For Kaia, A Privileged Life Is an Artistic Life

Kaia Gerber has never hesitated to admit her privileged upbringing, anchored in a robust, loving and supportive family life. How many grown young women with Kaia’s level of accomplishment call their mothers their best friend?

Kaia has always described privilege in a more intellectual way — a childhood where ideas, books, and culture were embedded in daily life.

On Cindy Crawford’s Parenting Style

In her Bazaar interview, Kaia sheds more light on her mother’s parental style:

“She doesn’t give out advice unless you ask. But if you ask, get ready, because she’ll be very honest in ways that, sometimes, it’s hard to hear,” says Gerber. “She’s usually right, which is infuriating, but she’s also very willing to let me make a mistake that she made 30 years ago.”

On Being an Old Soul

Moving away from family to her own professional life, Kaia Gerber knows that people underestimate her.

“I don’t think people realize that she’s in on the joke,” says Alyssa Reeder, Gerber’s partner in their book club Library Science, officially launched in March 2024. “She knows very well — as maybe a lot of young women do — that allowing people to underestimate you can be very powerful.”

Reeder reminds us that young women comfortable with being underestimated are most often ‘old souls’.
