Cindy Crawford says she would let daughter model again for 'right' job

Washington, Mar 9 (ANI): Cindy Crawford was rumored to have put a stop to 10-year-old daughter Kaia's career, but she said that while she might be protective, she would not stop her daughter from pursuing her dream.

The mother-of-two, who is married to businessman Rande Gerber, believes that the experience gave Kaia a chance to learn about the less glamorous side of modeling.

"I got called by Donatella Versace's PR person, who I know because I've worked for Versace for years, and they said, 'We're launching this new kids line, we'd love to have Kaia," Contactmusic quoted her as telling Access Hollywood.

"And of course, I'm like protective mama, so I said, 'Who is doing the pictures?' I said, 'I don't want her looking like a tart. She can't wear makeup," she added.

But the model was assured that it is for a children's line only.

"I knew it would be great and thought it could be a good thing for her to try, which she has been saying, 'I would like to try'. And we did it and she loved it," Crawford said.

"We weren't launching her modelling career, it was just one thing. And then it got interpreted as like, 'I'm reeling her back'.

"If it was the right - again, I'm going to hold the bar so high for her, in terms of photographers and stuff, because I know. And she doesn't need to do it at age 10. But if there was some incredible opportunity, why not?," she added.

"The great thing was, she came away from that going, 'It's kind of hard, Mom. It was work.

"I keep saying to her, 'I don't even need to show up for work anymore. I'm sending you from now on," she said. (ANI)
