IMG, the world's premier sports, entertainment and media company, announced on May 30 that it has signed Cindy Crawford, the fashion icon and entrepreneur who has appeared on countless magazine covers worldwide.

IMG will exclusively represent Crawford in all areas of fashion and marketing including licensing, corporate sponsorships, endorsements, speaking engagements and other areas to capitalize on her international appeal in entertainment and fashion and her business successes.

Crawford, one of the world's most successful models, is known as both a smart and savvy businesswoman who has excelled in many different areas. Her name and face have been responsible for launching numerous new brands, as well as repositioning such classic staples as Revlon and Pepsi. She has experienced unparalleled opportunities in the worlds of fashion, beauty, licensing, publishing and television. As a result, Crawford currently maintains an exceptionally successful career off the runway as an entrepreneur and spokesperson for various companies and charitable organizations.

"I appreciate the way IMG combines its many global resources to present options to clients," Crawford said. "I'm looking forward to exploring new opportunities in corporate and fashion areas."
