Eva Mendes: First Post-Baby Interview to Violet Grey

Eva Mendes gave her first post-baby interview. The actress talked to Cassandra Huysentruyt Grey, of Violet Grey, about life as a new mother, her beauty regime and about her clothing collection for New York & Company. In the editorial accompanying the interview, Eva is captured in one of her own designs for New York and Company.

The actress revealed to Grey, "I love a waist. I love a beautiful dress. When I am designing with my partners I try to think about the woman I'm designing for, where she's going, what her life is like. That's why I don't design jeans or many pants. I think the easiest way to make a woman look beautiful is to put her in a dress that fits her properly."

Eva is wearing the Coral Clusters Maria Dress from her holiday collection, available for purchase and online the first week of December. The dress is priced at $99.95. New York and Company celebrated the one year anniversary of Eva's collection for the retailer this past September.
