Cindy Crawford launches book of photos and life lessons, Becoming
With a 50th birthday looming, supermodel releases memoir spanning her 30-year-plus career
US model Cindy Crawford – one of the original supermodels – has released a photographic memoir, Becoming.
The book spans her 30-year-plus career, with 50 images and 50 life lessons she learned along the way , from starting out in a small town in the state of Illinois to moving to New York and hitting it big.
The 49-year-old attributes much of her continued success to treating modelling like a job, not a lifestyle. “I was on time, I worked hard and came prepared,” she said. “I would give that advice to anyone and not just in the modelling industry, but in any profession.”
Writing Becoming was not on Crawford’s bucket list.
“Publishers approached me over the years, and I didn’t want to do another make-up book and I had done the workout videos. I didn’t have anything new to say there,” explained Crawford, who has a skincare company, Meaningful Beauty. “I also didn’t want to do another big coffee table book that you look through once and put back on the shelf.”
