Kaia Gerber

Cindy Crawford’s 16-year-old son Presley Gerber made his catwalk debut, walking the runway in the Moschino Resort ’17 show in Los Angeles this week. The model and budding photographer, who inherited his mother’s infamous beauty spot, rocked an orange lace suit with ease on the catwalk which she shared with veterans including Miranda Kerr and Alessandra Ambrosio.

It’s not just Cindy Crawford’s son who’s in the modelling biz, her daughter Kaia has been generating serious buzz for some time now. Kaia crept onto the fashion radar after becoming the face of Versace childrenswear in 2012, and as she has grown her resemblance to her supermodel mother has become undeniable.

The then-10-year old was hand-picked by Donatella Versace for the job, who said she had fond memories of working with Cindy at the height of her modelling career. Speaking of her model mum, who got her own start in the biz at 16, Crawford, says she is keeping a very close eye on her young daughter, knowing all-too-well the dark side of the fashion industry. The 49-year-old reportedly wanted Kaia to hold off on a modelling career until she was at least 17, however it seems the model mum may have relaxed her stance as the striking 14-year-old signed with IMG models earlier this year.

Kaia has since landed a campaign with luxury jewellery label Chrome Hearts and this week was announced as one of the faces of Alexander Wang’s spring/summer 2016 campaign.

The campaign, which also stars models Sarah Brannon, Rianne Van Rompaey, and Jean Campbell, marks the 17-year-old’s first high-fashion gig.

Pierce Brosnan’s good looks have clearly passed on to his son who is heating up the modelling world with his rock star meets James Bond good looks. The 18-year-old stars in Burberry’s new Spring/Summer 2016 Campaign and also recently modelled for Saint Laurent menswear.

Iris and Rafferty Law

Iris is the latest A-list offspring to land a fashion campaign. At first glance the 15-year-old daughter of actors Jude Law and Sadie Frost could be a young Madonna, with her nuclear pout (in black lipstick!) and killer brows, as she makes her modelling debut for London-based fashion collective Illustrated People.

Iris isn’t the only Law making big in the modelling world, with her big brother making his catwalk debut in June 2014 in London at the DKNY Menswear show. The now 19-year-old has gone on to score multiple modelling gigs and most recently worked for Effra London’s to star in their jewellery lookbook.

Lily-Rose Depp

Fresh off her debut on the Chanel Couture runway in July last year, Lily Rose Depp went on to land herself a major fashion coup – a Chanel campaign! The 16-year-old daughter of Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis was hand-picked by Karl Lagerfeld himself to be the face of Chanel’s Fall/Winter 2015-2016 eyewear campaign. “Lily-Rose is stunning, she’s a young girl from a new generation with all the qualities of a star,” said Lagerfeld, who also shot the campaign.

Dylan Penn

Sean Penn and Robin Wright’s daughter, Dylan Penn, signed with Premiere Model Management in 2013, joining the long list of celebrity offspring making moves in the fashion world. She credits her parents for her humble and hardworking attitude, beginning with her mother’s decision in 2009 to move her children out of “this weird sycophantic society” that was Hollywood to a small town just north of San Francisco. “I have lived a fairly normal life because of my parents,” Penn says. “I grew up very much out of the spotlight compared to other kids of celebrities, so I haven’t really known anything different.”
