“I don’t think it’s a topic that will go away, so I’ve clearly reached a point of acceptance,” the 22-year-old said of her privilege in a cover story forWSJ. Magazine’sSpring 2024 Women’s Fashion Issue(out Feb. 17).

“I can actually ask my parents [for] advice on career things, on business things,” Gerber said. “That’s very rare, to have parents who are in the same industry or career as you, whose advice you actually can trust.”
“I was like, ‘I didn’t realize. I knew you were iconic, but….’ I didn’t understand when I was younger,” Gerber said, adding that, after watching the series, she saw Crawford’s ambition, wit and focus in a whole new light. “What she made of her career, there wasn’t really someone’s footsteps to follow.”

While attending thePlanet Omega exhibitionin November, Gerber told PEOPLE that she feels she and Crawford have formed a “really strong bond and friendshipoutside of just a mother-daughter dynamic, which has been so fun for me over the last few years.”
Although she did confess that her “cool mom” is still capable of embarrassing her. She added: “But it’s good! It brings me back down to earth… I probably embarrass her constantly as well.”
