BB Maternity by Barbara Brickner
Year launched: 1999
Inspired by her pregnancy, Barbara Brickner created BB Maternity, a collection of pieces that take the curvy Mom from the beginning to the end of her pregnancy and beyond!
Brickner has become one of the most internationally familiar faces in plus-size modeling over her 10+ year career. Featuring constantly in MODE Magazine and producing many of its most enduring images, she went on to become the preferred model of many plus-size designers; most notably for Italian company Elena Miro for several years, appearing by herself in their iconic calendar created in 2000. Also in 2000, Brickner launched a line of plus-size maternity clothing named BB Maternity, sold through U.S. department stores.
