Will Michelle be the next Handbag Icon?

We are all still feeling Obama fever over here, I am totally besotted with the new president but from the stance of this blog I am more interested in Michelle Obama’s fashion style. She has certainly looked good throughout the campaign, although my least favourite outfit was the dress she wore for the declaration in Chicago. I don’t like the way the black panel cuts her in half across the middle. Based on the showing so far we can expect some great outfits and designer handbags when the formal engagements begin for the new first couple. And the girls look cute in their bubbly dresses. As for Barack, he has a way with a suit that very few men possess. It is not down to money: you can see guys in Savile Row suits who look like Pomegranate trees. You either have it or not, and the new president definitely has style.
