Trista Sutter launches 'Winter Rose' collection with My Vintage Baby
Once the queen of reality TV, "Bachelorette" star Trista Sutter is now tapping into her creative side. The 37-year-old mother of two is designing children's clothes for My Vintage Baby (myvintagebaby.com).
On Aug. 1, Trista launched her Winter Rose collection. She has an adorable 1-year-old daughter Blakesley, and a 3-year-old, Max. Trista opened up to Celebrity Baby Scoop about launching her new collection in which some of the proceeds will go to diabetes research. She also talks about her kids and family life in gorgeous Colorado.
Celebrity Baby Scoop: Tell us about the Winter Rose collection you designed with My Vintage Baby.
Trista Sutter: I am so excited! I've always loved anything related to babies — especially little baby clothes! So, My Vintage Baby is giving me the chance to use my creative juices and come up with a line. We're starting with just one collection this fall, the Winter Rose. The fabrics are just so vibrant. A lot of their stuff has details with animal print. I just think that a little touch of animal print here and there is a really, really cute thing.
I think that all of their clothes have such style and flare. They're unique and you'd be able to find them in a boutique, but they're not overly priced, so I jumped at the chance to be involved. I'm a mom mostly, 99 percent of the time, mixed in with a little wife too, obviously. I really wanted to do something that makes me feel that I have one or two brain cells left (laughs), and not just be changing diapers all day, and be a productive adult in society. This is such a great way to do that."
CBS: So you're feeling ready to get back to work again.
TS: I am. And luckily I can do it from home. I'm just involved in the designing process so we can do that with the technology we have these days. I can do that from home really easily and they can send me swatches and that sort of thing.
CBS: Is Winter Rose for girls and boys?
TS: Winter Rose is just for girls. They don't really have collections for boys, they just have a couple different outfits for them. But I'm really excited about the boy's shirt I designed. It's a black, long-sleeve button down that has white stitching all along the edges with white buttons and this great white beading on the back that has a skull with wings. I think the contrast between a sweet, innocent little boy and something so hard is so great — I love that style. So we have that shirt and another brown shirt that has the same pattern on it."
