With an apparent baby boom in the fashion world right now - models Jourdan Dunn, Heidi Klum and Gisele Bundchen are all confirmed or rumoured to be pregnant - it seems only fitting that River Island should launch its first ever maternity line.
The range, which was inspired by '80s fashion and pop icons Debbie Harry and Grace Jones, promises to be "on trend and directional, providing an energised and punk-inspired maternity wardrobe" for fashion forward mums-to-be.
The rock-inspired fashion maternity collection, priced from £20 to £75, will feature graphic print T-shirts, grungy knits, jumpsuits, shift dresses, draped jersey tops and denim, as well as sequinned harem pants and glossy leggings with elasticated pregnancy panels.
Outerwear is another key part of the line, with cosy winter coats and faux fur gilets a key staple, as well as flat, distressed hobnail boots making up part of the accessories section.
The collection hits River Island stores and online from 31 August.
