While the economy is going down the tube,the fashion world has known somewhat of a revival with all the ceremonies that have been planned for January and February. Designers of all levels of popularity have been showing their best designs during this season. Michelle Obama brings style to Washington and the rest of the country while trying to stay very conservative in her price range. She wants other parents to be able to afford these outfits.
Whether you call this new interest in fashion the Michelle Obama's effect or whether you agree with the analysts who say that people are dressing more conservative these days, it is all great business for the likes of Jason Wu and Isabel Toledo who designed some of the First Lady's outfits.
In the meantime, Michelle has shot J. Crew to a new level of popularity as the retailer was picked to dress the First Daughters, Malia and Sasha. J. Crew has received a nice bump in the stock after it claimed credit for the Obama daughter's vivid colors. Thanks to Michelle and her daughters, traffic to the J Crew site has not come down.
There is no doubt that the first Lady sent a message with her dresses. To accentuate her wardrobe, she deliberately chose immigrant designers. It was not by accident that Isabel Toledo's creation and Jason Wu's design were worn. Isabel is a Cuban-born designer who has made a name for herself in this industry. Jason Wu is Taipei-born designer who lives in Vancouver and Paris before interning with Narciso Rodriguez in New York, the fashion capital of the world. Once again, the First Lady shows her support for young, emerging artists and designers. There has been also talk of the special connection with the Cuban designers in her choice. Narciso Rodriguez has Cuban links.
