Kate Moss and her daughter Lila returned to the catwalk for designer Kim Jones’s first couture catwalk show for Fendi in Paris on Wednesday.
Kate, 47, put on a busty display in a plunging silver satin gown which had pretty embellishments by the hem and her lookalike daughter Lila, 18 looked incredible in a silver double layered beaded dress.
Models stayed socially distanced from one another amid the global coronavirus pandemic as they stood inside giant perspex letters which spelled out the word ‘Fendi.’

British designer Jones, who joined Italian fashion house Fendi as its lead designer for womenswear in September 2020, and continues to fulfil his role as artistic director at Dior Men’s.
Jones succeeds the late Karl Lagerfeld in his Fendi role, which the designer held from the mid-1960s. Chanel designer Karl sadly died February 19, 2019.

The supermodel was one of Jones’s muses for the latest collection, and the publication notes that she modelled his clothing at Charleston, in the March 2021 issue.
‘It’s quite a challenge,’ said Antoine Arnault, the LVMH group head of communications and chief executive of Berluti, who has known Mr. Jones since they worked together at Vuitton.
He told the New York Times: ‘Mr. Jones is one of our superstars. When you have a top footballer on your team, you want to let him play to to his full potential.’
