When it comes to fashion our First Lady certainly did not take any chances. Mrs. Obama selected to wear a sparkling gold sheath dress with matching coat by Cuban-born American designer Isabel Toledo. She had previously designed a flowing gown that Michelle Obama wore to a fundraiser in Manhattan. Which Mrs. Obama wore a necklace by Tom Binns for the occasion. Also Toledo designed other dresses for Mrs. Obama.
Toledo was honored in September of 2008 by The Couture Council of The Museum at FIT.
Holy Toledo! Isabel Toledo and the Art of Fashion, opening June 19, 2009 through September 26, 2009. The exhibition will feature several key Toledo looks dating back to 1985 as well as illustrations by Ruben Toledo.
