    By Joanna Douglas, Senior Fashion and Beauty Editor | Fashion – Thu, Jan 19, 2012 11:42 AM EST

    Cindy Crawford's daughter, Kaia Gerber, is the new face of Young VersaceCindy Crawford's daughter, Kaia Gerber, is the new face of Young VersaceCindy Crawford is arguably one of the best supermodels ever, and now her lookalike daughter is fast-tracked for a similar career. While the 45-year-old is retired from the runway, her 10-year-old offspring, Kaia Gerber, is picking up where her mom left off, posing for the new Young Versace campaign. In her modeling debut, Kaia (whose father is entrepreneur Rande Gerber) shows she's definitely inherited her mother's photogenic qualities.

    In the 1990s, Crawford took the fashion industry by storm and served as muse to the late Gianni Versace. It's only fitting that her daughter Kaia would now be the face of the Young Versace line, which outfits children up to age 12. The Daily Mail reports that Crawford couldn't be more proud of her stunning little girl.

    "I'm so thrilled that Kaia was chosen to be part of the first Young Versace Campaign," Crawford said in a Versace press release. "I have so many fond memories of the times I spent with Gianni and Donatella. There is something so very special about the House of Versace." Crawford was on-set to watch her daughter pose for the campaign photos, shot by fashion photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. The supermodel called it a "fantastic experience."

Donatella Versace, the label's creative director, is equally thrilled with the new campaign. "Like her mother, Kaia has a very special gift. The camera really, really loves her," Versace said in the press statement. "Having Cindy on-set for the shoot took me back to all the amazing [Richard] Avedon shoots we worked on together. It was such a special treat watching Kaia walk in her mother's footsteps!"

    As the luxury children's market continues to grow, the first Young Versace standalone boutique opened last year in Milan, Italy next to Versace headquarters and the Versace Home boutique. "This is a high-end, glamorous and colorful collection in line with the brand's essence, with a touch of rock 'n' roll," Versace's Chief Executive Officer, Gian Giamcomo Ferraris, told Female First in 2011. "Donatella Versace strongly supports and is behind the project." Young Versace is also currently available in specialty boutiques and department stores worldwide.

      I think Cindy was making the right choice in pulling her daughter back in and saying no modeling career until she is 17. She of all people knows how the industry can be.. finally a responsible celebrity parent!

      She is beautiful. But please let her be a ten year old. She could wait a few more years to be like this.

        Agreed she is a lovely child, but all children are beautiful. Appearance like art is subjective. What is attractive to one is no so hot to another. It degrades all woman kind to dress in inappropriate clothing at any age. We don't need rhinestones on our rears or cleavage that looks like a couple of grapefruits stuck in our push up bras. We don't need Versace or Coach or any other stupidly expensive clothing or accessories to be real women. We need to put into everyones minds that what a woman or girl looks like is the least important thing and let them know we have a lot more than our looks to offer to this world.

      Beautiful girl, but it's a shame they feel it necessary to dress and make her up like she's 20+. I think modeling is fine at age 10, but how about a line of children's clothing or something a bit more appropriate for her age group.

        your comment is funny... didn't you read? it is a line of children's clothing up to age 12...... not any children I know though

        The fasion world is looking for the best looking young people to model their clothing.

        It's not always about finding the clothes that YOU find appropriate for a 10 year old - it's about putting her in clothing that best suits her frame and look to sell clothing.

        That being said, I think her outfit looks fine. She also may just have a slightly more mature face. lighting effects and such will really make the outfit stand out but I bet you if you saw a kid in a similar outfit running around you would think they look nice and are just running about and playing. (The jacket is something really neat I think)

      Obviously Kaia is beautiful just like her mom. To see her pose like a grown up is not wise.

      Parents just can't resist the temptation to start them too early. In a few years they will have her in more scantily inappropriate clothing and she'll be on a "ride" that will not stop. such a shame.

      Im sure this little girl drssing up like pedo eye candy is not a big deal to these people since theyre kids are safe with private schools and body guards 24/7 but what about the image they are promoting and the sickos that are patroling the neighborhood for our little girls!!!

      Makes you appreciate the stars who strive to give their children's lives a sense of normalcy and away from the exploitation that is crawford telling the world her legacy is alive and living in a ten year old child. Maybe acting classes would help her leap over mom's legacy!LoL!
