Ellen Von Unwerth and Rebecca Fourteau | Photographer and Daughter

Ellen Von Unwerth describes this recent outing on the other side of the lens as "very cute." Her 15-year-old daughter, Rebecca Fourteau, "made me leave the bathroom," she says. "I made her nervous when she was putting makeup on." Von Unwerth wears mostly jeans and flat shoes for work, but says that Fourteau prefers her in skirts and heels: "She likes me to be very chic." Von Unwerth compromises with mannish suits by Daryl K, Helmut Lang and Dolce & Gabbana (pictured here). Fourteau's taste is girlier. This Betsey Johnson dress was a gift (along with five others) from the designer.
