Du Jour features Rebecca Minkoff + Mama Glow

The designer and friends celebrate Latham Thomas’s hip new guide for moms-to-be

By Ivy Pascual

On Tuesday Nov. 13, moms and moms-to-be flocked to Rebecca Minkoff’s midtown showroom as the designer celebrated the publication of Mama Glow, the first book by maternity lifestyle expert Latham Thomas (shown, in the striped dress). In the book, Thomas offers health tips and holistic advice for expectant mothers. “I hope to transform the way women think and feel about birth,” she said. “It’s about feeling fabulous and empowering women.”

Minkoff (shown, in the leather jacket) met Thomas when she was pregnant a year ago. “Latham was my doula when I had my son,” she said. After having a natural childbirth, Minkoff learned, “it’s all about unleashing your inner power and going back to basics. We did it for thousands of years.” But in addition, she says women also want to look fabulous and stylish when they’re expecting. 

At the end of the reception, guests walked away with gift bags filled with goodies like Happy Family organic baby snacks and Plum and Belli skincare products.

Meet the Panelists!

From Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop, to the The New York Times,  Instyle magazine and Refinery 29, to name a few, Hatch and its creator, Ariane Goldman, are breaking through the fashion headlines. This finely edited collection of chic and flattering wardrobe essentials for cool and busy women can truly be worn before, during, and after pregnancy. The label is the ultimate go-to destination for that adaptable but chic garment and super-cool street style inspiration for moms-to-be and mothers everywhere.  

Ariane created the line after she became pregnant in early 2011. She was frustrated in her attempts to find sustainable wardrobes pieces that were flattering and celebrated her growing belly. When such clothing couldn’t be found, she developed the Hatch collection to allow women to feel beautiful from stage to stage of pregnancy and beyond. The collection is made up of 14 key pieces for everyday casual to dressing up and going out for a special occasion. The pieces are designed to be ageless, timeless, and fit all sizes, shapes and builds. With smart and easy silhouettes, her clothing is designed for women to look stylish through and beyond the 9 months.
