Speaking of books, Gerber revealed that her summer reading list, includes Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro, The World I Fell Out Of by by Melanie Reid, and Girl Woman Other by Bernardine Evaristo.

And instead of detailing a lavish trip to the Maldives or reveling in the decadence of St. Tropez’s incomparable seafood, she confessed that her fondest summer memories often derive from times spent ‘being on a boat and listening to music.’ 

Gerber concluded the piece by hoping the summer of 2020 would be ‘a time of self-reflection and relaxation.’  

V Magazine described Kaia as ‘an enigma’ in the fashion world.

‘The resemblance to Cindy [Crawford] and Gia [Carangi] is traveling from different parts of her face constantly, like a butterfly landing on different flowers in a field yet the sum of all parts feels like a new and unknown world.’
