Kaia Gerber feels like she's working with a "really good friend" when she gets booked alongside her mom Cindy Crawford.

The 22-year-old model always has fun if she's shooting with the catwalk veteran and doesn't think too much about their familial relationship.

Speaking to People magazine at the Planet Omega exhibition in New York City, she said: "We got the giggles so bad on the red carpet just now.

"So it feels more like I get to work with just a really good friend."

She then added to her mom: "But, maybe I would complain a little bit more to you than I would to another person, but I wouldn't say anything different than that."

However, Cindy, 57, was quick to stress that the pair are always "professional", though she too doesn't think about the fact Kaia is her daughter when they're working.

She added: "But I think when we work together, it's really no different than if I was working with another professional. I feel like when I'm at work with you, it's not like, 'Oh, I am with my daughter. She's also Kaia and she has her own place in the world.'"

The pair love hanging out together, but Kaia admitted her mom can still embarrass her at times.

She said: "I do feel like we've established a really strong bond and friendship outside of just a mother-daughter dynamic, which has been so fun for me over the last few years."

Cindy interrupted: "We went to Burning Man together. We just did a retreat together... We both love reading. Theatre..."

Kaia said: "Yeah, it's a lot of like talking about what books we're reading, sharing podcasts...

"She is a cool mom and she still embarrasses me constantly.

"But it's good! It brings me back down to earth... I probably embarrass her constantly as well."

Meanwhile, Kaia admitted she doesn't want to recreate any of Cindy's "iconic" looks such as her 1991 red Versace gown she wore to the Oscars or her 1992 Pepsi commercial outfit.

She said: “It’s like some things are just so good you don't even want to touch them. And I think some of those moments I'm just like, ‘Leave them there,’ you know?”
