It is no secret that the Obamas are advocates for free handouts, but even in her personal life Michelle Obama does not appear to have shied away from accepting free goodies. Numerous news outlets have reported on the first lady’s proclivity for high fashion. And Mrs. Obama’s pricey tastes have not precluded her ability to wear the outfits over which many women drool.

Rumors abound as to exactly how the first family obtains all the pomp and frills associated with Mrs. Obama’s wardrobe. Do the Obamas pay for it all themselves or are the first lady’s outfits given to her gratis? As with most things, it appears the answer lies somewhere in the middle.

Ikram Goldman, owner of the Chicago boutique Ikram, manages the majority of the first lady’s sartorial needs. Any designer wishing to dress Mrs. Obama must first go through Goldman, who remains exceedingly tight-lipped as to her dealings with the first lady. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Goldman donated $6,900 to Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, yet it is unclear whether Mrs. Obama pays for her services.

True to form, Goldman has yet to respond to any of The Daily Caller’s myriad attempts to contact her.

For those who have forgotten, this is the "designer," "Ms." Goldman:

Would you take fashion advice from a person this ugly and badly dressed? I wouldn't.

I can’t believe she wore that. She is one arrogant woman. They are made for each other.

But, it's very expensive bile.

I'm the last person in the world who should be offering fashion advise or criticism, so I won't. But, I do understand the significant value of any haute couture item. Irrespective of how stylish her clothes are, they're still VERY expensive, and as such, they should be reported like any other gift of value.

“She went to the Gulf..standing on white beaches in a white dress with black splotches all over it.

Poking fun at the oil spill???”

Camouflage.

See 45 as well. (In the red dress ... I dunno who the corspe on the right is.)

She looks like a blood clot...

I’m telling you, whoever dresses MO, really hates her.

I was once so cheesed off at my hubby, I let him leave the house with his fly unzipped, a stain on the back of his shirt & a loose booger.

It’s called payback - and someone (besides us) is getting a good laugh at the Wookie’s expense.

Spare me! I don't want to know who 'drools' over Michelle's outfits. They need their head examined if they drool over her expensive 'designer' junk. It seems more like hero worship instead of fashion sense.

[dforest]

Yeah, you are right. But there is no accounting for taste.

I was under the impression that there were very specific guidelines about what the First Family may receive "free", and the disclosures that must be made with respect to those gifts.

You don't expert the Obamas to follow guidelines do you? And don't you dare ask them because you will be labeled a racist.

re: Would you take fashion advice from a person this ugly and badly dressed? I wouldn’t.

Wow! I have seen homeless women dress with more style than that. However, seeing the designer sure explains a lot about Michelle’s horrendous fashion choices.

Holy Rag Bag Batman! This “thing” is really a designer??

Barnam & Bailey Fashions?

More transparency from Obama’s regime.
