It was in the mid-80s, when an 18 year old, with long dark hair, 177 cm tall and a black olive tree above her brim, began to make an appearance on the catwalks. It was the period when the fashion world was desperately trying to fill the void left by Gia Caranji and the promotion of Cindy Crawford was considered by many to be the best choice.

It’s no coincidence that at the beginning of her career she was affectionately called “Baby Gia” – but soon everyone realized that she was much more. Soon, together with Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Tatiana Pattig and Linda Evangelista, they made the “golden generation” of supermodels that dominated the catwalks and fashion magazines until the late 90s.

And in the following years, no one dared to give her a nickname. It was just Cindy Crawford.

In 2000, at the age of 34, she decided to retire from the catwalks, leaving room for young people, but she never ceased to be a “fashion girl“. She created her own brand of beauty items and whenever she wanted to let off steam – or remind the younger ones who the “queen” is – she made a guest pass through fashion shows and magazine covers.

As was the case on Saturday night, when he returned to the catwalk after four years, for the most impressive Gucci show on the streets of New York.
