JUST days before she jets into the country for the first time in 10 years, US beauty Cindy Crawford has revealed she worries about whether her model daughter Kaia Gerber will achieve the same success she did.

“The only concern I have for her, and it isn’t an issue, is that in the modelling world I hit the top, and if she doesn’t it might be a lot of pressure for her,” Crawford told Vogue Australia.

“If you have a successful parent and you go into the same business but if you’re not more successful, then what?”

Crawford’s 15-year-old daughter is fast making a name for herself in the modelling industry, having already worked for big brands including Teen Vogue and Marc Jacobs.

Crawford, who was one of the world’s five original supermodels, also confessed she believed having Kaia and son Presley, 17, would be detrimental to her career.

“I literally thought having kids would be the end of my career,” she said.

“My mum put on a little bit of weight with each kid and she never took it off and I thought it could happen to me. It was scary.”

The fashion icon is set to arrive in Australia early this week ahead of her appearance as the guest of honour at a black-tie Omega event on Friday, which will be attended by friend-of-Omega, Jarrod Scott, along with newly married Jesinta and Buddy Franklin and Vogue Australia Editor-in-Chief, Edwina McCann.

Crawford will open Omega’s newest Boutique located in Martin Place and the brand’s ‘Her Time’ Exhibition.

Vogue’s March issue starring Crawford will go on sale on Monday February 13.
