Cindy Crawford has decided to stop her daughter Kaia Gerber's modelling career.
The 10-year-old Gerber recently caused a sensation in the fashion world when she was featured in a decadent Young Versace photo campaign.
Crawford told Fashion Week Daily: "At this point, she's too young to pursue a career. There aren't even a handful of jobs for a 10-year-old girl. But if she's 17 and wants to try it, of course, what can I say?"
Earlier this year, designer Donatella Versace said of Gerber: "Like her mother, Kaia has a very special gift. The camera really, really loves her."
About her daughter's future plans, Crawford added: "[Kaia] kind of jokingly said, 'I might model first because you don't know how to do anything, but then I want to be a baby nurse'."
Cindy Crawford began a successful modelling career at the age of 17.
Since then, the 46-year-old mother has said she has "lost touch" with modelling, and is now focusing on her family and other avenues outside fashion.
