Mommy Chic was founded by the husband-and-wife team Peter and Angela Chew in 1998. The line was borne out of frustration when an expecting Mrs. Chew could not find stylish clothing suitable for work or special occasions. It seemed that there were two choices at the time, said Angela. I could either spend a few hundred dollars for a polyester crepe suite at a major chain or wear oversized shirts and tees with drawstring pants." With those slim options, she began designing her first Mommy Chic collection.    

Mommy Chic fashions are worn by celebrities such as Brandy, Ricki Lake, Kelly Ripa, Uma Thurman and Cate Blanchett.
