    Records

    Crawford stands as one of the most successful models to transition into business. She has appeared on over 1,000 magazine covers, a feat matched by few. Her furniture line grosses over $250 million annually, and her skincare brand Meaningful Beauty remains a market leader after two decades. She was a pioneer in using television (House of Style) to build a personality beyond print, and she helped establish the template for models to become entrepreneurs. Her inclusion in the 2023 documentary The Super Models reaffirmed her place in fashion history.
