Kids say the darndest things, and Heidi Klum's adorable and candid brood is no different! I asked the model and host of the soon-to-air Seriously Funny Kids what her own offspring have said that left her laughing. The mother of four children (with her husband, Seal) — Leni, 6, Henry, 5, Johan, 4, and Lou, 1 — divulged these five favorite musings.
Designers would kill to dress Heidi Klum, but while she was growing up, the model didn't always have access to runway fashions. In an interview with the host of Project Runway and the soon-to-air Seriously Funny Kids, the mom of four — Leni, 6, Henry, 5, Johan, 4, and Lou, 1 — divulged how she kept up with her classmates when it came to name brands. Fond of the Lacoste apparel her friends wore, Klum said, "When my parents went to Thailand they bought a whole bag of Lacoste crocodiles and my mom and I would sew them on my clothes." Klum's daughter Leni doesn't have to worry about what she wears to school since she has a uniform.
Many a couture garment made an appearance at Fashion's Night Out, but Heidi Klum talked overalls at the Destination Maternity event. The model and mom of four (Leni, 6, Henry, 4, Johan, 3, and Lou, 11 months) kicked off the store's Fall shopping season by unveiling her Lavish and Loved lines. I had the opportunity to chat with the Project Runway host and fashion designer as she walked on the pink carpet.
BabySugar: Was it any harder getting back into shape after giving birth to Lou than Leni?
Heidi Klum: I don’t think it has anything to do with baby one up to baby four. You know, you get older and I think that has more to do with it getting harder. I’m 37 now and it’s definitely harder at 37 than when I was 31.
BabySugar: Did you go for a certain look with your last pregnancy?
HK: I wore a lot of different things when I was pregnant. Whatever I could get my hands on to be honest. I tried to fit into my non-maternity clothes for the longest time until I realized that’s just impossible. And then I thought, I’m going to be cool and go into all these different stores, but to be honest, it’s just really hard to find cool things.
BabySugar: What aspects of your maternity wardrobe did you try to incorporate into the Lavish and Loved lines?
HK: When I started designing — sure some things just look better (in black) and it’s just really slimming — it’s easy to mix and match your things and it just always works with anything and everything. But then you get bored so I created some things you can put on when you are bored of your basic things. I brought in some cool prints. Basically the same things you wear when you’re not pregnant that you can wear when you are pregnant.
