Fashion Designers Honor Michelle Obama
By Emil Wilbekin Mar 18, 2009
The Council of Fashion Designers of America will honor First Lady Michelle Obama with a Board of Directors Special Tribute for her personal style, mixing high-low and supporting avant-garde talent. Obama has been compared to Jackie O and Nancy Reagan for her interest in fashion. Ms. Obama was even featured on the March cover of Vogue. She has also taken risks by wearing clothing by young or virtually unknown designers like Jason Wu, Thakoon Panichgul and Maria Pinot. “We wanted to acknowledge her in a serious way for her commitment to American fashion,” said Steven Kolb, CFDA President. “A grant will be established in her name a young fashion company.” Work it out Michelle O.
