Kaia Is A Young Cindy’s Double In Calvin Klein’s Spring Campaign

Were it not for her tousled bob, tiny tattoos, and the absence of a beauty spot on her upper lip, the star of Calvin Klein’s new campaign could easily be mistaken for a young Cindy Crawford. In fact it’s her daughter, Kaia Gerber, who is the mirror image of her supermodel mother in the pared-back ’90s imagery. Gerber’s dark hazel eyes, bushy brows and pert lips are uncannily close to the features that made Cindy a CK muse back in her heyday. Crawford was a runway regular for the brand, and Kaia herself walked for Calvin Klein during her first ever show stint for the autumn/winter 2018 season.

Snaps shared by Kaia on Instagram show the rising star posing in soft cotton separates – adorned with Calvin’s signature elasticated band – and fresh denim for the spring shoot, photographed by Ryan McGinley. Other images show Gerber in a woven shirt, snow-white stomper boots and denim cut-offs – not dissimilar to a young Cindy’s signature Daisy Dukes.

It’s already been a busy spring for Kaia. Just a week ago, it was announced that she will make her acting debut in the 10th season of American Horror Story. Her casting was confirmed by the Netflix show’s writer, Ryan Murphy, who announced it on Instagram. “If I’m dreaming this, don’t wake me up,” Gerber commented on the post.

Prior to that, she starred alongside Helena Bonham Carter, Laila and Nadia Gohar, Paloma Elsesser, Francesca Hayward, Barry Keoghan, Rowan Blanchard, Kelsey Lu and Omari Douglas in an augmented reality pop-up book, to mark the launch of Simone Rocha’s collaboration with H&M.
