In many cases, such childhood encounters with backstage chaos, legendary designers and front row paps serve as useful preparation for a future career in fashion: almost a decade after a bewigged Kate Moss was greeted backstage by her 10-year-old daughter after closing Marc Jacobs’s Louis Vuitton show in Paris, Lila was joining her mother on Fendi’s Haute Couture runway. Lily McMenamy, still a babe in mum Kristen’s arms at her first Chanel show in the ’90s, was scarcely out of her teens when she took up the modelling mantle proper, walking for Saint Laurent at Paris Fashion Week autumn/winter 2013.
