She is one of the world’s most famous supermodels.
He is a nightclub impresario. She is a control freak.
He is a perfectionist. Together they have a beautiful beach house in
Malibu, Calif., two children, busy careers, looks, fame and money.
It’s easy to envy their lifestyle, but Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber are
set on making their style available to everyone–with a splash and a twist.
Now the supermodel and the super-entrepreneur are headed
to Atlanta for the opening of Whiskey Park in Midtown.
On a chilly Monday afternoon in Los Angeles, Cindy Crawford and her husband of 10 years,
Rande Gerber, are preparing for their JEZEBEL photo shoot. The couple raises the temperature
in any room they enter. Crawford, flanked by several handlers, is at Stone Rose Lounge (one of
Gerber’s chic nightspots) in Hollywood’s Sofitel Hotel. Although smack dab on the edge of one
of L.A.’s busiest streets, the corner of La Cienega and Beverly boulevards, it is an oasis of cool,
with cozy postmodern décor that flows into a row of exterior beachy cabanas, complete with fire
pit and waterfall.
Heads swivel as Crawford strides in–she is more of a “strider” than a walker, moving with
firmness and poise–wearing a white baby doll dress that exposes her considerable cleavage and
a pair of sexy stilettos. She is tall (5 feet, 9 inches), square-shouldered and voluptuous; wears
a direct gaze; and flaunts her signature brown mane to perfection.
Crawford’s good looks, especially her shoulder-length (casually
layered and seemingly maintenance-free) tresses, are almost
unchanged from the time she first appeared on the covers of magazines
worldwide. But what’s different about the pretty face everyone
recognizes is her newfound calling as a domestic diva.
Since marrying Gerber and having kids, 8-year-old Presley
and 6-year-old Kaia, Crawford has enjoyed motherhood, and even
appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show armed with her strawberry rhubarb
pie recipe. She’s been decorating her Malibu home and
supporting her husband’s meteoric rise to celeb status as the man
behind The Whiskey, the Stone Rose Lounge and various other
swanky watering holes in W Hotels and others across the country.
