Crawford - Thinks she would not have become a supermodel in 2009

Cindy Crawford has said that she “would not have become a supermodel in 2009" because she had too “normal” a body to be successful in today’s size 0 obsessed fashion industry.

She was one of the highest-paid models in the 80s and 90s, and her trademark beauty spot above her lip got her booked for some of the most impressive advertising campaigns in the world.

But she believes the fashion industry would have no room for her these days. She said that her body “with big breasts, normal thighs and toned upper arms” is no longer what the industry wants today.

However, Crawford is quite comfortable with her size. She told German mag Bunte: “That’s why I like being in my 40s so much. Being at peace with yourself, knowing about your strengths beyond being pretty.”
