“I like to work. The self-esteem and satisfaction that I get from working makes me a better person, which makes me a better mom…”

Crawford is a devoted mother to her two children and continues to endorse a variety of entrepreneurial and charitable projects. In 2005, she created a line of beauty products with Jean-Louis Sebagh called Meaningful Beauty. She plans on continuing to develop her home accessory and furniture businesses as well as expanding her product range in the beauty industry.

“If I had to label my supermodel moment, I would say it was that Versace show when Naomi, Linda, Christy, and I all came out together. We had just done the George Michael video for “Freedom,” and George was in the front row, and we came out skipping and holding hands. It felt like the stars had aligned.”

Cindy Crawford first came to Mexico’s Baja Peninsula twenty- five years ago for a fashion photo shoot and is now a part-time resident. Crawford and her husband Rande Gerber teamed with longtime friend and business partner George Clooney to build stunning side-by-side oceanfront retreats where family and friends come together for holidays. The name of this compound, ‘Casamigos’ or House of Friends, says it all. It is also the brand name of Gerber’s and Clooney’s collective venture in award-winning premium Tequilas.
