What have you learned from your kids? They bring things to your attention that you would usually brush off because you're used to them. It's kind of like you get a second view that you wouldn't have revisited if it wasn't for them, a different perspective on things that we're not sensitive to anymore. Basically, you relive childhood to a certain extent, which is very interesting. -Ralf_Interviews throughout by Lauren Kranc

Daryl S. Dismond (60), maître d' and model, and Silas J. Dismond (17)

Do you have a piece of clothing you're saving to pass down? When I moved to New York, there was Studio 54, Area, and then Nell's. So when I started working there, we thought we were really cool. We had these jackets that had NELL'S on the back. I saved this jacket. I was like, 'No, I'm not throwing this out. Even though I'm not wearing it, I know that [Silas] might want it.' And he wears the Nell's jacket all the time. -Daryl

Marc Hungerbühler (58), artist and curator, and Sebastiao Hungerbühler (24), creative director and model, opposite

What's the most embarrassing thing your dad has ever done? When we do or say the same thing and other people pick up on it. My really close friend that I grew up with calls it a Marc-ism. Or my girlfriend will be like, 'Oh my God, that was Marc.' Maybe I've adopted the way that he thinks. When we have long conversations, our brains almost merge in a way. I'm not ashamed to do the same thing as him. It's just when people notice that's the more embarrassing part. -Sebastiao
