Crawford and Rande welcomed their first child, Presley, on July 2, 1999.
Presley followed in the footsteps of his supermodel mother, stepping into the fashion industry as a teenager. After signing with IMG Models, he made his runway debut for Moschino when he was 16.
As he gained recognition in the industry, Presley walked the runway for several major fashion houses, including Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Bottega Veneta, Dolce & Gabbana and Burberry. His career also extended beyond the runway, with editorial features in The New York Times Style Magazine and GQ Style and campaigns for Celine, Calvin Klein, Pepsi and Omega.
Presley also teamed up with Kaia for a Calvin Klein campaign and appeared alongside Crawford in a Pepsi Super Bowl commercial in 2018.
In a 2018 Town & Country interview, Crawford revealed Presley was living in their guesthouse to have “more freedom.”
“But somehow he still comes over for every meal and to do his laundry,” said the mom of two.
For Crawford, Presley, who got his mom’s famous beauty mark on his right cheek, looked more like her than Kaia did.
“When we’re together, you can really see it,” she told a publication in a Mother’s Day interview.
As his career progressed, Presley became increasingly open about his mental health struggles.
During a 2023 appearance on the Studio 22 podcast, he said, “Having struggled with mental health, depression and some other things that come along with that, I think that whether I help one person or a hundred people get out of that place that I was in at one point in my life, that’s all I need to do.”
Three months after his final appearance at a June event, Presley died at a rehabilitation facility on September 20. He was 27.
Authorities noted that there was no indication of foul play but are investigating his death as a suspected overdose.
