It’s no secret that Christy Turlington is one of the most celebrated models in the world—and it was made official when she first joined Eileen Ford’s agency. From Brooke Shields to Naomi Campbell via Jerry Hall, Eileen and her husband who own the prestigious modelling agency Ford Models had a reputation of representing models who went on to become era-defining faces. It was certainly was the case for Christy Turlington herself, whose career took off thanks to Eileen and one of the industry’s iconic photographers Steven Meisel.
Both Meisel and Ford were drawn to Christy Turlington’s beauty, which came from a blend of her Californian and Salvadoran heritage. Decades later, Christy Turlington is still considered one of the most beautiful women on earth, and it’s safe to say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree when it comes to her daughter, Grace Burns.

At just 21 years old, Grace is already a regular in the fashion industry. Following the footsteps of her peer, Kaia Gerber (daughter of another top model, Cindy Crawford), the daughter of Christy Turlington and Edward Burns has been appearing on covers and stepping onto the catwalk of fashion shows like at Italian label Alberta Ferretti during Milan Fashion Week. In her we see her mother’s stunning features but also a fierce individuality that is all her own.

Just one look at her style and one can see the young model is able to turn even the most classic and basic trainers into a statement shoe, wearing them like the most elegant loafers in the world. These Keds trainers got a fashionable makeover thanks to Grace Burns as their ambassador who wore them with mismatched socks, a denim jacket with a salmon pink shirt peeking out from under.
