Kaia in Vogue Spain June 2025: "Why did I try so hard not to be like someone I admire so much?”

Kaia in Vogue Spain on Cindy: "Why did I try so hard not be like someone I admire so much?” AOC Fashion

Top talent, top model and top human dedicated to learning about our world, Kaia Gerber is absolutely a humanist ‘in the making’.

Today Kaia Gerber covers the June 2025 issue of Vogue Spain, lensed by Amy Troost [IG]. Max Ortega styles the ‘Overcompensating’ [Amazon Prime] series actor in Altuzarra, Gabriela Hearst, Mango, Phoebe Philo, Prada, Sportmax and more. The extensive Mango selects are from Gerber’s current collab with the Spanish brand.

Whenever Kaia shows up, she’s rarely makes herself the center of attention — which is not to suggest that Gerber hasn’t become a ‘10 Fire Emojis’ public figure.

Lit on ‘Ls’

Not only is Kaia lit, she’s lit on literature, learning, her Library Science [IG] bookclub and loving fellow humans very different from herself. The mega-talent in-the-making won AOC over in the i-D Spring 2020 Icons Issue, where Kaia Gerber chatted with her new friend and ‘Slave Play’ playwright Jeremy O. Harris.

The actor, literature lover and top model talent shares very unique insights into her relationship with mom Cindy Crawford:

"Well, there was a period in which I actively tried to differentiate myself from my mother and chart my own path," she recalls . . . "I think that resistance didn't help me find myself at all, because when you actively work against something, you get the opposite. Until one day I thought: "Why do I try so hard not to be like someone I admire so much? As soon as I stopped trying, the path revealed itself," she explains.
