You rarely come across women in the political sector who aren’t afraid to embrace their femininity and hone in on their sense of style. Our future first lady Michelle Obama gets it right! In the words of our Fashion Director Memsor Kamarake, “we are catching an early glimpse of the only candidate in recent memory who can pose a challenge to Jackie O’s legendary style.” Her ability to make a classic shift dress look hotter than ever is the reason why she’s been on our fashion radar. Here, we follow her two recent DNC stunner looks:
During her own speech at the Democratic National Convention, Michelle Obama opts for a turquoise blue three-quarter sleeve, ‘50s-inspired sheath dress by designer Maria Pinto, from her hometown of Chicago.
STYLE NOTE: Maria Pinto launched her career with an accessories collection at Bergdorf Goodman and later expanded into womens ready-to-wear. Her forte – creating pieces that flatters a women’s figure. Go to http://www.mariapinto.com/ for more information.
At her husband's DNC acceptance speech Mrs. Obama wears a floral Radzimir Kimono dress from the Thakoon Pre-Spring 2009 collection. “I am incredibly honored that Michelle Obama chose to wear a dress from my collection on such a historical night for her, her family and this country,” Thakoon states.
STYLE NOTE: American designer Thakoon Panichgul debuted his first womenswear collection in 2004, and is highly recognized for his fresh take on prints and ultra feminine frocks. Go to http://www.thakoon.com/ for more information about this designer.
