Hudson Kroenig: remember that name. He's fashion's rising runway star. He's also four.

On Tuesday night, Hudson walked his third Chanel runway show, at the annual Chanel Metiers d'Art collection in Scotland. Dressed like Little Lord Fauntleroy in a bowed blouse, knickers, kilt, and a velvet beret, it was the kind of outfit that would prompt most kids his age to throw a tantrum. But Hudson is a professional.

At age one, he was photographed for German Vogue. By two he was taking Paris' fashion week by storm, walking for Chanel hand in hand with his father Brad. By four he had two campaigns (Fendi, Dolce&Gabbana), and several glossy photo shoots (W, Harper's Bazaar, Pirelli Calendar) under his belt.

Hudson was born into the industry. The 32-year-old Brad Kroenig is one of the leading male supermodels in the industry. After rising the ranks from Abercrombie poster-boy to the face of Chanel, Brad became close with Karl Lagerfeld, the iconic brand's creative lead. When Hudson was born in 2008, he named the eccentric designer as his son's godfather.

This week 10-year-old Romeo Beckham was introduced as Burberry's newest model, starring in the British brand's Spring 2013 advertising campaign.

Dannielynn Birkhead, the 6-year-old daughter of the late Anna Nicole Smith and Larry Birkhead, recently began modeling for Guess Kids, and Kaia Gerber, the daughter of Cindy Crawford and Randy Gerber, became the face of Young Versace in January 2012.

"Like her mother, Kaia has a very special gift," Donatella Versace said in a statement. "Having Cindy on set for the shoot took me back to all the amazing Avedon shoots we worked on together. It was such a special treat watching Kaia walk in her mother’s footsteps!" Romeo, Dannielynn, and Kaia aren't the first celeb offspring or sibling who started forging a path to stardom from a super-young age. Keep clicking to check out the second generation of minimodels.
