...Carven's "Ma Fille" collection puts mothers and daughters into matching, high-style camaraderie. Jacques Esterel's "négligé snob" would get father and son in the act, too, with everyone wearing identical family jerseys. And then there is Marc Bohan's "Baby Dior" line. It's not every two-year-old who can wear (or whose parents can afford) a white lace dress costing $100, or a white rabbit coat...
