Cindy Crawford Breaks Down 13 Looks From 1989 to Now | Life in Looks | Vogue

hi vogue i'm cindy crawford and today we're going to go through my life and looks okay here we go this was actually my publicity headshot for when i did house of style you know it was funny when i started doing house of style no stylist i think the very first time we shot i brought my own azadeen elaya dress and my own leather jacket which this was my leather jacket obviously paired with a white t-shirt here i mean so classic a white t-shirt and a leather jacket and big hair see we're starting off strong some of the greatest things about house of style was just like the wacky situations like showing naomi campbell putting on pimple cream and that hey supermodels get pimples too you know that kind of thing made it much more approachable vogue this is not my first vo cover i've been very fortunate i've had a few this is the new vogue anna winter came to vogue and she was all about like what is the new vogue and i think this cover really kind of shows that it's outside it's not like one of those super close-up head shots that avadon was famous for the hair is up and i do have to say i don't do a lot of covers with my hair up i feel like cindy crawford's always like the hair is blowing or it's big hair whatever i remember my first shoot for vogue was with wayne mazer and carlene surf as a swimsuit story in st bart's from that shoot i was invited to shoot with avadon and i went there and ended up getting the cover and i remember it was like this pink suit it was very happy i was in europe when it came out and i was passing through the airport and i stopped to buy well i bought three and i just so wanted the woman at the counter to look at the magazine and realize it was me and she didn't of course and she was like do you know you have three of the same magazines honey and that was it well this is just um what do they call that model off duty that wasn't a thing again this was just me probably not being very chic i have like a plastic shopping bag my big bottle of evian and we lived in our 501s i'm sure that jacket is as a dean and that was one of the cool things about working with azadenalaya was that you got to go down and get clothes i mean you pretty much got paid in clothes and i always felt like my clothes end up in a little pile on the floor wherever i'm shooting so i didn't i didn't wear like precious things i mean it might be azodine but it was a leather coat that i wore every day it is funny that i do see pictures like this pop up on instagram all the time around pinterest you know like a style inspo because again like no one put this together other than like what i grabbed so it's it's funny because it wasn't like styled in any way ah i love this this was my red versace dress it was for the academy awards i was with my ex-husband the red carpet thing was not such a big deal i did not have a stylist i had just been in milan doing shows and there was this dress in black that someone was wearing you know i just called donatella or whoever and was like could you guys make me this dress in red for the oscars and they did the black shoes it's funny because it seemed right at the time they seem a little heavy to me now but the thing that was really sexy about this dress was the slit in the back it came nearly like up to it came up very high you had to be very careful in this dress a few years ago anna winter asked for this dress for an auction that bo was doing i still had it and i put it up for auction and i should have bought it back i regret that i didn't someone has the stress now i'm not that i would wear it again but i think i miss it a little bit oh this is probably my favorite fashion moment i didn't do as many fashion shows as a lot of the the other women that i would consider like in my group of models a lot of times i would just do versace this was in a gianni versace show the four of us plus tatiana had done a george michael video that ended up being really you know played all the time on mtv the show happened so gianni had the song playing and the four of us come out together i wrote about this in my book and i wrote that one plus one plus one plus one equaled more than four in this moment it was like something happened it felt really special it was like one of those moments where music and pop culture and fashion all came together in like a super magical way you can just see the joy on all of our faces in this picture like we're singing as we walk down the runway and we're just having fun and we're just like drinking in every moment of it oh i love this shoot this shoot is also vox surprise surprise helmet newton in monte carlo i loved working with helmet i mean definitely helmet had a style and you kind of knew what you were signing up for when you worked with helmet newton he had a sense of humor about his photographs you know even some of the more sexualized ones like for instance i would always say helmet i'm never putting a saddle on don't even ask me he would like tell you a story as you were doing this picture and i remember the story for this picture which was he was like you know you were married to a very rich man and he died you know so it's kind of like this widow but you had a young lover you know he he just kept adding to the story and hoping to catch like the tiniest change of expression you know to get that picture and then you know whenever you do a picture like this with a piece of chiffon or tulle or whatever it was it's always like you have a hundred bad ones to get the one perfect one where everything's perfect the leg's perfect the arm's perfect the tool's perfect once again versace this was the vmas mtv awards but this was when versace did their you know famous bondage collection i mean what more can you say it's amazing what is interesting is i just glanced down and i saw the heels were probably three inches and that was considered high at the time i mean we did not have to wear those insanely like five inch heels until much later i thought that was a high heel at the time and when you think back that's like your work pump now working with gianni and donatella was just always like it was family i mean they were family and they made you feel part of the family and it was always so much fun and johnny really celebrated the model in a new way i think like he also was partly responsible for what like the rise of the supermodel it's funny because kaya for her 18th birthday she asked them to make her a new version of this dress hers was shorter but it's just funny that even for her you know and i think this was you know 30 years later or more that the style still resonated like that was her coming out party so it was kind of a way for her to be like okay i'm not a little girl anymore i'm wearing a versace bondage dress when people dress as me for halloween they dress in this outfit this is my first pepsi commercial i did i'm wearing obviously a white bodysuit these were my own jeans that i wore to set that day we tried on a bunch of different things and finally they were like can we just cut you know your jeans off and make cutoffs i said yes because i take one for the team you know this just became iconic because of everything i mean yes the outfit the hair but i also got out of a really cool lamborghini they had great music the greatest thing about this commercial was even though it was like super sexy in an all-american way it was cute too because there were two little boys that were watching me and at the end they're like is that a great looking pepsi can or what if they weren't even noticing me they were just looking at the pepsi can and i honestly don't think the commercial would have been near as impactful if it didn't have that little innocence and sense of humor and next up stephen mizell is such an incredible teacher of modeling he helps you understand how to move and he used to have like this big mirror behind him when he was shooting and really loud music but you could see yourself and you could go oh wait that doesn't look good or that does look good or that oh there's a wrinkle if i do that that's what i think of when i think of stephen myself this outside kind of more natural almost vote cover is i think a little bit different than most of the work that i've done with steven but i love it i love the styling again it's taking chanel and making it like look like just like the cool girl next door would be wearing it oh my goodness okay so even though i'm not an actress i did a movie called fair game with billy baldwin i played a lawyer which was a bit of a stretch actually i got annoyed one critique of me said as if she could be a lawyer and i thought that was so offensive because i thought i could have been a lawyer i just you know i was valedictorian i i did go to chemical engineering you know school at northwestern but ended up you know getting into modeling but it was kind of let's say a little bit far-fetched that is not me acting that is actually me an actual terror as things are exploding behind me i was outside of my comfort zone every single day i learned a lot on that film and it was fun and i have made like lifelong friends but it just wasn't my my thing okay so this was 2018 heavenly bodies met ball it's funny because part of me was like maybe i should go i don't know like try something different i think look i love this dress i felt great in this dress it moved it was comfortable again versace just fits me i do sometimes feel like oh maybe i should be a little more of a risk taker with fashion like in this one i could be at the oscars i could be anywhere and i think sometimes i think oh maybe i should have i don't put wings on or whatever it was heavenly bodies i don't know but i love the dress what's interesting about the met ball is sometimes someone will get invited but they won't get invited with a plus one i remember that my ball that we we ran into a few people i think one for instance was ansel elgort and he wasn't there with anybody and we're like okay ansel like we were like gathering like this kind of like the singles or the strays around us because it's very intimidating being there by yourself and i guess maybe because i've been that person before that if i see someone i'll go up and you know try to to get them you know because it's it's horrible to feel you know especially like that's a very powerful room oh so this is when kaya got a fashion award after you know her one year of modeling she was so excited to be wearing a mcqueen dress in this i was like yes i'm still cindy crawford but tonight i want to be kaia's mom the last thing i wanted to do is look like i'm competing with my you know 17 year old daughter so i love this dress this is marquesa it was elegant and chic but not trying to be a show stopper for sure i mean kaya has even when she was little you know well we would play she would always want to play dress up and we'd go in my closet and she'd pick you know some like dolce dress or some thing and i would pin it on her and then i would do crazy hair makeup and then we would do like a photo shoot and she would do with her friends too so it was really fun so she definitely it wasn't totally surprising to me that she wanted to get into modeling i'm proud of kaya just for who she is i mean modeling is just one small aspect of who she is the best advice i give both my kids not only about modeling show up on time be prepared and stay off your phone it's so easy now just to like sit there and scroll instagram while you're getting your hair done or your makeup done but i think those relationships that i made in the makeup chair or backstage or whatever those added so much to my my life thank you so much vogue for letting me reminisce about my life and looks and thanks all of you for watching
