Maternity Trend - Spring/Summer 2013 - Bright Nautical

A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by Kimberly Bond who is the founder of the blog Visit from the Stork. The blog focuses on providing advice and support for mum's and mum's to be between the ages of seventeen and 25.  Kimberly asked me if I would create some maternity trends for this summer (2013) for her readers.  I created 6 different trends two for casual, two for work and two for going out.  Over the next week I will also be sharing these trends starting today with a bright nautical casual wear trend.

Maternity Fashion - Key Catwalk Looks for Autumn/Winter 2012

Last year I designed some maternity wear ranges for Jo Jo Maman Bebe.  It was the first time I had designer maternity wear and there were lots of new things I had to consider!

I wanted the range to be fashionable yet practical!  I did a lot of research into catwalk trends and thought about how I could translate them into trendy maternity designs.
