Coveted fashion designers from Michael Kors to Diane Von Furstenberg sketched designs for Michelle Obama to wear to Inauguration Week. The designs include beautiful ball gowns, suits, coats, and even dresses for daughters Malia and Sasha to wear.
Here are some of my favs (I have quite a few):
Isaac Mizrahi
This is my favorite out of all of the designs. Mizrahi's choices of fabulous fruity colors would look great on all three.
Michael Kors
Beautifully silhouetted and royally blue.
Diane Von Furstenberg
DVF has a knack for drapery and drama and knows how to capture the elegance of a woman, which Mrs. O has plenty of.
Elie Tahari
Another stunning silhouette. I'm not familiar with the designer, but everything right down to the slick and chic chignon is right on!
Badgley Mischka
Another great color choice. The deep purple and jeweled detailing are definitely show stopping.
One of the few day looks from the collection of sketches. It's casually chick and subtly patriotic.
Some sketches that I was not so fond of:
Christian Lacroix
The gown and gloves are nice, but the overly dramatic cape and patriotic purse is distracting. Not to mention he drew her scowling in his sketch.
Betsey Johnson:
Oh say can we not see! I know Bets is known for her whimsicality, but this is way too literal. And why did she draw Mrs. O looking dragish?
