In 2007, Marta and Elise embarked on a quest to create a clothing line that would make women feel empowered, vivacious and sexy…but they weren’t thinking maternity.  No, no… Newbies to Los Angeles and recent college grads, Marta and Elise were living the single life and were far from thinking about having children.  Nevertheless, after researching niche markets and discovering the perils of maternity fashion, Marta and Elise decided it was their mission to “take the frump out of the bump” and give the mom’s of their generation something “cool” to wear during pregnancy.

    Since they had never been pregnant themselves, Marta and Elise enrolled in their own version of “maternity boot- camp”.  During this “period of enlightenment” they went to pre-natal yoga and lamaze classes, interviewed many pregnant/nursing women, convened with a whole slew of OB-GYNS and pediatricians, and even wore fake bellies. One year later, after familiarizing themselves with the world of maternity, they released their first Moody Mamas collection in Spring 2008.

    In its debut season, New York Magazine exclaimed, “it (Moody Mamas) has originality written all over it!”. Innovative in style and attitude, Moody Mamas rocked the maternity fashion world and was immediately well received by customers, celebrities, and retailers alike.

    Thrilled with their initial accomplishment, the kooky duo decided to make their brand even more fabulous and enlisted friend and famed designer, Christian Siriano to design the “Fierce Mamas by Christian Siriano” collection.  A departure from the moo-moos of yesteryear, the Fierce Mamas collection was created for pregnant fashionistas who wanted to be red carpet ready. Sold in boutiques worldwide and high end retailers such as Nordstrom and Harrods., the Fierce Mamas collection provided a chic aesthetic and a sense of luxury for the expectant mom.

    In its sophomore year, Moody Mamas and its owners have enjoyed continued success. Whether they are designing a cover look for a magazine or creating a capsule collection for Target.com, Marta and Elise are evolving as designers and business women. Though still single and without children, the ladies have emerged as experts in the land of maternity fashion.  From Access Hollywood to The Today Show to People Magazine and Fit Pregnancy, Marta and Elise have become staples in the media.  Regularly sharing their tips, tricks and “Hollywood mom” secrets, Marta and Elise are the “go-to gals” for all things mommy.  Whether they are offering their advice on tv or serving as columnists in magazines, Marta and Elise love encouraging women to embrace their style during pregnancy and maintain their sense of self on their journey into motherhood.

    Moody Mamas is a luxury maternity brand that provides chic clothing for the expectant mom. Loved by celebrities and everyday moms alike, Moody Mamas has revamped the maternity fashion world. Gone are the days when wearing moo moos and giant bows are the norm. Moody Mamas is the maternity brand of the new generation of moms and  is determined to “take the frump out of the bump” and restore style and confidence for all moms pregnant and post-partum!

    Since its first collection, Moody Mamas has re-vamped maternity fashion.
