"First Lady of Fashion".........

Access Hollywood recently aired a segment asking "Can Michelle Obama Save the Fashion Industry" referring to Michelle Obama as the "One Woman Bailout". I guess it all started with Michelle's appearance on The View wearing a White House Black Market dress.

Immediately, Michelle Obama identified with American women all over by shopping on a budget and sticking to classic American designers. Clearly, the black and white dress sold out overnight. She's been compared to Jackie O mainly due to her unique personal style and choice of American designers. Like Jackie O, they both are very different from other first ladies of the White House who tend to look like the typical southern belles. I do believe Michelle has the potential to be a style icon for women in their 40s & 50s BUT........ Bailing out the Fashion Industry uhmmmmmm.....


Are you serious??? Most of us have heard the condition of the retail industry with Macy's closing 11 retail locations, retail sales plummeting, and fashion houses just not making the cuts but dang, the "power couple" can't save us from everything. What else must we expect the Obamas to bail us out of. ONE WOMAN CAN'T DRIVE SALES FOR THE RETAIL INDUSTRY SINGLEHANDEDLY!!! It takes more than that. It takes those women whom she inspires to get out and care about their image. They have to want to look stylish and get out of the fashion rut. But most importantly, we need money to drive sales and from the looks of it...this may take awhile.
