Cindy Crawford Slams Modelling Industry

Former supermodel Cindy Crawford has spoken out about current modelling industry standards, saying she believes it would be hard for today's generation of models to establish a career.

In an interview with Parade magazine, Crawford said that actresses and singers are dominating commercial jobs, leaving models out in the cold.

"I just saw the Covergirl commercial with Taylor Swift and I thought, 'Wow, it is so hard for models to get a job these days,'" Crawford explained. "You have to sing and act, too. There doesn't seem to be as much work specifically just for models."

Crawford also expressed concern for the younger generation of models saying, "when I was modelling, size 6 was a normal size and now it's like 2 or 0."

Despite being one of the original 90s 'supermodels', a group that included Naomi Campbell Kate Moss, Claudia Schiffer and Linda Evangelista, 42-year old Crawford acknowledged she was now "past her peak," and that happiness was the most important thing to her.

"I don't look the same as I did 20 years ago, nor should I," conceded Crawford. "Sometimes I get that little pang, like "Oh, bummer, I wish I did". But at the same time, I see my children and I see them growing up and I look at my husband and the marriage that we've worked on and have together, and if all that is good and working, it's a lot easier to be kind to your little fine lines or where gravity's gotten the better of you."
