They are very similar.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-politics-of-fashion#post-1703416 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 05:44:36 +0000 rachylou 1703416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Siriano was a good choice and he did just right. Who the First Lady picks to dress her is really quite important. It's a huge signal. Political, economic and social.</p> <p>I wonder if Christian Siriano talks to Isaac Mizahri (sp?), who is also a designer for the people. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-politics-of-fashion#post-1703389 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 04:24:38 +0000 Suz 1703389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great article, Viva, and she looks wonderful. Good for her.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-politics-of-fashion#post-1703234 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 01:24:22 +0000 Eliza 1703234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loved the dress, the designer's story and the chance to listen. Thanks for posting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-politics-of-fashion#post-1703065 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 22:21:30 +0000 Sal 1703065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle looks stunning in this dress and good on her for supporting Christian Siriano - perfect choice for the occasion. &nbsp;I loved the dress he designed for Leslie Jones - he has such an elegant style.</p> <p>But who knew Donald T had a clothing line, manufactured offshore? &nbsp;I certainly was unaware of that fact. &nbsp;I won't be looking that one up:)</p> <p>We are all avidly and anxiously watching the US election.<br /> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-politics-of-fashion#post-1703060 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 22:05:55 +0000 Angie 1703060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mrs. O was mesmerizing in <b></b>every<b></b> possible way last night. Well done Christian Siriano.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-politics-of-fashion#post-1703018 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 21:39:02 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1703018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just read that article, too, and liked it for the same reasons. I had been following the nastiness around that actress from Ghostbusters and was impressed that he stepped up. I'm glad M'Obama helped him get more spotlight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-politics-of-fashion#post-1703015 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 21:37:36 +0000 viva 1703015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved this little piece in the NYTimes about Michelle Obama wearing Christian Siriano for her speech at the DNC last night. Whatever your politics, she looked great (if a tad conservative for me). &nbsp;It still amazes me that he is the only truly successful designer to emerge from Project Runway, and this short article seems to nail why that is so: he really embraces the idea of designing for <i>everyone</i>. So, yes, he dressed the first lady; but I also remember his first collection for Payless Shoes.&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://tinyurl.com/zq2bv5m">http://tinyurl.com/zq2bv5m</a><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/27/fashion/michelle-obama-christian-siriano-democratic-national-convention.html?hp&amp;action=click&amp;pgtype=Homepage&amp;clickSource=story-heading&amp;module=b-lede-package-region&amp;region=top-news&amp;WT.nav=top-news"></a> </p>
