Isabella Cruise works for Katie Holmes
Tom Cruise and
Nicole Kidman’s adopted daughter, Isabella, has started an apprenticeship with her step-mum,
Katie Holmes, at her label Holmes & Yang. Said Tom of his daughter’s new job: “It’s wonderful. Kate’s designing and Bella is just working her way up. She’s an artist, Bella, so it’s really great that she gets to work with it. She’s loving it.” Talk about keeping it in the family!
While Tom is extremely proud of his daughter’s new role, he admits that he doesn’t really understand too much about her day-to-day responsibilities. “This is my wife’s company, so you talk about movie sets with me, I can tell you about that,” he said. “[Isabella’s] got to go to all these different factories and verify and make sure you get the correct clothes.”
Meanwhile, Katie says that her label is a range of pieces that working mothers can “depend on”. Co-owner and stylist Jeanne Yang says: “Sometimes when life gets really busy you don’t want to have to think about what it is you’re going to wear and you just want to have certain pieces that you know you can depend on – what are those pieces? – and so that was kind of our challenge. Both of us are working mums, so we’re pretty busy, and, having a line, being mums and then having our careers is quite a lot.”
