Today, Cindy Crawford’s 20-year-old daughter, Kaia Gerber, is rapidly building an impressive career of her own, drawing attention from the global fashion industry. She has already appeared in leading international magazines and caught the eye of major designers eager to see her on their runways.
Despite her young age, Kaia’s résumé is remarkable. She has graced the pages of Vogue and LOVE magazine and worked with fashion powerhouses including Marc Jacobs, Burberry, Chanel, Prada, Versace, Miu Miu, and Alexander Wang. Designers have praised not only her striking resemblance to her famous mother, but also her natural presence in front of the camera. The late Karl Lagerfeld, in particular, was known to admire her and frequently expressed interest in collaborating with her.
Over the past year, Kaia’s professional profile has risen quickly. Even so, she has managed to remain grounded. She balances her modeling commitments with her education, spends time with friends, and often turns to her mother for guidance. From an early age, Kaia knew she wanted to pursue modeling, and as she grew older, it became increasingly clear that she had inherited both her parents’ photogenic qualities and strong work ethic.
Her first major fashion experience came at just ten years old, when Donatella Versace invited her to appear in a photoshoot for Versace’s children’s line. The shoot was a success and left a lasting impression on Kaia, who later recalled how unforgettable the experience felt.
At 13, she signed with IMG Models, and within months, she landed the cover of LOVE magazine. Soon after, she began walking runways across the U.S. and Europe, often standing out among more established models. One particularly memorable moment came when Kaia and Cindy appeared together during Milan Fashion Week for Versace’s Spring/Summer 2018 show, celebrating both a new generation and the icons of the past

Kaia holds deep respect for her mother, viewing her as both a role model and a source of wisdom. Cindy has encouraged her to trust her instincts and follow her own path — advice Kaia takes seriously. At the same time, she maintains a strong focus on education and has expressed interest in studying criminal psychology, showing that her ambitions extend beyond fashion.
With talent, discipline, and curiosity, Kaia Gerber continues to carve out her own identity — and it’s clear she’s only just getting started.
