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.
Back in December, I wrote about Butchbaby & Co.’s line of clothing for butch, trans, and other masculine-of-center pregnant and nursing individuals. Kudos to the two folks behind the the company, Vanessa Newman and Michelle Janayea, for evangelizing their vision of inclusive pregnancy and catching the eye of one of the biggest names in fashion. Go read the lengthy interview of them at ELLE and see sketches of their upcoming designs. Jeans, button-down shirts, a hoodie, a pullover, and more look both comfortable and stylish. Here are a couple to whet your appetite:
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.
