A mere three months after her runway debut, Cindy Crawford's daughter Kaia Gerber has announced a design collaboration with the iconic Karl Lagerfeld.

 

WWD reports that the line will consist of ready-to-wear and accessories, including sunglasses, footwear, and jewelry.

 

Considering how the 16-year-old stunned the fashion world with her catwalk debut in autumn, we're ready for her to make waves in design as well.

 

"When Karl first told us his idea to collaborate with Kaia, we were all excited by the incredible potential and power of bringing their two worlds together," Pier Paolo Righi, CEO of Karl Lagerfeld, told WWD.

 

The combo of Kaia's California cool with Karl's classic Parisian elegance should be breathtaking.

The legendary designer has had his eye on Kaia's talent for a while now. The teen even opened the Chanel show for Karl this autumn, besides walking for other celebrated brands from Calvin Klein to Versace.

 

You can definitely tell she's the daughter of a supermodel! Kaia's older brother, Presley, also models. 

 

Cindy has in the past expressed her worries about how the fashion industry's body image issues may negatively affect her daughter, but for the most part, she is supportive of her kids' foray into the industry.

 

"Kaia’s blossoming into such a beautiful young woman and I really want to let her shine. I don’t want her to feel in competition with me…But she’ll be fine! She’s much more together and worldly than I was at her age," the 51-year-old told The Edit.

 

Sure, how many teens collaborate with world-class designers at her age?

 

 

This makes me happy

As far as the fashion line goes, the Karl Lagerfeld x Kaia collection will be sold in Karl Lagerfeld stores worldwide, as well as online at Karl.com and at certain wholesale partners.

 

Pier is excited about the fresh perspective the supermodel-in-the-making brings to the table. While some may be reeling from the fact that she's designing for such a notable brand at just 16, the CEO says her insight into young women's minds is an asset.

 

"We have been working intensely over the last months with Kaia in L.A. and at our studio in Paris. It was exciting to see her clear vision, passion and engagement, and the collection will definitely inspire many young women," Pier noted.

 

Karl Lagerfeld x Kaia will come out in autumn this year, with launch events in Los Angeles, New York, and Paris.

 

We're excited to see how it turns out!
