Obama Chic

The would-be first lady's fashion is already grabbing attention. Michelle Obama is being closely watched as a fashion icon, and is being regarded as someone with a wonderful sense of style. This much attention has not been paid to the potential first lady’s fashions since the exquisite taste of Jackie Kennedy, and some are even daring to comparing the two. Michelle Obama’s style sense receives as much attention as her political views. Michelle is always dressed appropriately and has a very definite sense of herself. She has made big belts and large pearls part of her signature style. Michelle Obama has been photographed in Maria Pinto's figure-flattering looks, Pinto is a designer in Michelle's hometown of Chicago, Illinois. After graduating from The Art Institute of Chicago she attended Parsons School of Design and the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. She than began selling her designs in Barneys New York and Saks Fifth Avenue, and she recently opened her first boutique in downtown Chicago. Thanks to Pinto's exquisite designs Michelle Obama is becoming a fashion icon.
