When celebrities and friends came to Julie asking for a line of maternity wear, she gave them what she wanted too, a modified version of each season’s key styles. “You don’t give up your personality just because you get pregnant,” says Julie. A mother herself, Julie created Chaiken Maternity to fit

through an entire pregnancy. The collection is comfortable, as well as stylish. “Women often wear my maternity pants up to three months after the birth,” says Julie. “They fit under the belly so they are really comfortable, as well as looking good.”
