London Pregnancy SHAPING STYLE M AT E R N I T Y FA SHION BR A N D OF T HE Y E A R ISABELLAOLIVER.COM Cover, P.21 Welcome to Isabella Oliver and congratulations on your pregnancy. The months leading up to a baby’s arrival is a time filled with such wonder, and a precious experience I feel lucky to have enjoyed with three children. I can still vividly remember the excitement of my first pregnancy. I can also remember how much I struggled with how to dress my growing bump. That was twelve years ago when maternity fashion wasn't what it is now, and my husband’s shirts were my only style solution. It’s also the idea from which Isabella Oliver grew. Pregnancy clothes should be an extension of your wardrobe – desirable yet still easy-to-wear. At Isabella Oliver you’ll discover a collection that focuses on luxe fabrics that are soft on your skin, and feature pioneering design techniques which fit and flatter your bump throughout every stage. Our pieces grow with you and your changing body shape and many of them are designed so they can also be worn post-pregnancy too, so you know you’re making a good investment. Select a few key pieces and they will last. They will also make you feel like you. That’s a promise I’m really proud to be able to make. I hope you enjoy shopping with us and I want to wish you the very best during this special time.

We asked her to tell us more... Why did you launch Isabella Oliver? I made every mistake in the book when it came to dressing when I was pregnant with my first child. Let’s just say that oversized shirts and giant fleeces did not make for a stylish nine months but there were very few options. I couldn’t believe how difficult it was. Women don’t suddenly stop wanting to look stylish just because they have a bump. In fact, at a time when your confidence can feel quite shaky, it’s never more important. I wanted to fix this. That was 12 years ago now and I’m very proud with how much Isabella Oliver has achieved. What are your priorities for Isabella Oliver? Quality. Quality is exceptionally important for us. We believe you only need to buy a few great pieces to take you through your pregnancy. Great quality means these pieces will last so a small investment gives optimum rewards. Women don’t want throwaway fashion anymore – especially not with maternity wear. That’s not to say they don’t still want stylish clothing. They absolutely do and so another of our priorities is to design desirable pieces women genuinely want to wear. And finally, we want to make dressing easy so our pieces grow with you. There’s no need to size up or to buy for different stages. There are a lot of pregnancy style myths and rules, what has your experience taught you about these? There are a lot of misconceptions. The obvious one is that people think they have to wear something baggy and although certain styles can work, fitted pieces are very flattering and look and feel really chic. Our design signature is very much based around supporting the bump to create a beautiful figure-hugging silhouette. You’re a businesswoman and a mother of three. How do you make it work? It’s a balancing act. Women are faced with a lot of demands today and we all put a lot of additional pressures on ourselves. I’m especially lucky to have a talented team and a very supportive family who help make it all possible. I’m also very faithful with how I spend my time with my kids. From the time I walk through the door, to the time they go to bed, I'm with them. Homework, bath time or watching cartoons – it doesn’t matter, that’s our time. But then my husband Geoff is the company’s CEO so it’s easier to be flexible. If we do need to continue working on something after this, we can. I absolutely consider myself lucky to have been able to take so many opportunities and run with them. Bau k jen's preg n a nc y t ips • I loved taking long luxurious baths.
