Fashion Designer, Uyo Okebie-Eichelberger; A NIGERIAN TO ORGANIZE THE FIRST MATERNITY FASHION SHOW IN NEW YORK
The idea for You! was born after founder, Uyo Okebie-Eichelberger struggled to find affordable and beautiful nursing lingerie as a first-time mother.
This footage shows
the moment a procession of pregnant models took to the catwalk to bare their
baby bumps in style.
Uyo with the Models |
Showcasing luxury underwear for mothers-to-be, You! is the first maternity brand to
put on a fashion show at Lingerie Week in New York.
And there wasn't a
stick-thin model in sight when a host of expectant mothers turned on the style
at the show last Saturday.
She found her options were either "boring, purely functional and
bland maternity products or
exorbitantly priced semi-exotic products".
So she decided to do
something about it.
She added: "You do not have to give up your fashionista style just
because you are a mommy."
