photography by justin bare (Crawford and skrebneski) Victor Skrebneski: So what is your favorite place in Chicago, besides my studio? Cindy Crawford: [Laughs] Your studio is probably one of the places I've spent the most time. What I love about coming back to Chicago is trying new places—the last couple of times I've come back, I went to Girl and the Goat, and that whole area is just changing so much. Every time I come back to Chicago there's some new, hot area to check out. And then I also just like to walk around. Even walking Oak Street or Michigan Avenue—all of that brings back so many memories. Do you shop here? You know what's funny? I've kind of lost my interest in shopping. I haven't bought anything for 30 years. It's funny because, as you know, I was just back at your studio in the spring and I was kidding [your assistant] Dennis [Minkel] that it's the same coffee cups from 20 years ago. And I love that. I think when you get older you invest more in things that you really love and can have for a long time. I agree. Do you miss Chicago at all, living in California? I miss the people. I definitely miss being close to my mother, my sister, and my grandmother. In the '80s, Cindy Crawford took the modeling world by storm. These days, the DeKalb native is still turning heads—not just as a beauty, but also as a philanthropist, designer, and working mother of two. In an exclusive interview for Michigan Avenue with her friend and fre- quent collaborator, legendary fashion photographer Victor Skrebneski, Crawford candidly reflects on her early modeling days, her design partnership with Art Van Furniture, and her continued love for the city of Chicago. photogr aphy by andrew Macpherson styling by robert behar beauty Meaningful 108  michiganavemag.com
