Because of course, the most pressing issue of concern right now is what Mrs Obama wears? All this 'spokesperson' has done is manifest some incredibly negative PR for herself & 'the people' she represents. Got to love those Americans. I’m glad you highlighted that!

Though, a nod to an African American designer in one of those outfit changes would have been nice! While I do see where Amnau is coming from, this was also a moment for AMERICAN designers to shine.
