Heidi Klum to launch TWO maternity lines!

That's right- TWO! On February 12th, Heidi launches Lavish for A Pea in the Pod and Loved for Motherhood Maternity. Both collections will be available in store and online.

"I chose to call my collection for A Pea in the Pod Lavish because there is no grander name to express everything you want to give yourself and the child growing within you.....For Motherhood Maternity, Love is a celebration of new life and the love around you and your baby" said the Supermodel Mom.

Lavish is said to include 15 pieces. The line focuses on iconic style and detailed construction. Loved is 14 pieces and present comfort, playfulness and supermodel style.

Are you interested to see what Heidi comes up with?

Gypsy Blue- We Love You!

The first official pics of Matilda Jane's Gypsy Blue collection have been posted to the Internet, and weather you're a Matilda Jane aficionado or novice, you'll find something to love! We love how this newest collection perfectly blends current trends with the off-the-beaten-path look that only Matilda Jane can deliver time and time again!

Reason number 1 we love Gypsy Blue- Those blue stripes! We love the shade of brown that alternates with them and we know this- those two colors are sure to flatter both blue and brown eyed girls and we love it! You know what else we love about these stripes? They're versatile! We haven't seen the whole collection yet, but we have seen these stripes in both leggings and on tops- meaning you can mix and match your heart out, still have stripes and not have the same look as every other girl with stripes (BONUS!)

Reason number 2 we love Gypsy Blue- That bright and bold, retro-inspired print (it's called "Disco"- which is just one more reason we love it)! It inspires us! It makes us think of the Bradys (in a good way) and almost seems oddly reminiscent of the Marshalls dress that had board mamas in a frenzy last year. We love that print, we can't get enough of it, and we want to see it on everything. It appears we're not alone, because MJ has anticipated our need and we see this print everywhere (LOVE IT!). It's on tops and skirts and even mommy items *swoon* We. Must. Have. This. Print.

Reason number 3 we love Gypsy Blue- Those tights! While multi-colored striped tights typically make us think of something Seuss-like, these beauties are awe-inspiring! The colors are bright, and cheery, a reflection of not only the impeccable taste of the designer, but a statement about childhood in general. That's what it's all about right- wearing things that are playful and fun? We love these tights and declare them an absolute MUST HAVE!

Reason number 4 we love Gypsy Blue- The. Most. Fashionable. Children's. Hoody. Ever. Period. If you get nothing else from Matilda Jane, if your budget is busted, if you're on a shopping wagon and can only get one piece this year- make it the Willow Hooded Cardigan! Our jaws hit the floor when we saw what Denise had done with this hoody. How perfectly she had blended the current style of the wide base of the hood, the thinner fabric, with signature Matilda Jane touches like intricate buttons and ruffled trim. Need more reason to buy it? Lady Gaga wore a similar style just last month!

Gypsy Blue is sure to be a huge success for Matilda Jane! It's out in 2 releases- some pieces are available now and the rest will be available October 1st. All pieces will mix and match!

BREAKING NEWS: Stella McCarney joins with Gap for exclusive children's line

FMC has learned that Stella McCarney, daughter of famed Beatle Paul McCartney and world famous fashion designer has officially teamed up with Gap to create a line of childrens clothing later this year. The collection will be avaliable online and in only select BabyGap and GapKids stores worldwide.

McCartney has said that she has long wanted to create a line for children. She went on to say "I believe that kid's clothing should be more accessibly priced, which is particularly important at the moment, given the current climate".

To see some of McCartney's work in women's fashion (and to pick up a few pieces) you can view her site: http://www.stellamccartney.com/

The San Francisco Chronicle gives Insight into what's to come for Gymbo

A great article in Sunday's Chronicle gave insight as to what to expect from Gymboree later this year. It focused on a little girl fit model and zeroed in on her experience working for Gymboree. Says the Chronicle:

For the next 90 minutes, she tried on a dozen or so prototypes for next season and beyond: lots of jeans and basic T-shirts; a leopard swimsuit; a winter coat with a faux fur collar; two party dresses; a skirt; a couple of sweaters and for the finale, a dramatic white astronaut jumpsuit Halloween costume, all part of the Kid Girl line.

When she emerged from the dressing room in a dressy red sweater with a big collar and black and white velvet ribbon trim, she looked uncomfortable, instinctively tugging at the bulky collar, a cross between a cowl and a turtleneck...."Let's bring it back to a turtleneck." And so, this winter, the red sweater will be on the racks in its new incarnation.

Lily tried on a lavender quilted corduroy skirt and smiled. Perfect. She tried skinny dark denim jeans with a zip at the ankle and star appliqués on the back pockets.

The article also had pictures- a leopard print swimsuit, dark washed jeans with a bright pink belt, a color-block dress reminiscent of Janie & Jack's Aviary, a red and black plaid dress, a long black coat, and a double-sleeved shirt with colors similar to last year's Winter Snowflake but with the word "LOVE" emblazoned across the chest.

FMC EXCLUSIVE news on Janie & Jack

While the world of J&J shoppers are in a flurry to shop Season Finale, FMC has been talking behind to those in the know behind the scenes!

We previously reported on a pink and brown "confetti" line- reminiscent of Sweet Confetti from 2005 (oddly enough, the year J&J seems to be emulating). Now we can report EXCLUSIVELY that the window dressing for this Fall Transition line will be a cream colored cake plate with faux petit fours! All mini cakes are in a white wrapper with brown striping. Some are white and round with pink "frosting" flowers. Another is square and white with a trio of white, pink and purple flowers. Another is light pink with pink roses and white piping. Lastly are rectangular, dark brown, chocolate-looking ones with a single rose iced on top.

This line is gearing up to be really beautiful. You can find it in stores Sunday, June 28th at midnight Eastern. In store times to follow that week.
