But when you are lucky enough to have iconic designer Vera Wang as your mom, you listen and take note. \"I'll know if it's a good or bad outfit right off the bat,\" laughs Ms. Wang's eldest offspring, nineteen-year-old Cecilia Becker. \"She's very open, but she definitely has an opinion.\"\n\n For the University of Pennsylvania freshman, growing up with a fashion pro has always had its perks. \"When I was three, my mom made a wedding dress for my Halloween costume--I didn't take it off for days,\" says Cecilia. \"I knew there was something different about my family when my sister and I got to model in her runway shows as kids.\"\n\n Although she admits to having obsessions with Marc Jacobs and online shopping, Cecilia has a healthy archive of Vera in her closet, including custom-made prom and graduation dresses. But it's her wardrobe's newest addition that's the most dramatic--an extravagant white gown her mother designed for Cecilia's debut at the New York Junior League Ball last winter. \"My mom went to the same ball when she was a teenager,\" she says. \"I never had a Bat Mitzvah or sweet sixteen, so it was my special way to come of age.\" And she wasn't about to take it lightly! While she entrusted her mom with the design reins, Cecilia made sure she did her homework first. \"I tried on all these different wedding gowns to get an idea of which silhouettes I liked best,\" the fashion scion explains. \"I hadn't had a chance to wear such a big, glamorous dress before, so I wanted to make sure we got it just right.\" Seems like mother and daughter know best."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
