ELLE, one of the leading fashion magazine in the world, has just revealed sketches of the new androgynous maternity (“alternity”) clothing line from Butchbaby & Co., and posted a fantastic interview with the founders. Gender-nonconforming fashion is fashion indeed.

Their products will be available later this year. In the meantime, watch the great new video they produced for Mother’s Day, celebrating all mothers. It brings a smile to my face, watching the women in the video talk about what motherhood means to them and the impact of their mothers on their lives.
