Crawford criticised as daughter models swimwear
Supermodel Cindy Crawford has caused controversy by allowing her five-year-old daughter to model a new swimwear range.
Kaya, Crawford's daughter with Rande Gerber, poses topless and in a string bikini, showing off a tattoo on her lower back in the ads for Melissa Odabash beachwear.
Odabash has been inundated with so much criticism, the company has removed the pictures of Kaya from its website.
"We've gotten calls from all over the place," said Spokesperson Roberta Correia. "Unfortunately, we are not able to release any of the pictures or info on the Melissa Odabash shoot. The pictures are actually no longer going to be on the website."
But Crawford's representative insists the issue has been blown out of proportion, telling PageSix.com, "Oh my God, that's ridiculous. It's a stick-on tattoo."
She even claimed the pictures weren't meant to be used in adverts, adding: "Cindy's friends own this company. It was just a fun little photo shoot they did in Malibu one day. Kaya is not modelling."
