like mother, like daughter ...

Okay, so some things really do run in the family... This is Raee, the adorable 2 year-old daughter of Liya Kebede modeling her clothing line. As if she isn't busy enough, Liya designed a line of children's clothing called Lemlem [meaning "to bloom" in Amharic] which launched earlier this year and the clothes are handmade in Ethiopia.



You can find Lemlem at Scoop Kids (212-691-1926), Seedless Watermelon, (718) 376-2020, Calypso Christiane Celle, (212) 219-8900 and Sons + Daughters, (212) 253-7797.

uber chic...

Here's another model I adore [yes I'm on my modeling ish today...].

She's 29, Ethopian, and definitely taking the model industry by storm.

Her rise began when Gucci creative director Tom Ford, who was mesmerized by her during a Milan catwalk show, handpicked her for an Yves Saint Laurent campaign. After that, she caught the attention of Estee Lauder's CEO. Liya signed a $3 million contract in March 2003.



“I’d love it if young girls can see me and say, ‘She’s done it, and so can I’.” - Liya

sticks and twigs ... style icon.

Born Lesley Hornby, Twiggy became the first super-skinny supermodel. Unlike Nicole Richie, Twiggy actually looks good being stick-thin. This is where she got the name Sticks and Twigs from. Eventually, they decided to let her go by her childhood name - Twiggy. I'm lovin' her pixie bob look. Like all ’60s models, the eye-makeup is distinctive.

When Twiggy said "You can't be a clothes hanger for your entire life!", what do you think she was referring to?
