Looks like Kaia Gerber is going to have to wait a few years before she becomes a supermodel like her mom!
After attracting massive amounts of attention for her Young Versace advertising campaign, Cindy Crawford has revealed that she is putting her 10-year-old’s modeling career on hold – and RadarOnline.com has the details.

“At this point, she’s too young to pursue a career,” the 45-year-old supermodel told The Daily about her “mini me”. “There aren’t even a handful of jobs for a 10-year-old girl.”
However, Crawford isn’t against the idea of Kaia following in her footsteps down the catwalk in the future.

“But if she’s 17 and wants to try it, of course, what can I say?”
Crawford continued about her daughter: “She kind of jokingly said - I'm not even sure if it was jokingly - 'I might model first because you don't have to know how to do anything, but then I want to be a baby nurse.' “

"I'm so thrilled that Kaia was chosen to be part of the first Young Versace campaign,” Cindy stated in a press release about Kaia’s Versace campaign at the time of release.
“I have so many fond memories of the times I spent with Gianni and Donatella. There is something so very special about the House of Versace. Being on-set with my daughter watching her in front of the camera was a fantastic experience. I am so proud of her."

She did that because “There aren’t even a handful of jobs for a 10-year-old girl." not because she is too young.

Good! NO child needs that kind of pressure that some celebs put on trying to push their own children into the model and entertainment industry. Bad enough pageant moms do it, just let kids and teens be kids and teens, that is enough pressure.

That she allowed her daughter to ever pose publicly tells me she's stupid and irresponsible.

Thank God she did this. I am a mother to a 10-year-old daughter who is beautiful---10 times prettier than I ever was, and people have mentioned modeling for her. The criticism and eating disorders involved with this industry are so frightening.

Pimping out your 10 year old for the kiddie porn pervs. Mom & Dad, stick to your guns on this issue and keep her out of modeling.

I was shocked and dismayed when I saw this 10 year old child in the Versace ads and deeply disappointed in her mother for allowing it to happen in the first place. Thankfully, it seems Mom may regret it too.
