in a recent interview (vogue.com).

Beyond work ethic, Kaia openly takes style cues from her supermodel mom. The 23-year-old noted that as she gets older, she finds herself looking back at Cindy’s fashion archive for inspiration (people.com). They share similar features, so Kaia even jokes that if she’s unsure how a hair or makeup look might suit her, she’ll look up old photos of Cindy. If a hairstyle flattered Cindy back in the day, chances are Kaia can pull off a modern twist on it too (vogue.com). This unique mother-daughter dynamic means Kaia can channel vintage Cindy vibes - from power suits to the iconic voluminous hair - while still making the look her own.

Pro Tip: Models often switch hairstyles frequently. To recreate a runway-ready new look without committing to a drastic cut or color, try using seamless clip in hair extensions for instant length and volume. Choosing extensions made from 100% Remy Human Hair ensures the most natural blend with your own tresses.

Kaia’s ability to balance homage and originality has won her admiration in the fashion world. She’s walked the runway alongside legends and even ventured into acting, but remains grounded. In interviews, Kaia expresses gratitude for her “nepo baby” privilege while proving she’s earning her place through talent and hard work (people.com). With every fashion week, she further steps out of Cindy’s shadow and into her own spotlight - all while rocking looks that would make her mom proud.

Presley Gerber’s Journey: Carving His Own Niche

While his sister was dominating couture catwalks, Presley Gerber has been quietly building a modeling career that aligns with his own personality. The eldest Gerber child has worked with major brands like Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, and Moschino (people.com). Early on, Presley became a familiar face in Dolce & Gabbana’s millennial-themed campaigns and runway shows, where his laid-back California cool vibe set him apart.

Presley has spoken about how having Cindy as a mother gave him insider advantages, but he’s equally determined to prove himself. He’s acknowledged that doors opened more easily for him - people in the industry already knew his famous last name - yet Presley strives to show professionalism and reliability in every gig. Cindy’s influence is evident here too: she once advised him to “Be prepared. And stay off your phone!” when he started his first job, modeling or otherwise (vogue.com). That down-to-earth guidance has helped Presley navigate the fashion world with a level head.

Outside of modeling, Presley has explored other passions, from photography to advocating for mental health awareness. This well-rounded approach has allowed him to carve out a niche beyond just “Cindy Crawford’s son.” Still, fashion remains a family affair. Presley and Kaia occasionally appear in shoots together - something Kaia has said she loves, because having her brother on set makes the experience more comfortable when the industry feels daunting (people.com). As he continues to mature, Presley is finding his footing, balancing high-profile fashion work with personal growth. And whether he’s sporting a designer suit or casual streetwear, Presley carries himself with a confidence that unmistakably runs in the family.

Style Across Generations: From Cindy’s Iconic Hair to Today’s Trends

One of the most striking ways Cindy’s legacy shows up in her kids is through style. Cindy Crawford’s own look - think flawless skin, signature beauty mark, and full, voluminous hair - defined an era. In fact, her iconic ‘90s blown-out hairstyle is making a major comeback on social media, inspiring a new generation to emulate those bouncy supermodel locks (lifestyle.si.com). Cindy has said it’s “fun” to see her past trends return, noting the “…unapologetically sexy and fun attitude…” of ‘90s style (lifestyle.si.com).

Kaia and Presley embrace elements of that classic vibe while keeping things modern. Kaia, for instance, might sport the big, glamorous waves on a red carpet that harken back to Cindy’s heyday, then switch to sleek, minimalist hair for a contemporary editorial shoot. This chameleon-like ability is practically a requirement for today’s models - and here’s where innovations in beauty come into play. Top models frequently rely on tools like seamless clip in hair extensions to transform their look at a moment’s notice. Need waist-length hair for one show and a short bob for the next? Clip-in extensions make it possible without any permanent changes. Even on dramatic runway occasions, stylists use extensions and pieces to achieve jaw-dropping styles; during one Valentino couture show, hairdressers famously added numerous hairpieces to models (Kaia included) to create sky-high, fantastical hairdos (harpersbazaar.com).

The appeal of seamless clip-ins is that they lie flat against the scalp, so even up-close cameras can’t detect them. They blend effortlessly, especially when made from high-quality human hair. Remy Human Hair extensions, in particular, maintain the natural direction of the hair cuticle, which means the added hair moves and shines just like one’s own. For the Gerber siblings, having the flexibility to play with different hairstyles helps them channel various aspects of their mom’s legacy - from Cindy’s voluminous mane to the edgy, experimental looks that modern fashion demands - without damaging their natural hair.
