Mandy Moore designs children's clothing collection
Mandy Moore has designed a limited-edition children's clothing line.
The This Is Us star has collaborated with children's apparel retailer Gymboree to create a capsule holiday clothing collection, Gymboree XO Mandy Moore, for babies and toddlers.
The actress, 39, is a brand ambassador for Gymboree and a partner of its parent company The Children's Place.
"It was a natural evolution for me to do this collaboration and launch this holiday collection," the mother of two explained in an interview with WWD. "I spent last winter on the East Coast with my family, and I had a newborn baby. Although it was a pretty mild East Coast winter, I got to (experience) winter through my children's eyes for the first time. My sons, Gus and Ozzie, inspired many of my designs for the collaboration."
The collection is made up of 45 pieces which are available in a wide range of sizes, from newborn to size 12. There are also some adult pieces, including sweaters, jackets, pyjamas and matching family-style sets, which range in size between XS to XXXL.
Mandy explained to the publication that she has been familiar with Gymboree since a young age.
"Getting new Gymboree clothes was always a special occasion for me," she said of her childhood. "As a parent now, I recognize the joy of special moments. My husband is amenable when I want to do the matching family style set thing and right now my kids are too young to object. There's a small sliver of time parents get when our kids are this young where we get to play dress up with them like this. Dressing up is such a fun part of parenthood that I hadn't thought about until I had my own kids."
Mandy shares her two sons with her husband Taylor Goldsmith.
Gymboree XO Mandy Moore is now available online and in-store.
