These mother-daughter teams have created clothing labels that capture their family's essence through fashion.

Whether it's supermodels <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/cindy-crawford-young-90s-model" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cindy Crawford</a> and Kaia Gerber or actresses <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/lisa-bonet-bohemian-style-zoe-kravitz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lisa Bonet</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/zoe-kravitz-interview-yves-saint-laurent-black-opium" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zo&euml; Kravitz</a>, we love to see stories about daughters following in their mom's footsteps. But, what happens when both actually partner up to run their own <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/categories/fashion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fashion</a> business?&nbsp;
Here, L&rsquo;Officiel presents four <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/famous-celebrity-mother-daughter-duos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mother-daughter</a> duos who have fused their talents and passions to pursue a shared dream and, today, are at the forefront of successful fashion labels. From Italian dynasties to small ateliers in the North of France, these are the mother-daughter run brands to know.

Born in the North of France, the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/spring-dresses-small-brands-designers-shop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">brand </a>offers limited, handmade-to-order pieces crafted by Marie Dewet and her mother Cléopâtre, known as Cléo to close friends. In efforts of embodying their family’s essence, the mother-daughter team name each one of their designs after the women of their family. Also, with every order, the brand includes a complimentary <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/trendy-hairstyles-spring-2021-hair-scrunchies-clips" target="_blank" rel="noopener">scrunchie</a>, an ode to Cléo’s <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/easy-fix-messy-hair" target="_blank" rel="noopener">favorite accessory</a> during her young years.

With an ethical focus, all of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/maisoncleo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Maison Cléo</a>’s pieces are made out of vintage materials and leftover fabrics from French Couture houses and factories. They are widely committed to promoting transparency within the industry by offering a detailed receipt that breaks down the total cost of production (printed in recycled paper, obviously). Over the past years, the brand has gained popularity for its touching story, chic styles, and sustainable approach.

Created by Bernadette and Charlotte de Geyter, the Antwerp-based the mother-daughter duo behind the label often fronts campaigns for the brand, too.
The brand was born after Charlotte, who had previously graduated from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp and had interned in <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/simone-rocha-interview-spring-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Simone Rocha</a>’s design studio, decided that she was ready to collaborate with her mother, a former buyer at <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/very-ralph-hbo-documentary-ralph-lauren-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ralph Lauren</a>. Together they joined forces to create <a href="https://www.bernadetteantwerp.com/" style="letter-spacing: 0px;" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bernadette</a>, a timeless family brand.

Through elegant pieces, Bernadette embodies classic silhouettes and refreshing patterns printed in silk pajamas and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/impressive-bridal-gowns-spring-summer-2021-haute-couture" target="_blank" rel="noopener">beautiful gowns</a> distinctive of their hand-drawn botanical motifs.

Ever since Rosita and Sir Ottavio Missoni founded the brand back in 1953, <a href="https://www.missoni.com/us" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Missoni</a> has been a prestigious, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/the-missoni-family-to-launch-a-cookbook" target="_blank" rel="noopener">family-owned</a> fashion house distinctive for its premium, crochet-knit designs. Today, the Italian luxury label continues to thrive thanks to the efforts and talent of three generations: Rosita, Angela, and Margherita.

When Rosita handed the brand’s creative direction to her daughter Angela in 1996, she followed in her mother’s footsteps to continue a legacy of classical pieces imprinted with their family's signature zig-zag <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/2021-biggest-fashion-trends-designer-runway-bottega-veneta-louis-vuitton" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pattern</a>. Staying true to tradition, Angela worked alongside her then 26-year old daughter, Margherita Missoni, to design a full line of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/must-have-fashion-accessories-spring-2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accessories</a>. 
Currently, Margherita is the creative director of <a href="https://www.missoni.com/us/m-missoni" target="_blank" rel="noopener">M Missoni</a>, a branch of the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/novelty-knitwear-spring-2021-harry-styles-cardigan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">knitwear</a> empire that targets younger customers with fresh and fun designs.

Lucilla Bonaccorsi grew up surrounded by sunny Italian days and ethereal <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/best-dresses-fall-winter-2021-runways" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gowns</a> crafted by her own mother, Luisa Beccaria. At the young age of 21, she joined her at the forefront of the brand <a href="https://luisabeccaria.it/">Luisa Beccaria</a> to create feminine and romantic pieces.

Today, the brand traces back to its <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/sicilian-frappato-wine-summer-drink-guide-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sicilian</a> roots by offering clothes that combine evocative elements with soft details reminiscent of the countryside. With ready-to-wear, bridal, and home collections, the label offers pieces for a fully elegant lifestyle. With <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/how-to-shop-sustainable-beauty-brands" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sustainability in mind</a>, the brand adapts to modern luxury meanwhile remaining truly timeless.

Rebecca Henry and Akua Shabaka established <a href="https://houseofaama.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House of Aama</a> in 2015. The made-in-California brand honors Black culture with historical references through a modern lens. Pieces like halter tops, Victorian dresses, and striped suits display an antique feel, all while staying relevant for today's trends.

House of Aama is one of the 2021 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalists, recognizing the family-run label's skillful sartorial storytelling.
