First Michelle Obama Fashion Tome About to Drop
April 27, 2009
The debut Michelle Obama fashion book is gearing up to hit bookstore shelves May 5, just in time for the First Lady’s "100 days in Washington" benchmark (a smart move on the publisher’s part, since it's likewise just shy of Mother’s Day). As for the pitch behind the tome: “It’s her journey to the White House through the filter of her style,” says author Mandi Norwood of the book, Michelle Style: Celebrating the First Lady of Fashion. So, in other words, the book simply documents the looks that have so far garnered the First Lady her reputation as a fashion icon (surely with some style musings and tips). The concept isn’t exactly earth-shattering, but considering it’s the first of its kind, the title is sure to sell well.
In the meantime, if you’re ever in need of a Michelle Obama fashion fix, check out New York magazine’s ever-expanding gallery of every look the First Lady has donned since her first days in office. Regardless, don’t expect the First Lady fashion book trend to let up anytime soon. The folks behind the First Lady fashion blog Mrs. O have a book in the works too. And in all likelihood, a few more will follow suit before total Mrs. O style oversaturation occurs.

Really? Michelle Obama, the First Lady who bopped around Europe in weekend wear and met the Queen of Great Britain in a cardigan is now a fashion icon? Before she starts selling her fashion secrets, she should get a sense of occasion and dress correctly for her body type.

Hey Stephanie, I think CASHMERE is appropriate to wear when visiting the Queen of England. Think Oscar De la Renta was just “pissed-off” because Mrs. Obama is choosing to wear clothes from younger and unknown fashion designers. As far as body type fashions, Mrs. Obama has been right on the mark by showing off her best assets, namely, her perfect waist and her beautiful biceps. Don’t be jealous. Mrs Obama is the President’s wife and THE FIRST LADY of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA.

SOUNDS LIKE WE HAVE SOME HATERS COMMENTING ON THE FIRST LADY...WOW, never thought people would stoop so low. I would like to know the sense of style Stephanie and Jamie has? As they seem to be the only ones who dont get that she is a fashion ICON now.
Guest Barbara and Laura Bush were their likes of being BORING dresser.
