Nicole Richie’s to Design Maternity Clothes

Nicole Richie's to Desgin Maternity Clothes Budding fashion mogul Nicole Richie is looking to take her business to another level by designing maternity wear. According to recent reports, she has partnered with fashion line A Pea in the Pod for the new range. Richie already has her own label called House of Harlow 1960. She is currently hard at work designing clothes, shoes and jewelry for her Harlow label.

New Maternity Clothing Line

The new range for A Pea in a Pod was launched on Thursday. Richie was quoted as saying of her collaboration with the company, “Pea in the Pod is such a known company for pregnant women. They carry great lines, and so when they asked me to create a line for them, I was really excited and eager to do it.”

She also offered her view on being fashionable while pregnant saying, “…you really feel like you have to change your whole wardrobe. And that’s the last thing a woman wants to go through. So I really tried to make this line to get women excited about wearing clothes. I think the pregnant body is beautiful, and I think you should show it off.”

Nicole Richie’s Pregnancy

Richie herself is currently in the third trimester of her second pregnancy. She has a 19-month old daughter, Harlow for whom her fashion house is named. She says she was inspired by life with Harlow and her boyfriend Joel Madden when designing the maternity range.

Even her hectic work schedule has not forced her to slow down despite her advanced pregnancy. According to Richie, she is doing all she can to ensure the success of the label. In an interview with People.com she was quoted as saying, “I have my second collection of House of Harlow 1960 coming out in November, and my regular clothing line coming out in Spring 2010 along with my shoe line.”

I hope that Richie will not feel the need to push herself too much despite the demands of her work. Here’s hoping for a healthy birth and that the reminder of her pregnancy is as worry free as possible. Richie has had some legal trouble in the past, but all that is behind her now. She seems to be on the way to being a successful businesswoman and a great mom.
