Cindy Crawford is undoubtedly one of the most prominent supermodels of all time. It’s no surprise that her two children with Rande Gerber, also a former model, have decided to follow in their parents’ footsteps.
This was Presley and Kaia Gerber with their mom back in the early 2000s.

What a difference a few years make, huh? The siblings are now signed with IMG Models, and are both taking the fashion world by storm. In an interview with W Magazine, the shared fashion tips they got from their mom:
Kaia: My mom tells us to always just have a thought, not to just stare at the camera and not think anything, because then it doesn’t really read. So if you’re supposed to be happy, to actually think of something that makes you happier, if it makes you sad or dreamy, just have something there so it’s not just blank. That’s helped me so much, because then you have a real emotion and you’re not just posing. I think that’s the biggest one she gave me – did she tell you that?
Presley: Yeah, and that you gotta just have fun with it, no matter what it is.

Presley on taking up modeling:
I never even thought about it for a second, and I never really liked being in front of a camera. But then I did it and the first few times it was like, eh, it’s alright. Then I started traveling and coming to New York a lot, and I love it here, and then I got to go to Milan, so I’m starting to like it a lot more.

He’s also done campaign work for Calvin Klein.

Did Kaia always want to model?
I think I always knew. I had a moment when I was like, I want to act, I want to sing, but it was always there for me. And I love it and always had so much fun and these are the people that I look up to, so like seeing how many people you meet and all the places you go. It’s just so fun to have your life documented and have these photos of me throughout the years. They’re beautiful because they’re shot by amazing people, and it’s really cool I think to have that. I always print them because I don’t want it all on digital – I think it’s cool to have an actual hard copy. Even if I’m working for like 12 hours, I’m still having fun, and I think that’s the reason why I keep wanting to do it.

She’s also appeared in campaigns for huge designer brands like Miu Miu and Alexander Wang.
