If there’s one truth to the universe, it’s that Cindy Crawford ruled the 90s. But despite the fact that her career is coming to a close, the 49-year-old supermodel has still got it.

After the Crawford dropped the news that she would retire on her 50th birthday, the legendary model posted a heartfelt Instagram message to her legions of fans — and hinted that this wouldn’t be the last time we’d see her stunning figure.

Every year, I tell my kids I'm retiring. It's a running joke in our family. And yet every year, opportunities pop up that really excite me. While it's true that I'm eager to shift my focus a bit to concentrate on my businesses, friends and family — I'm not making any final statements (not all headlines tell the whole story!). I have loved being part of the fashion industry for the past 30 years — and if that time has taught me anything, it's this: never say never. Thanks for all the support, I'm so excited for what 2016 holds! xo Cindy

“Every year, I tell my kids I’m retiring. It’s a running joke in our family. And yet every year, opportunities pop up that really excite me,” she wrote in the caption of her photo. “While it’s true that I’m eager to shift my focus a bit to concentrate on my businesses, friends and family — I’m not making any final statements (not all headlines tell the whole story!).”

That doesn’t mean you that Crawford will disappear from the fashion world entirely: “I have loved being part of the fashion industry for the past 30 years — and if that time has taught me anything, it’s this: never say never.”

Never say never, indeed. Cindy, no matter what you decide to do, we’ll always welcome you back into our hearts with open arms. In the meantime, we’ll just have to celebrate with these stunning vintage photos from the incredible book Becoming Cindy Crawford:
