Fashion boutique? No, Cindy’s wardrobe!

- By Susie Coen Showbusine­ss Reporter

EVERYONE has a favourite outfit they like to keep squirrelle­d away as a memento.

After 30 years at the top of the fashion game, Cindy Crawford has a walkin wardrobe full of them.

Now the supermodel has given fans a glimpse inside – and revealed the fascinatin­g stories behind the iconic outfits.

The clothes – everything from her wedding dress to her first Chanel jacket – are perfectly organised in a grand white room at her Malibu home which contains more items than most fashion boutiques.

In a video tour of the wardrobe for Vogue, Miss Crawford, 51, explained how the John Galliano slip dress she wore to wed her second husband, Rande Gerber, 55, was picked out by a stylist who knew nothing of the occasion. The model could not go ‘wedding shopping’ as she did not want to give away the news, so she pretended to the stylist that she needed something for a black and white party.

He came to the house with a collection of dresses and she fell in love with a £900 Galliano dress. ‘It was just perfect because my husband’s a leg man and we were getting married on the beach so I wasn’t wearing shoes or anything,’ she said.

The star was quick to show off the Versace bandage dress she wore to the MTV Video Music Awards in 1992. She said she had asked to borrow the striking skin-tight dress after becoming ‘obsessed’ with it when she saw it on the catwalk.

She also kept the shorts she wore for a memorable Pepsi ad 25 years ago. The commercial showed two boys gawping at her as she drank the cola while wearing the shorts with a white bodice.

She revealed they were simply made by cutting her own pair of jeans. Another piece she keeps as a souvenir is the first Chanel jacket she ever owned, which was given to her by Karl Lagerfeld.

Miss Crawford, who appeared on the cover of 50 Vogue magazines during her career, also showed her Fendi, Louis Vuitton and Judith Leiber evening bags which she described as ‘like jewellery’. She also has an extensive jean collection which is organised by colour and style.
