FASHION TV IN DEVELOPMENT
Inside the '80s Modeling Wars
Cindy Crawford—supermodel, skincare infomercial guru, home décor designer, all-around genetically blessed human—is developing a TV show for NBC about the modeling world in the 1980s.
It’s a world Crawford knows well. The series—tentatively titled “Icon”—will take a fictitious look the fierce rivalry between Ford Modeling Agency (now called Ford Models) and Elite Model Management (which represented Crawford).
This isn’t the first time Crawford has provided a glimpse behind the scenes of the fashion industry. In 1995, she appeared in Isaac Mizrahi’s “Unzipped” and “Cat Walk” And from 1989 to 1995, she was the host of MTV’s House of Style (which MTV has thoughtfully archived here. Enjoy the '90s style flashback.)
For the new show, Crawford says she’s is going to be strictly behind the camera as producer.
