SUPER TROOPER

Cindy Crawford has graced the cover of Harper's BAZAAR Singapore on three different occasions (December 2005, September 2011 and February 2020).

January 2024 marks the supermodel's fourth cover since that first time, nearly 20 years ago. In a barrier-breaking career marked by countless milestones, from high profile campaigns, music videos and commercials to her own beauty line, it's nice for a title to have that personal connection to one of the most famous and well-recognised faces in the industry.

The first question I ask Crawford is how her relationship with BAZAAR's editor-in-chief Kenneth Goh first began. "I first met Kenneth in 2005 in Kuala Lumpur. I was there with Omega watches and had the opportunity to do a BAZAAR cover with Kenneth and photographer Simon Upton. We shot at a cool, old mansion called Carcosa Seri Negara. We all had a great rapport and I loved the images we created. We have had the opportunity to work together three more times since then and also, Kenneth and I run into each other in Paris and other places during fashion events," she shares.

Crawford was most recently spotlighted in the Apple TV+ documentary The Super Models alongside her fellow supers: Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell and Linda Evangelista. Growing up in the era of supermodels and revisiting the imagery alone was a nostalgic experience for me as a viewer, so I can only imagine the impact going down memory lane must have had for the four women themselves. Beyond just chronicling the time when the fab four reigned as fashion icons and perhaps, the original influencers of their time, the documentary was a way for the supermodels to take charge of their own narratives and the way they were characterised (and even mischaracterised) by the media.
