CIMS » Pregnant Celebrities Latinas create niche market in baby cloths.

Within weeks of each other, Christian Aguilera and Jennifer Lopez confirmed the obvious, that they are pregnant. These high profile pregnancies follow in the foot steps of the most recent new celebrity Latina mommies, actresses Selma Hyack and Thalia Sodi. With all eyes on these fashion icons and proud Latina’s, these first time mami’s are helping to carve a niche in the baby clothing industry.With Latinos accounting for 9 percent of all U.S. buying power, ($923 billion) by 2008, larger retailers are recognizing the trend in Latino items. Kohols, Target, Kmart and Perry Ellis all have lines geared towards Latinos. As our nations largest and fastest growing minority, the The U.S. Census bureau estimates that Hispanic households with incomes over $100,000 went up by 137 percent between 1990 and 2000. Latino shoppers — mostly women — shelled out $15.7 billion last year for clothing in the United States, according to NPD Group, a marketing firm based in Port Washington, N.Y. As the nation continues to experience this demographic growth, we are witnessing a new transnational culture reshaping and redefining our daily lives. “*
