The fashion world is in mourning following the tragic passing of Presley Gerber, the son of supermodel Cindy Crawford, at the age of 27. According to the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner, Gerber passed away while staying at a rehabilitation facility, though an official cause of death has not yet been released. A representative for Crawford confirmed the heartbreaking news to CNN, stating that the family is requesting privacy during this profoundly painful time.
Open Struggles and Mental Health
In recent years, Gerber had spoken openly about his struggles with mental health and substance use. Last December, he shared a candid video discussing his use of prescription medications, including antidepressants and Xanax, to cope with severe anxiety attacks. "I've recently experienced a lot of loss, in various forms," he said at the time. "That's not an excuse, but it's the reason why I'm in the place that I am now." His mother, who celebrated his 27th birthday just two months prior, had publicly responded with unwavering support: "Presley, we love you and you are not alone."
A Promising Modeling Career
Born in California in 1999, Gerber was one of two children born to Crawford and businessman Rande Gerber. Following in his family's footsteps, he entered the fashion industry at a young age, making his runway debut at just 16 for Moschino. Throughout his career, he walked for prestigious international houses including Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, and Bottega Veneta, as well as American staples like Tommy Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren. He also starred in prominent campaigns for Calvin Klein and Pepsi, cementing his status as a recognizable face in global fashion.
