Ariane Goldman is used to life-changing events informing her retail brands. Goldman’s professional career began at American Express, where she worked in the marketing department. In 2007, Goldman left to launch Twobirds New York, a collection of bridesmaids’ dresses designed to be wrapped in more than 15 ways to flatter women of all shapes and sizes. In 2010, Goldman was pregnant with her first child when she grew frustrated by the lack of stylish wardrobe options for expecting women. Seeing yet another void in the market, she created HATCH — chic, timeless pieces women could invest in during pregnancy and continue to wear afterward.
Focused on developing the HATCH retail presence throughout the United States, Goldman is currently intent on creating a physical community space that provides education, information and connection for expecting mothers and all women in its flagship locations in New York City and Los Angeles.
