First Lady Under Fashion Fire!

I knew that it would only be a matter of time before the attacks would begin on Michelle Obama and her fashion choices. Recently, in WWD, co-founder of the Black Artists Association, Amnau Eele said,

"It's fine and good if you want to be all 'Kumbaya' and 'We Are the World' by representing all different countries. But if you are going to have Isabel Toledo do the inauguration dress, and Jason Wu do the evening gown, why not have Kevan Hall, B Michael, Stephen Burrows or any of the other black designers do something too?" Asked if perhaps the First Lady isn't looking at the world colorlessly, Eele said, "It's one thing to look at the world without color but she had seven slots to wear designer clothes. Why wasn't she wearing the clothes of a black designer? That was our moment."

Personally, I think that it's wonderful that Michelle selected up and coming designers to represent. We must remember that President Obama wasn't elected into office because he is African American, but because he is the best man for the job. Let us also remember that it wasn't just African Americans that voted, but by every race of people. If only African Americans voted for Obama, then I do believe McCain would be our president.

Email me and tell me what you think. I would love to hear from YOU!
