While completing her MA in Fashion Design and Merchandising at Wayne State University, Mila wrote her master’s essay on contemporary maternity wear. Considering her own experience and extended study she found the need for fashionable, transitional outerwear and sportswear that allows going from pregnancy to post-pregnancy and vice versa. To cover the gap in maternity fashion, Mila turned her focus towards creating a contemporary fashion line for expecting mothers that is versatile, functional and feminine. Pregnancycan be the best time of a woman’s fashion life, and modern maternity styles make it possible for expectant mothers to dress fashionably and comfortably without giving up their lifestyle.
