Mom: Marilyn Weiss Daughter: Piper Weiss Era: 1969 The reason Piper loves it: I particularly love this picture of my mom in Israel, not only because she's got this great vest on that she bought there and brought home, but because I didn't realize that before she married my dad, after canceling her engagement to another man, she’d gone on the 'honeymoon'—a 20-day trip across Europe—with her parents. It was so striking—seeing her as a young woman who was challenging the conventions of her parents' generation while looking so hip and fabulous. Why is your mom your biggest style icon?
