Supermodel Cindy Crawford warned her daughter, a young 14 year old aspiring model Kaia, about the pressures of being in the industry.

"Today, models are expected to be so tiny and I worry about that for her, because that was never my natural body type and I don't think it'll be hers either. Still, I'll say to her, 'Enjoy carbs while you can!'" said Cindy.
"Kaia's blossoming into such a beautiful young woman and I really want to let her shine. I don't want her to feel in competition with me, although I'll tease her, and say, 'You have my old hair–give it back!' Or, 'Give me back my legs!' But she'll be fine...She's much more together and worldly than I was at her age."
"Fashion and makeup should just be for fun. And somehow it has moved away from that," she said of today's modeling standards and methods. "These days, images that are meant to inspire and make women feel happy to be women sometimes have the opposite effect. They had better learn to sing and act, too, because it's not really enough to just be a model anymore. They want people with a following, and social media has helped because models like Cara [Delevingne], Coco[Rocha] and Gigi [Hadid] can have their own voices and talk to fans directly. There are more pathways available to them than we had."
