CINDY CRAWFORD COVERS ELLE CANADA

Cindy Crawford Covers ELLE Canada

For the October issue of ELLE Canada, Cindy Crawford is bringing us back to the 90’s looking as gorgeous and confident than ever. Photographed by Max Abadian, the mom of two talks about balancing between her life at home and work, having no regrets, and her approval of ‘filters’:

Whether you’re a celebrity or not, there’s a certain social pressure to post images tagged #nomakeup or #loveyourlines. “I can have no makeup on and do a selfie in great lighting or ugly lighting. If I choose good lighting, is that bad? It goes back to what is real. If someone wants to wear makeup and that makes them feel good, fantastic. If they feel great with nothing on, that’s fantastic too. If someone wants to use a filter, that’s fine—I would! Even some of those people who say ‘Hey, I love my lines’ probably took five pictures of themselves and chances are they picked the one that they think looks the best. To me, that kind of editing is the art. And putting on a filter is an art—just like hair and makeup. Do I think that sometimes retouching is abused? Yes, but if an artist paints a woman who has acne and he chooses not to show that, is that inauthentic? Is that not art anymore? To me, it’s the same with photography.”
