People say of the fashion industry that “it’s not what you know, it’s who you know.” Nowhere is this statement more true than in the world of the celebrity offspring. Privileged from birth and with an enviable list of contacts courtesy of their parents, children of celebrities seem to be able to turn their hand to almost anything. The career du jour seems to be in the uber-competitive modeling industry, which has attracted many good-looking youngsters of well-known lineage. Recently Rafferty Law (son of Jude) has made his runway debut, and Vivienne Westwood’s granddaughter Cora Corre has been tipped as one of the next big faces. Here we take a look at our favourite famous relatives that are currently taking the modeling world by storm.

1. Lottie Moss

In terms of shoes to fill, there don’t come many bigger than Kate Moss’. Younger sister Lottie has recently made a big splash in the industry, scoring an editorial in Dazed & Confused and a campaign with Calvin Klein. Whether she can rise to her sister’s icon status remains to be seen, but the 16-year-old is definitely one to watch.

2. Lily McMenamy

As the daughter of one of fashion’s most striking supermodels, Lily McMenamy has inherited some seriously good genes. With impossibly big lips and her mother’s ethereal beauty, Lily has a face that demands attention. Already picked up by major brands and publications, she is one of the most exciting finds for the industry of late.

3. Brooklyn Beckham

With their really ridiculously good-looking parents, it would be hard to imagine the Beckham children would be anything but. While younger brother Romeo was the first to be snapped up by Burberry for their children’s campaign, this spot goes out to eldest child Brooklyn. Recently scoring a cover of Man About Town magazine, he seems set to be the dark horse of the family.

4. Riley Keough

The granddaughter of one of music’s most iconic stars, Elvis Presley, has been rocking the acting and modeling world for some time now. With brands from Lee Jeans to Miu Miu, as well as the biggest global publications taking notice, Riley Keough has a more than impressive resumé. Having also starred in films such as Magic Mike and The Runaways, Riley is the classic triple threat.

5. Dree Hemingway

With a surname as iconic as hers, Dree Hemingway was undoubtedly destined for great things. Choosing the runway over literature, Ernest Hemingway’s great granddaughter has made quite the impact. With campaigns from AGNONA to Paco Rabanne under her belt, and a score of editorial appearances, Dree’s career is still on the rise. Did we mention she is also a celebrated actress?

6. Patrick Schwarzenegger

One of the more unexpected faces on the scene of late has been Patrick Schwarzenegger (no prizes for guessing who his father is). Having inherited Arnie’s impressive height and chiseled good looks, Patrick has recently been chosen by Tom Ford to front his AW14 advertising campaign. But we’re guessing after that he’ll be back (couldn’t resist).

7. Tali Lennox

Last but no means least is Tali Lennox, daughter of the Eurythmics singer Annie Lennox. Having started her career at 17, by now she can count Burberry, Christopher Kane and Prada as her fans, among many others. Still only 21 and having achieved so much, it’s clear her career is set to skyrocket.

If you haven’t heard of the LA-raised actress-cum-dancer-cum-singer Tinashe, where have you been? She first came on the scene in Hollywood, racking up a series of high profile acting gigs, from a role in 2004’s The Polar Express to the more recent slot on Two and A Half Men, after which the 21-year-old then turned her attention to the music business. After cutting her teeth in girl group The Stunners, Tinashe set her sights on becoming a solo artist. Having released a series of mixtapes in 2012, which she wrote and recorded in her childhood bedroom, a much more high profile single release comes in the form of 2 On, which features Schoolboy Q, and an upcoming album launch, all eyes are on Tinashe.

The fashion industry has also taken note of the singer, with Opening Ceremony choosing her to front the latest in their The Look series. Dressed in her favourite pieces from their SS14 collection, the brand have quizzed her on her personal style, her love of Nasir Mazhar, and the concept behind her irresistibly catchy new single. Speaking of the meaning of ‘2 On’, she revealed: “it means to be super-hyped up, or turnt up, and you can use it in other contexts other than getting ‘fucked up’. If you’re really hyped up about something, or really excited, or getting ready to go out, you can be 2 On, all day, every day.”

From that description we can unequivocally say we are 2 On over Tinashe, and you should be too. To read the full interview head over to Opening Ceremony’s website.

It seems these days we are under attack from a constant barrage of fashion collaborations. Whether it is the high-low pairings we have come to love à la H&M, celebrities lending their vision to a brand, or simply two designers coming together to create something original – the formula is often the same. This season, Opening Ceremony have thought outside the box somewhat and looked to the organic creations of the renowned florist Thierry Boutemy to inspire a summer collection of men’s and women’s ready-to-wear, accessories and fragrance.

Boutemy, who is most well known for his work on Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette, has also had work published in Vogue, Nowness and Elle. Speaking of the collaboration, Opening Ceremony’s creative director Humberto Leon says:

“We’ve been following Thierry’s work for some time now and have been in awe of his incredible talent, especially the lavishly designed arrangements in Marie Antoinette. There’s no one who captures the essence and spirit of flowers as Thierry does, and we are excited to be partnering with him for his first fashion collection.”

The collection itself features smashed and decayed floral prints on existing Opening Ceremony silhouettes, including bomber jackets, boxy tees and camis. There are also exclusive shoes in collaboration with Manolo Blahnik, Chukka and Vans, and also hats from New Era. Boutemy and Opening Ceremony have also worked in conjunction with Le Labo, to create a limited edition fragrance, Geranium 30, which uses floral notes and rich spices to give the feeling of a wild, untamed garden.

With all the pieces available now in Opening Ceremony stores worldwide and online, make sure you don’t miss it, as this is a collection that won’t be in bloom for long.

Emerging from a three-year relationship with Topman’s MAN and NEWGEN schemes, the undisputed Queen of luxe streetwear Astrid Andersen has teamed up with the high street brand to create an exclusive capsule collection. Modeled by hip hop artist A$AP Ferg, the collection brings Andersen’s unique take on streetwear to a broader market and at a more affordable price point.

Andersen’s signature oversized silhouette and more ‘feminine’ elements are evident in the striking colour palette of black, white and cerise, whilst her playful take on fabrication comes through in neoprene bomber jackets, mesh panelling and a crushed velvet tracksuit.

Talking of the collection, Astrid reveals: “The inspiration for the design was a website I found on Punjab basket teams from India. There were images from the early fifties right up to today so the inspiration became the crossover references on how this was originally a national sport but as time progressed it became highly Americanised. The colour code and metal reflect the traditional Indian use of colours but in a tight palette.”

With prices starting from £50, it won’t stick around in stores for long. Head to Topman’s Oxford Circus and Selfridges stores on 12^th June, before it’s too late.

There’s no denying the influence fitness and sports have had on the fashion industry. Since the 2012 Olympics, sportswear pieces have been infiltrating the mainstream consciousness, with designers and brands alike reacting to this new acceptance of the genre. Particularly in the menswear market, lines are becoming increasingly blurred between function and style.

With this in mind, Topman have released their debut sportswear collection, which sees the perfect marriage of these two worlds. The 20 piece capsule collection fuses performance fabrics with the aesthetics of a fashion brand, in the form of gym tees, running leggings, sweatshirts and bomber jackets. Features such as mesh paneling and displaced seams are added for comfort, while breathable nylons and Dry-Tech technology offer the same quality as more upmarket alternatives.

With prices ranging from £12-£42, the collection is both affordable and impactful, and is available in store and online at Topman.com.

With a well-established music career, as well as a role in the upcoming 50 Shades of Grey movie adaptation, Rita Ora is proving she is a talent worth watching out for. Now has come the announcement that she will become the first female music artist to work as a collaborator for adidas, following in the footsteps of Stella McCartney and Mary Katrantzou (also coming soon).

The collection itself will be released in five separate capsules towards the end of this year, focusing on several facets of Ora’s personal style. The first “Black” line is a nod to her statement London look, which will include sneakers, leather jackets and sheer-paneled tracksuits. “The collaboration came about through mutual love and appreciation. I have always been a fan of adidas Originals and respect what they stand for in their fearlessness and originality,” says Rita. “I worked very closely with adidas Originals to put a personal touch in every piece with connections to my music, my career and my life. I’m really proud of the collection and beyond excited for my fans to get their hands on it!”

In keeping with the aforementioned personal ouch, another of the lines within the collection is based on one of Rita’s dove tattoos. “It’s the softer, more feminine side of me with its soft colours and cutouts on the sleeves with suede – you know, things that are nice to touch and feel,” Ora told WWD. Design director of adidas Originals also spoke of the collaboration to WWD: “Rita is, first of all, an amazing person and colourful and outgoing. She has a great way of mixing fashion and streetwear and has a big love for the brand, and it was obvious that we needed to work with her.”

If all of this has whet your appetite, you’ll have to be patient as the first drop won’t hit adidas Originals stores until August 21^st. We predict a sell-out, and a quick one at that!
