Fashion is On

Model Cindy Crawford is extending her brand with a new line of fine jewelry priced from $79 to $299 that will be exclusive to J.C. Penneybeginning in April.

The One Kiss by Cindy Crawford collection will launch with 45 pieces. Necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings are made from sterling silver and gold-plated silver featuring a henna symbol that means “to kiss.” Some pieces have diamonds, smoky quartz, lemon quartz, garnet-colored rhodolite and deep purple iolite.

This is the 44-year-old model turned entrepreneur’s second venture with Plano-based Penney. Last year, Penney started selling her Cindy Crawford Style brand of home furnishings and accessories, a line that offers window coverings to recently added outdoor furniture.

Fashion photography from the pages of magazines Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar will go on display in New York this week in an exhibition which captures how models have helped shape the modern ideals of beauty.

Famous names from the industry, including Marc Jacobs, the designer, Kate Moss, the model, and Vogue editor Anna Wintour, will launch the exhibition at the annual Costume Institute of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the lavish Spring gala.

The show focuses on the years 1947 to 1997 and celebrates the models who epitomised each decade, such as Dovima, Twiggy and Cindy Crawford, and includes a selection of garments made famous by the catwalk stars who wore them.

Born in DeKalb, Illinois, to John “Dan” Crawford and Jennifer Sue Walker Crawford in 1966, Cindy Crawford’s trademark is a visible mole (or “beauty mark”) on her upper lip.

She was discovered by chance by a newspaper photographer, who noticed then-16-year-old Cindy at work during her summer job of pollinating corn and took a picture of her. The photo and the positive feedback she received were enough to convince her to take up modeling. She entered the John Casablancas Look of the Year contest and was the runner up.

Crawford graduated from DeKalb High School in 1984, as valedictorian with a 4.0 GPA. She won an academic scholarship to study chemical engineering at Northwestern University, which she attended for only one quarter. She dropped out in order to pursue a full-time modeling career. After working for photographer Victor Skrebneski in Chicago, Cindy moved to Manhattan in 1986.

Her brother died at a young age from leukemia, and Crawford has made childhood leukemia a focal point of her charity work, donating proceeds of her calendars to medical research.
