Fans of Duchess Kate can likely recall her most memorable maternity and postpartum looks from memory, and among the most iconic is the fuchsia jersey dress (see below!) that she wore in the family's first official portrait together with Prince George. The designer behind the dress, Cecile Reinaud of Séraphine Maternity, visited the Destination Maternity flagship in Manhattan this weekend, where the British line is now being sold.

Kate's not the only bold-faced name in the Séraphine fan club, as Cecile told us: "We've dressed Gwen Stefani recently, and it's been great to see her take her 'rock chic' approach. After the duchess, it was really showing that our brand can be classic or really edgy. We dressed Halle Berry . . . Kate Winslet, Jessica Alba, Jennifer Garner. Most of them!"

"I knew [that Kate was a fan of the line] because we had orders going to Kensington Palace," Cecile told us. "It was very exciting. But what was really exciting was that she chose to wear one of our dresses weeks after the baby had been born. That was really the best testimony. It showed that maternity clothing didn't have to be these drab clothes that you dread wearing and can't wait to throw out. They can be pieces that you really love and feel good in, and wear for nursing as well."
