From designers to models, the fashion elite haven't forgotten their mothers on the way to the top.

Some designers keep their business all in the family: Michael Kors consistently turns to his mother as his fashion muse, Zac Posen's mom acted as CEO of his company, and Alexander Wang's mama Ying is a partner in his brand. As for models like Gisele Bundchen, Dree Hemingway, and Natalia Vodianova? Let's just say they spend each day working what their mamas gave them. And what could make a mom prouder on Mother's Day?
