Fashion Miss

First lady Michelle Obama of course received tremendous criticism with her choice of wardrobe for the inaugural event. Let's leave out the comments of anchors and hosts of morning shows who said her choices were magnificent. While the first dress she wore received critical acclaim, the gown she wore at the inaugural ball was (okay, let us be nice) a painful sight to behold. It doesn't take one to be a fashion designer or critic to know that the gown was a bad choice. Or to say it more clearly- "a major fashion disaster."

Well, come on, let us face the fact that it didn't made her shine unlike the first gown did. The young designer was so ecstatic about the whole thing that he appeared (and even called) on several shows and you know talked about the usual tittle-tattle thing about the design etc. Well, what can the designer say about the criticitism but brush them aside. He'd probably say, "Well, my gown was worn by a first lady." Sigh, we know it was an honor to have designed the first lady's gown but you don't want to be noted in fashion history books as "the designer who made that awful looking gown a first lady wore at the inaugural ball." Well, you may have found fame in this, but it wasn't positive.




Why didn't Mrs. Obama choose a gown similar to what Renee Zellweger wore for a Marie Claire photoshoot? It would have made the fashion industry beam with pride.








I know I've read something about the said designer somewhere. So, I went through my magazines and true enough there he was being noted as the next designer to shine in the fashion world.

The white coat with black embellishments costs more than $5,000.

Heck, I could probably find a smiliar coat at Goodwill for $5 and it would be brand new and unused.
