Elsa, Laurence, Audrey, all fashion gurls… Fashion authority WWD asked a handful of designers to sketch out what they thought the president-elect and his wife should wear at the inauguration ball in January. Suggestions for her (and the daughters); I like Mizrahi, Acra and Lacroix sketches the most (though Lacroix’s a tad overboard). On the men’s side, Obama gets day and evening suits mostly with an “updated yet classic sartorial style”. My vote goes to Ellie Tahari for day, the black Nautica suit for evening.
I think Michelle would look absolutely stunning in the Badgley Mischka gown. For my man Barack, I also vote for the Nautica suits, although I do like the Tommy Hilfiger designs as well. Aaaah the trials and tribulations of a President! ;)
