The Pragmatist Fashion Of The First Lady Of The United States

As the wife of Obama, the first African American president to take office in the financial crisis, Michel Obama knows how to make her wardrobe fit into the Democratic presidential husband.

Michel's cover photo was taken by female photographer Anne - Laibo Wei.

The location was Obama Adams's first family stay before the inauguration ceremony.

Michel was dressed in a pink purple silk dress designed by Jason Wu. She wore the White Chiffon dress on the night of her husband's inauguration dance in the evening of January 21st, also from the young designer of the January 21st.

Michel, chief editor of Vogue magazine, reported that the dress of "Vogue" is mostly decided by magazines. However, Michel has her own opinion that she knows her own dress very well and hardly needs magazines to give advice.

"Michel's soft figure is not very common to the first lady of the United States, and she trusts the new forces in the American fashion design industry, such as Wu Jigang and Cuban woman designer Isabel Toledo, who also designed for her the yellow coloured suits and dark green leather gloves at the inauguration, helping her win the Title of" new Jacqueline Kennedy ".

"But compared with Jacqueline Kennedy, Michel's style is more practical, not gorgeous," Terry said.

Greer, a famous contemporary feminist, has described the role of the first lady in a slightly sarcastic way - "that is the kind of person standing on the side of the suit and wearing shoes with lipstick on her heels and feet."

In German's view, the first lady needs to do is to pick herself a beautiful skirt.

However, it seems that this simple choice of dress is the message carrier of her husband's political orientation, full of political wisdom.

In 1960s, Kennedy was one of the most important topics to repair diplomatic relations between the United States and European countries when he was elected president of the United States.

So, first lady Jacqueline Kennedy's fluent French and her Givenchy and Chanel suit began to appear frequently in the front page headlines of the major media.

Another former first lady of the United States, Nancy Reagan, is often dressed in designer costume made by Losangeles designer James - La nous. Luxurious fabrics and high prices make people intuitively feel how rich the United States was at that time (1980s) and the determination of Reagan to make full efforts to develop the American economy.

As the wife of Obama, the first African American president in the financial crisis, the standard middle class earning more than $300 thousand a year, Michel knows how to fit her wardrobe with the Democratic presidential husband.

In the November 4th presidential election contest, Michel wore a red and black U collar and a cross dress.

The fashion circle has criticized its bad comments, and the outspoken people call it a volcano eruption. Some euphemistic people think it is a "harmless mistake".

But the skirt comes from NarcisoRodriguez. He is an American designer of ethnic minorities (Cuban blood). Michel's choice is absolutely politically correct.

2 days before, Obama's grandmother died, mourning for her relatives in Africa to wear red and black clothes, Michel's skirt expressed her grief, and her husband Obama played a beautiful family card.

Barnes, director of the fashion department of New York boutique, a high-end shopping center, said Michel borrowed a message from this dress, "do yourself, do not be left by others."

If you want to understand the meaning of this sentence, you just need to open up Michel's wardrobe to see: she wore the black and white checked skirt on the US National Day in 2008. She wore a sundress priced in the ABC TV interview for only 148 dollars, and Target, H&M, WhiteHouse/ BlackMarket and other civilian clothing brands occupied most of Michel's wardrobe space.

Although in the election process, she has passed several famous designer's works, but also with some cheap fashion clothes mixed together to wear.

Michel's style of mixing famous brands and cheap goods is not only modern, but also reflects the new style of fashion in the US.

Michel's pragmatism fashion coincides with her husband Obama's bold innovation, pragmatism supremacy and the political image of the people. In addition, the United States is in the background of economic depression, and this kind of sober wisdom is even more valuable.

Doris, a woman historian who wrote many American presidents, said: "she is likely to become a model, telling the middle class of the United States that some clothes are not expensive, but they are also very good to wear." - Kearns, Goodwin.

In August 2008, on the first day of the Democratic National Convention, Michel wore a green tight skirt designed by Chicago designer Maria Pinto, worth 795 dollars.

During this period, she wore some other skirts designed by Pinto.

Pinto's designs are sold in the Sax Fifth Avenue chain store.

According to her own, sales of her works have increased by 45% in the past year, thanks in part to Michel's favor.

With the decline in US retail sales, it is predicted that Michel may drive the American consumption desire.

In fact, Michel's "advertising effect" is being confirmed.

After wearing the DonnaRicco brand black and White Sleeveless sundress in the "opinion" program, the $148 skirt sold 2500 at WhiteHouse/BlackMarket retail store.

In addition, she mentioned the lattice skirt of the supermarket chain brand J.Crew in NBC's Jay Leno tonight show. She also said she had bought a colorful tight skirt on the Internet for $89.99.

The two clothes were sold out on the J.Crew website the next day.

David Wolf, creative director of the US purchasing consultant and trend forecasting agency DonegerGroup, said in an interview with the media: "no matter what Michel does, she may bring benefits to the retail industry because people pay attention to her and her dress."

Womensweardaily believes that in the past 20 years, celebrities, celebrities and designers have joined hands to make people fall into an overly luxurious illusory world, but Michel is likely to help people turn their attention back to the real world.

"I will not pretend not to care, but I must also take care of reality.

Because no matter what clothes they wear, there will be people who do not like it. Their tastes are different.

The most important thing is to be comfortable and wear what I love.

In response to the question of dressing style put forward by Vogue, Michel said, "imagine what makes you happy and what makes you feel comfortable and beautiful. If I have any influence, I hope women will be confident and enjoy fashion."
