Kaia Gerber Makes Her CR Fashion Book Debut
Kaia Gerber has begun taking the fashion world by storm. Just a week after her landing her first modeling contract with IMG Models and her editorial debut in Vogue Italia’s July 2015 issue photographed by Steven Meisel, the 13 year old has been featured in a new magazine spread for the latest issue of Carine Roitfeld’s glossy CR Fashion Book.
‘Thanks @bruce_weber and @carineroitfeld for including my kiddies in the upcoming @crfashionbook! #siblinglove,’ Cindy Crawford posted on Instagram.
Shot by famed photographer Bruce Weber and styled by Carine herself, the lookalike of her mother supermodel Cindy Crawford appears alongside 15-year-old brother, Presley Walker Gerber, and male model Garrett Taber. Sporting a Versace sweater, a bedazzled skirt and a pair of bright green thigh-high boots, the up-and-coming model looks like a pro.
Roifield, who was one of the first to cast Gigi Hadid and photographed her with sister Bella for a spread notes that the decision to shoot a fashion family together hits close to home. ‘Of course Kaia signing a contract with a model agency is a big deal. Beauty runs in their blood–Presley’s even got Cindy’s same mole on the cheek! But I wanted to focus on both the kids, the daughter Kaia and the brother Presley. To me, that makes the full story more interesting,’ she explained.
‘It is just like how people talk about my daughter, Julia, and me, for example, saying we look alike, but it’s more interesting to me when you look at her and my son, Vladimir, together. I like the idea of the brother-and-sister duo born with fashion in their blood. I found them to be very polite and from a very good background for their age. I am not that surprised–I have known Cindy, their mom, since my days at Elle Magazine. We never know if they will end up in fashion in the end…but this story is proof that the apple never falls very far from the tree.’
The shoot marks Kaia’s second major editorial spread, her first being her debut in the August 2015 issue of Vogue Italia. Check out her full interview at CR Fashion Book and sound of on twitter @fmd1_com using the hashtag #lovefmd.
