Fashion Merchandising

every first lady develops her signature style, barbara bush kept it matronly, hillary clinton stuck to pantsuits, and laura bush depended on oscar de la renta classics and carolina herrera. it was jacqueline kennedy that took america’s breath away. her grace and elegance shined through her clean cut, solid colored outfits. paired with over sized sunglasses, pearls and perfect feminine jackets
- her style was impeccable.

michelle obama is sincerely a women of our times. a modern mother who is sporting up to date fashions with perfect tailoring and feminine touches. she wears everything from designer to low cost designs like the flowered sundress she wore on “the view” that only cost $148 at white house/black market and the bright yellow j. crew ensemble she wore on “the tonight show”.

michelle always looks chic and perfectly put together in pieces by chicago designer maria pinto, like the one she wore when barrack claimed the democratic nomination- a sleeveless, purple sheath accessorized with large pearls.

on election night the future first lady wore a gorgeous red-and-black chiffon narciso rodriguez dress from the spring 2009 collection. it took a lot of confidence to pull this bold dress off and she did it with class and elegance.

no matter what she’s wearing michelle always looks perfectly put together.
