Cindy in Advertising

All- American Girl Who Shocked Schoolmates With Her First Swimsuit Shoot
"She was just wearing a very brief bikini", Cheryl Arundel recalled, in "an ad for Marshall Field`s. It was so sensational, kids plastered it on every bulletin board and wall at De Kalb High. Cindy was an A student and was totally embarrassed but after that, she was the girl everyone wanted to date."

Grosvenor Fur, Ultimo, I. Magnin, Roz & Sherm, etc ... some of the campaigns that she make throughout 1984 - 1985 working with Victor Skrebneski.

Due to Michael's uncanny ability to discover the superstars of the future, the young Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington, Stephanie Seymour and Karen Mulder have graced the cover of past North Beach Leather catalogs.

12/2000 Cindy had served as the face of the cosmetics company for the past 11 years but now Revlon decided not to renew her contract. "I feel the baby was thrown out with the bath water.
