Super Model Heidi Klum and celeb Jessica Alba ‘made it work’ during their pregnancies clad in the curvy fitting chic stretchy viscous jerseys and light-weight fabrics of the modern, sexy maternity line Isabella Oliver.
We recently noshed on a petit dejüner at the hip Soho House, NYC to preview the fashionista favorite, Isabella Oliver Fall Collection. Our lips are sealed until its August release date… but we are able to dish on the super impeccable Spring 2008 line.
WHO: Vanessa Knox-Brien and Baukjen de Swaan Arons from across the pond. They launched the line in 2003 for “women who love clothes.”
WHY: Sick of sack-like, yucky maternity wear that no woman in her right mind (okay any mind) would ever wear, let alone pay for.
WHAT: Separate staples like the iconic Cap Wrap and Wrap Around Tops, a best-selling Ruched Tank Dress, wear everywhere Denim Palazzo pants,
and the delicious neckline Bracelet Portrait Top…reasonably priced from $120-$175 in summery pink fuchsia, raspberry, and blossom hues, chartreuse green… and the backbones: caviar black and pearl.
NEW AND NIFTY: A duo reversible collection for a comfortable fit and 2-1 versatility… like the nifty reversible Duo Sleeveless Wrap and Swing Dresses “with flashes of contrasting color as the asymmetrical hem catches the breeze.”
A Peekaboo Wrap Top with an eye catching keyhole front and floaty kimono sleeves for added femininity.
Wrap and Kimono Nursing Tops that remind us of our cherished Capzeio ballet numbers…that swear by formula only adherents will also want to wear.
FIT: For everyone, all shapes easily fit into sizes 0-4. With adjustable tie wraps and expandable, easy care washable fabrics, the line will carry you full term… and beyond into the “4th trimester.”
FUN FACTS: Named after the mommies' kids. Isabella Oliver also has a full line of fab lingerie and swimwear.
