Due Date Coming Soon

Vanessa Newman always knew she would eventually want kids. When she was 16, Newman, who identifies as a masculine-presenting queer, started contemplating what she would possibly wear during her pregnancy. Thus, her concept for Butchbaby & Co. was born: a maternity clothing line for masculine, transgender, and queer parents, or what she refers to as “alternity.” Two years later she pitched her idea at an LGBT innovation conference at the White House, and it was a hit. In 2015, she recruited a design partner and began a line that was the first of its kind. The launch date is still TBD.
