We’re suckers for a father daughter story, especially when that story results in a handbag collection. Italian leather brand Salvatore Ferragamo has added a new model to its covetable list of bags: the Fiamma. Honouring Ferragamo’s late daughter and creator of the first Ferragamo handbag collection, the Fiamma is functional luxury at its best, featuring a renewal of the brand’s iconic silk lining as well as dressings like snakeskin, croc, tweed and Swarovski crystal.

To celebrate the launch of the Fiamma, Ferragamo has created an accompanying video celebrating international families of powerful women. New York artist Jacqueline and daughter Lola Schnabel make an appearance as does Mariel Hemingway and daughter Langley Fox. On the international front, things get royal with Princess Patricia and Princess Mathilde Melusine Ruspoli of Rome. The film celebrates these women and families for their eclectic style, unique talents, immaculate achievements and dedication to family.

While coming of age for most kids involves obsessing over Ryan Gosling’s abs or donning an ill-fitting mermaid dress to semi-formal, celebrity kids can burn mileage on what we’re calling “family flame fame.” Celebrity kids are genetic lottery winners: hardwired to be talented, ridiculously good looking and sometimes both. Walking a Marc Jacobs runway show before the age of 18? A very real possibility.

At the sprightly young age of 10, Victoria and David Beckham’s son Romeo has gotten a head start on his career by starring in Burberry’s Spring 2013 advertising. Meanwhile, Cindy Crawford’s eleven-year-old daughter Kaia has fronted Versace’s children’s range.

Celebrity kids are certainly modeling earlier these days and while they may not all live up to the stature of their parents, they’ve certainly got enough moxy to gain It girl status. Here are our top 12 favourite model children.
