J.Crew is using Sasha and Malia Obama to market some of its spring and summer styles, in a press release sent ...
... to reporters Monday afternoon titled "The Obama Girls Bring Some American Style to Moscow."
"Malia & Sasha wore J.Crew and crewcuts as they exited Air Fore One in Moscow — stylish in their trenches, they also accessorized with ballet flat shoes," the release says.
The notice includes two photographs of Sasha and Malia deplaning Air Force One with their parents and an image of the J.Crew logo.
From this day forth, no j Crew for moi
Malia, for instance, was sporting the Silk Taffeta Trench ($298) and black satin ballet flats with contrast trim ($98), the e-mail notes. Whereas Sasha, 8, was wearing the girls’ crushed twill trench ($169.99) and girls’ minna printed ballet flats in classic navy ($108).
In the past, first lady Michelle Obama has publicly credited J.Crew a number of times for designing her duds, including the yellow sweater-set and skirt she famously wore on “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno” during the campaign. And the company took credit for creating the coats and gloves the first daughters wore during the Inauguration.
I wonder how much money the Obama’s are getting from J. Crew for the press and advertizing of their products?
Leave it to the democrats to find ways to grab money that they are not entitled to, whether it’s renting out the Lincoln Bedroom (using the White House as their personal hotel), or raiding the White House art when moving out; now we have a president’s family whoring themselves as fashion experts.
Once upon a time, the Office of the President of America had a bit of respect....
In related news, Abdullah The Tent-Maker has designed a new line of garments for Michelle Obamass.
Where is the ethcis complaint filed against the President? The girls can not sign a contract without parental authority and they can not endorse a product!! Time to show the liberals what Sarah has learned - every action is under a microscope and you can’t do anything without getting permission.
Is it really cold enough to need a coat.
If not then the parents overdressed the kids for why.
Are they being paid in cash or clothes.
Or what??

Note to disappointed moms: stop calling J. Crew - yesterday’s first-kid fashions were two of a kind.
“We’re planning on keeping the things we made for the Obama family uniquely theirs,” said Jenna Lyons, creative director of the company, which designed the inauguration outfits for Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7. “We are not reproducing or duplicating anything, especially for the young girls.
(snip)
Although J. Crew - whose stock jumped more than 10 percent yesterday - insisted it will never retail duplicates of Malia’s and Sasha’s outfits, word didn’t get out immediately.
Crewcuts’ SoHo location was inundated with phone calls, and its Web site crashed several times because of mothers logging on to buy first-kid fashion.

The people did not elect Obama, Madison Avenue did. The Obama is a marketing dream, but America’s worst nightmare.

Malia is a very tall girl for her age—at least up to her mother’s shoulders height or a little more. By the time my daughter whose adult height is 5’9” reached Malia’s height, I could no longer buy her girls’ sizes. We had moved into adult sizes. Also considering her height I highly doubt her feet would fit into any of Crew”s children’s shoes. So if she is wearing Crew’s children’s clothing they would have to be specially adapted to her size.
