After more than 20 years in the business, Cindy Crawford is officially set to retire.

The supermodel is calling time on her successful career because she doesn’t want to keep “proving” herself.

“I’m sure I’ll have my picture taken for 10 more years, but not as a model anymore,” Crawford told United Airlines’ Rhapsody magazine. “And that’s OK. I’ve done it. I’ve worked with all these incredible photographers.

“What else do I need to do? I can’t keep reinventing myself. I shouldn’t have to keep proving myself. I don’t want to.”

Crawford, who quit modelling full-time in 2000, recently admitted she is planning to "embrace" being 50 and wants to grow old gracefully.

"Women like Helen Mirren and Jane Fonda, they look amazing and they look appropriate,” she said.

“They look amazing but they're not trying to look 30. I don't want to be trying to compete with my 14-year-old daughter [Kaia Gerber] - because I would lose!

"I always thought, 'When can I just let it all go?' It's just never. There is no age now! It was the aspect of embracing turning 50 and celebrating the past, but at the same time I am embracing where I am."

Crawford leaves behind quite the legacy – as part of the notorious "supers" gang of the 80s and 90s, which also included Naomi Campbell and Claudia Schiffer, she’s arguably one of the world’s most famous faces. In addition, her daughter, Kaia is fast following in her model footsteps - but not before she had a proper childhood first.

"(My mum) told me she would support me regardless of what I decided, but I'm so glad that I actually got to be a kid before having to grow up,” Gerber said recently. “My mum knows best about this kind of thing.”
