A young London fashion designer has been commissioned by US First Lady Michelle Obama.
Bunmi Olaye, 27, who runs Bunmi Koko with her partner Francis Udom, was given the honour after sending a prospectus of her designs to the White House.
Soon after a call came to the couple from Washington asking if a coat could be made for Mrs Obama.
Mr Udom said: “Someone said they were from the First Lady's office and she was interested in a cream coat we had featured and could we make it for her.
“We were stunned but kept calm and said we would make her a coat in September. I hope she likes it.”
Ms Olaye, whose company is based in Plaistow, first gained national exposure when former Spice Girl Melanie Brown asked her to make her a dress for this year's Brit Awards. Pictures of the singer wearing the dress alongside former bandmate Geri Halliwell featured in newspapers the following day.
Ms Olaye said: “It has been a really good relationship. Because of all the exposure we got, we've had a lot of interest from other people in the celebrity world.”

Who is paying for it?
Tip: Don’t forget the boob belt.
Even the female fashion designers are gay.
Remember the old garment union song:
“Look for the union label
When you are buying a coat, dress or blouse.
Remember somewhere our union’s sewing
our wages going to feed the kids and run the house,
We work hard but who’s complaining.
Thanks to the I.L.G. we’re paying our way.
So, always look for the union label,
it says we’re able
to make it in the U.S.A.”
What ever happened to Lands End or LL Bean? She was the catalog queen when he was running for President
I’d prefer a tent from Coleman.
You can bet if she picks it up in person, we, the taxpayers, will pay big time.
Bomb Belt!! She’s our Jackie O....I am SO proud of her.
LL Bean is not black, silly!

Michelle's response: Let 'em eat cake.

All of us who actually pay taxes....
This is silly, stupid, and foolish. Everyone knows that cake is fattening, evil, Republican, and Bad For The Children. It is only Evil White People who want your kids to eat cake. Her Highness demands the peasants eat cake-flavored tofu without additional sugar, with "Frostinsz" made from nice healthy bean curd, which would have been grown in the White House Rosegarden garden, except those stupid Secret Servicemen she delegated to care for it let it all die, and she had to have more flown in on Air Force Two for the photo op.
Her Lady, however, will eat cake, because while we are all made equal before the eyes of the Goddess, some are more equal with others. Now go back to tilling the soil, or whatever it is you do.
Al Gore’s mom used to sing him to sleep with that 1970s jingle.
And it just gets better and better. Nero and Marie.
“I’d prefer a tent from Coleman.”
Or a straitjacket.
Someone needs to forward this to Michelle O so she’s aware of the correct way to specify custom tailored garments from the White House:
