Children of Fashion

Another model mom! Lara Stone and her husband, comedian David Walliams, welcomed a baby boy into their family over the weekend. The couple's son is their first child.

While neither Stone nor Walliams has made an official announcement about their happy addition, Walliams confirmed reports when he tweeted a picture of a congratulatory bouquet from music executive Simon Cowell.

The couple was relatively low-key about Stone's pregnancy. When they announced she was expecting last November, they asked for observers to respect their privacy. In January, i-D Magazine published a picture of Stone that put the emphasis on her then-growing belly.

Congratulations are in order for Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman, who gave birth to a boy late last week.

Page Six reported that Chapman and her movie-mogul husband, Harvey Weinstein, welcomed the new addition to their family on Thursday in New York. It's the first son for both Chapman and Weinstein and the second child the couple has had together (they had a daughter, India Pearl, in 2010). Weinstein has three daughters — Emma, Lily, and Ruth — from his first marriage.

Update: Page Six has reported that the baby's name is Dashiell Max Robert. The first name is for The Thin Man author Dashiell Hammett (a source said Weinstein was reminded of the book's main female character, Nora Charles, when he first met Chapman). Max was Weinstein's father's name, and he and his brother Robert (known as Bob) formed both Miramax and The Weinstein Company together.

Margherita Missoni and Eugenio Amos, who married just under one year ago in a gorgeous Brunello wedding, are expecting their first child. And though the couple revealed the news to WWD a few weeks ago at the Vogue Talents Corner party in Milan, it wasn't until this week's CR Fashion Book party in Paris that their big news was apparent. Missoni, who wore a slim-fitting sparkling pink gown and draped silk jacket to the event, posed for pictures holding her stomach, smiling, and looking radiant all the while.

Update: Margherita Missoni told Grazia that she and her husband are expecting a baby boy — and they already have possible names picked out. "We are thinking to perhaps call him Lupo or Otto," she said. "But we shall see."

With no trace of her missing uncle, Vittorio Missoni, Margherita said news of her pregnancy couldn't have come at a better time.

"It was like a miracle or something that I would become pregnant at that time. Everyone especially my grandmother is going crazy for the baby," she said. "Not only is he the first of the fourth generation, but with everything with my uncle and the fact that he's a boy. It's like he's the baby Jesus!"

Talk about perfect timing. Less than three weeks after taking her bow at Gucci's Fall 2013 show, Frida Giannini has given birth to a girl.

Giannini and her partner, Gucci CEO Patrizio di Marco, delivered their new daughter on March 2 and named her Greta. A spokesman from the brand told Vogue UK, "Both mother and baby are doing well."

Giannini and di Marco announced they were expecting a child last November, but the excitement of the new addition hasn't slowed down the designer's schedule. She's expected to go on maternity leave until it's time to work on her upcoming menswear collection, which will be presented in June.

Lara Stone hasn't said much about her pregnancy since November, when her husband David Walliams announced they were having their first child. But in this just revealed photo, Stone looks great pregnant and in "love."

The image, originally taken for an i-D Magazine piece about yoga teacher Nadia Airan, features Stone wearing one of Airan's tank tops emblazoned with the word "Love." The model is glowing, and the tank's knit fabric shows off her growing stomach. There's no word yet on Stone's due date, but judging by the pic below, pregnancy definitely seems to agree with her.

Gucci creative director Frida Giannini announced on Wednesday that she's expecting a child with the brand's CEO, Patrizio di Marco.

This will be the first child for the couple, who have been together since shortly after di Marco was named Gucci's CEO in 2009. Giannini will take a bow at both her upcoming men's show in January and her Spring 2013 women's show in February. Afterward she'll take maternity leave until her next men's show in June.

Though the two have generally been discreet about their relationship, di Marco said last year that their love is "very serious. When in life you choose someone to be with . . . someone you are looking to spend your life with — well, this is a match of minds and souls."

Lara Stone is the newest member of the model moms club. She and her husband comedian David Walliams have announced they're expecting a baby.

"Some wonderful news," Walliams tweeted Thursday morning. "My beautiful wife Lara is pregnant. We are having a baby! It is due next year and we both couldn't be happier."

In a separate statement, the couple said they were "both absolutely thrilled but ask you to please respect our privacy during this precious time."

So far Stone has yet to comment on the news. When she got engaged to Walliams in 2010, Stone told Interview she wanted to be a mother — she was just waiting for the right time.

"I'm not really good at making plans so I don't have any definite plans for the future," she said. "I would love to have a family and kids at some point, but not right now. I'll probably keep [modeling] for a while because it's going pretty well. I guess we'll have to see."

Tom Ford and his partner, Richard Buckley, have welcomed a son to their family, according to New York Times fashion critic Cathy Horyn.

Horyn tweeted Friday morning, "Congratulations to Tom Ford and Richard Buckley on birth of their son, Alexander John Buckley Ford!"

Ford, 51, and Buckley, 64, have been together for 26 years. In May, Ford said he and Buckley wanted to have children, but realized that they'd have to do it in the near future.

"I think I'd better get busy soon, though, because I'd like to be able to pick them up," Ford said.

Update: A birth announcement, pictured below, that was tweeted by journalist Jim Shi claims that Alexander was born on Sept. 23.

>> Supermodel moms-to-be Alessandra Ambrosio and Molly Sims both announced this week that they're having little boys.

Ambrosio announced the news on Facebook last night, posting a photo of herself on the beach with her hand on her baby bump.

"Because I already have a daughter I know what to expect with a girl, so having a boy means it's going to be surprising all over again," Ambrosio wrote. "My fiancé is so excited. Now he has company! He won't be in a house full of girls anymore!"

Sims, who like Ambrosio has walked in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, told the world about her happy news on Tuesday's episode of The Talk. "The only reason why I'm telling this is because we can't make a decision on the nursery," she said. "We are having a baby boy!"
