Mrs. O. The Face of Fashion Democracy
Review
"The book traces Obama's wardrobe picks, from her wedding to the White House and includes interviews with designers like Maris Pinto, Isabel Toledo and Jason Wu, whose names have become synonymous with White House style' - In Style Magazine
Product Description
Celebrated for her style and substance, Michelle Obama has transformed the role of first lady and become a 21st century icon, attracting attention from all over the world. The qualities so admired in her - intelligence, strength and charisma - radiate through her personal style, which has united accessibility with high-wattage glamour. The clothes, like the woman, feel both familiar and inspirational. Readily mixing high-end labels with more affordable brands, with a focus on craftsmanship and artistry, Mrs. O has elevated the notion of real value and ushered in a new era of "fashion democracy".
Building on the success of Mrs-O.org - the Web site that chronicles Michelle Obama's style - MRS. O: THE FACE OF FASHION DEMOCRACY takes a closer look at America's modern style icon, featuring more than 120 photographs of the first lady and delving into the back story of her clothes and accessories. It also goes behind the scenes with interviews from her favorite designers, including Isabel Toledo, Jason Wu, Michael Kors, Maria Pinto and Isaac Mizrahi.
Opening with a brief overview of Michelle Obama's early years, the book goes on to provide rarely seen photos from behind-the-scenes on the presidential primary trail through the 2008 Democratic National Convention, the monumental events of election night, the inauguration and early chapters of life in the White House. The final chapter hears the opinions of Mrs. O's adoring fans - giving the last word to the people.
Original photographs of Michelle Obama's most iconic looks, along with commentary from fashion experts, top off this tactile visual feast. Woven together with sketches and illustration inspired by the first lady, the book reveals the story of a new era of American fashion.
Please freep the reviews!
We’ll see if what I said gets posted in the next 48 hours.....
At least her boob belts detract the eye from her huge buttocks. Real fashionable, for bovines that is. She makes me envy Tiresias.
Flotus looks and reads like a cheap paperback heartthrob novel

When insanity does, never. LOL
"Please freep the reviews!"
Sorry, I'm left plumb short of words. LOL
I noticed on a Target TV commercial last night they were showing some of Miss-shell’s type of clothes...price range, $9.99-$12.99, cardigans and belts, two for one.
"Fashion Democracy"
They are pathetic!

“Michelle Obama has transformed the role of first lady ..”
She’s transformed the role of First Lady into being a globetrotting clotheshorse with incredibly bad taste, a near-perpetual scowl when unguarded, a complainer about how tough life is in her gilded cage, bad grammar....
and no white friends .... wassup with that?
No the insanity will never end because no one has the balls to tell her “girl, you are ugly”.
WTH?? Can you even imagine Laura Bush in a pose like that????
Lord Jesus. What a stain on American history this thing is!
Plop plop, fizz fizz
Oh what a relief it is
What the holy h*ll??? Please tell me this dress is photoshopped!
Looks like a pinata.
Surely even the First Beast is not dumb enough to come out in something like this.
Patriot.....I could say a lot of things about that picture.....
