CINDY CRAWFORD has brought her 10-year-old daughter’s modeling career to a screeching halt recently after public outcry over the underage model trend started to unnerve her.
The 45-year-old former supermodel was initially excited over her daughter, Kaia Gerber‘s first modeling contract as the face of Versace‘s brand new children’s line. However, photos like the one above, portrayed Kaia as over-sexualized in heavy makeup and a thigh-high skirt, which only added to the uproar at the New York Fashion Week over the child model trend in Europe that has spilled over to the U.S. So Crawford decided to pull the plug on Kaia‘s fledgling modeling career…
And it wasn’t so much the child models, some as young as nine, strutting down the catwalk or posing for fashion photo shoots, as it was for the fact that the girls often wore adult-style makeup and clothes. Kaia Gerber, whose modeling photos catapulted her to international stardom, followed by rounds of loud criticism over her inappropriate garb, caused her modeling career to be cut short, courtesy of her mother.
“At this point, she’s too young to pursue a career. There aren’t even a handful of jobs for a 10-year-old girl,”
Crawford told Fashion Week Daily.
Kaia Gerber, it turns out, wasn’t miffed over her mother’s decision either. Apparently, she had other plans for her future that didn’t include modeling:
“I might model first because you don’t have to know how to do anything, but then I want to be a baby nurse.”
The preteen said.
Cindy Crawford, stage mom much?
