Michelle Obama is a phenomena, she has managed to create her own look and pioneer young designers throwing them into design superstardom. And for her latest style outing the First Lady was seen wearing a British designer.
Michelle wore a gorgeous Spring/Summer 09 Basso & Brooke top to the White House Evening of Poetry and Music. She teamed her gorgeous top with a pair of white Maison Martin Margiela cropped trousers along with some statement silver shoes.
It is exciting to see her wearing Basso & Brooke who are a fabulous design duo but who have yet to gain the status of designers such as Matthew Williamson or Jonathan Saunders.
Unsurprisingly the designers behind her fab top were pretty excited, Basso & Brooke told Vogue.com:
“We were amazed when we saw the picture, She is such a strong, stylish lady - redefining a woman’s wardrobe - and for her to select us is an honour. The evening was a music and poetry event, and we think it worked perfectly for that.”
It was a great look, a perfect blend of dressy casual and fashion forward.
That’s about right!
FLOTSAM er I mean FLOTUS’s fashion choices make perfect sense if she starts her mornings with, “How can I degrade America today?”
No words necessary.
Even ol’ Cankles the Hildabeast respected protocol and knew how to dress appropriately, even if she was the first lady of frump. This Obama harridan is a shameless primadonna who is attempting to degrade the role of first lady down to a carnival barker who just won the lottery... by seizing the cash box.
Ooooh, gross.
At least Cankles' appearance isn't embarrassing.
You know, she kind of reminds me of some of the feminist-type college students, who deliberately dress poorly as a form of rebellion against “typical white partiarchal expectations.”
Frankly, I agree with another freeper on this thread: She simply has no fashion context. None. She does not consider the event, the audience, the appropriateness of her choice.
And why the Hades she CANNOT pose for a photo-op I will never know. Great Scott! Half the time she looks like she stepped off the court for a quick snap then back to the game.
I’m sorry, don’t mean to be catty, but is this a photoshopped pic? If not, then am I the only one who thinks she looks as if she’s sitting on a toilet? I mean that’s a horrible position. Talk about unlady like, and in a school room to boot. Also what’s going on with her right arm? Looks as if it’s been slashed.
“... am I the only one who thinks she looks as if she’s sitting on a toilet?”
No, you’re not the only one who thinks that! :0)
