Thank you Michelle Obama for making a profound statement about American creativity, design and craftsmanship. Her choice of clothing for Inauguration Day has the media talking about American artisans and the talents of lesser known American designers. Mrs. Obama didn’t need help from major brand labels or from Paris or Milan to find elegance and style.
Mrs. Obama’s stunning lemon grass day dress with matching jacket were designed by Isabel Toledo and made in her Manhattan studio at the hands of thirteen employees. Ms. Toledo left Cuba as a young girl when her family came to the USA in search of a better life. She has been a designer for 25 years and is a small American entrepreneur we can all be excited for.
Mrs. Obama’s ivory with sparkles evening gown was designed by Jason Wu. Originally born in Taiwan, Mr. Wu works in New York and is only 26. He and his team designed and made the gown by hand in December.
