Vanessa Bozzacchi Maternity

Pregnant Mom Essentials: Vanessa Bozzacchi

When expecting in Rome...

Vanessa Bozzacchi is the co-owner of Rome-based PR firm, Factory4, whose first child, a baby boy, is on his way. The mom-to be's tomboyish style transitioned easily to chic pregnancy fashion. These days she's swapping her usual formal go-to of tuxedo pants for silk ones with elastic waists and supplementing all her looks with thoughtfully chosen accessories and the perfect jacket. As the expecting mom's May 2nd due date approaches, these are all the things she can't live without.
