*Chicago Tribune*Michelle Obama is quite aware that her role as the First Lady requires her to be the target of intense scrutiny and criticism. And she also knows that from the day her husband was sworn in as the 44th president of the United States, and until President Obama leaves the White House permanently, her every fashion blunder and victory will be quickly documented and a crucial part of her legacy as a First Lady.
While it may not make sense to most, the historical evidence is there.
People still talk about how independently stylish Jackie O was, do they not? They talk about her fashion sense more than the different causes she took on while she was First Lady.
So if fashion is such an important part of a First Lady's legacy, it would only make sense to seek professional counsel.
And Michelle Obama knew she had to get the best. Only Michelle Obama would choose a fashion industry powerhouse in the making as her fashion advisor.
