Kaia Gerber Calls Cindy Crawford’s Nude Photos a Childhood ‘Gift’ in New Interview

Playboy marked the remarks by resurfacing images from Crawford’s 1988 Herb Ritts pictorial.

Overview

  • In Harper’s Bazaar’s February issue, the 24-year-old says nude portraits of her mother hung in the family home and felt artistic rather than objectifying.
  • She describes growing up without shame around the female body as foundational to her confidence.
  • Playboy responded with a website tribute featuring throwbacks from Crawford’s July 1988 “Skinsuits” cover shoot by Herb Ritts.
  • Gerber recounts a largely low-key childhood that shifted at 15 when Donatella Versace tapped her for a campaign, prompting homeschooling as work increased.
  • She says Crawford offers frank guidance only when asked, and Crawford has previously said she regretted nude shoots she was talked into.
