Aug 20 2016 - 6:00pm

It's no secret that Cindy Crawford [1] and her daughter, Kaia Gerber, look so much alike that they're practically twins [2], but the family resemblance has never been more uncanny than in Kaia's latest spread for Teen Vogue's September issue [3]. The mother-daughter duo interviewed each other for the feature, discussing everything from how the modeling world has affected 14-year-old Kaia [4] to how Cindy decided to allow her daughter to follow in her iconic footsteps. Although Cindy doesn't make an appearance in the photos, there's no question which parent Kaia takes after [5] while posing on the beach and looking as lovely as ever. Read highlights from their interview here!

Kaia on how modeling has changed her life: "It has given me the chance to meet such incredible people. Living in Malibu is like being in a bubble, so discovering others that are so different from me has been incredibly gratifying. I've watched [my mom] be nothing but kind to everyone on set, from the photographer to the caterer."

Kaia on her strong family resemblance: "When I look at my mom, aside from physical features (of course), we share many of the same mannerisms. I notice it when looking back on past videos of her. I don't know if it's genetic, or something I've just caught onto, but our actions mimic one another."

Cindy on making sure Kaia was ready for the modeling world: "Even though her dad and I have always taken pictures of Kaia, her first real modeling job was for Versace when she was 10 years old. We allowed her to do it because it was with a great team. She loved shooting for Donatella Versace with Mert and Markus. I chaperoned her and I knew besides getting great pictures, she would have fun. Because she didn't do another modeling job right away, the media falsely said I was pulling her back from it. The truth is, there aren't that many incredible opportunities for young girls and I only wanted her to have great experiences."
