I have stayed away from writing anything about political fashion mostly because it doesn’t interest me and that I don’t think politicans are all that stylish. They can’t afford to take risks, so they end up being very boring and safe. I tune out.

However, WWD ran as story called, Michelle Obama: What Should She Wear?. It featured Inauguration Ball dress sketches from some designers like

Monique Lhuillier – beautiful red asymmetrical gown

Betsey Johnston – speechless

Karl Lagerfeld – yawn!

Christian Lacroix- I like his sketches for some strange reason. They are a little bizarre. He has like 4 pieces in the slideshow.

My favourite is the Rodarte sketch pictured here. Love!
