It’s no secret that celebrity children are the new ‘It’ models; Presley Gerber is following the footsteps of his supermodel mum Cindy Crawford. The famous model’s 16-year-old son has already made his runway debut at Moschino’s Resort 2017 show and he was a big hit on the catwalk at Dolce & Gabbana Spring/Summer 2017.

Rising star, Mitchell Slaggert is a military hopeful turned Versace model. When he was seven he was in a car accident that left him with one kidney, and he couldn’t enlist. His rugged charm and all-American cuteness has been a big hit with editorials and campaigns. When the model showed up on set to shoot the latest Calvin Klein underwear campaign, he was faced with Kendall Jenner. He told the Daily Mail: “She was a name I knew, but not a face.” Growing up in Georgia, he was spotted walking around downtown Wilmington, North Carolina, where he was studying mechanical engineering at the University of North Carolina, by the man who discovered Jennifer Lawrence.
