est people by several polls and at one point was
one of the fashion world’s highest paid stars.
Today, in addition to her book, Crawford focuses on
other important roles—mother (she has two teenage
children with former model Rande Gerber) and entrepreneur. Currently, she is the co-creator and spokesperson
for Meaningful Beauty, a line of beauty products, and
she creates and promotes the Cindy Crawford Home
Collection—a series of home goods and furniture. She’s
also a spokesperson for a variety of brands and products.

“The next chapter is the businesses I’m working on.... And
I also like championing other people,” Crawford says to
the Los Angeles Times. “The beginning of my career, it
was like, you’re a model, they say ‘put this on’ and you
do it. Then I got to develop my own businesses and projects, and now I like partnering with or being involved with
projects that are less ego-centric but still interesting, or that
I can add something to because you do learn a lot over
the years. Also, my kids will be gone before I know it, so
over the next five years I want to focus on helping them.”
Crawford’s two kids (Presley Walker Gerber and
Kaia Gerber) are both following in her fashionable footsteps as up and coming models.
Through all of her career’s milestones, Crawford is
adamant that modeling is just one part of who she is.

“Like I say in my book, modeling’s what I do–it’s not
who I am,” she told The Globe and Mail. “So my whole
world and identity was not caught up in being seen at
the right parties and wearing the right designers. I love
fashion. And I made great friends and I traveled the
world and I made money. I’ve had so many great experiences, but that’s just one aspect of my life.”
