As the inauguration creeps around the corner, I thought would be fun to look at the sketches commissioned by WWD and pick my five favorites (out of 40 sketches) that I think Michelle should wear. Why? Because who knows? She may be a Fashion Pulse Daily follwer, that’s why!

All Images from WWD.com
Pick #1: Diane von Furstenberg — what’s more American than a wrap dress?
Pick #2: Monique Lhuillier –the vibrant red hue and silken layers would look amazing against her complexion.
Pick #3: Marc Jacobs — this tulip-esque silhouette will give the First Lady a slight fashion forward edge at the ball.

Pick #4: Oscar de la Renta — he proves over and over again that he is truly the best at gowns!

Pick #5: Zero Maria Cornejo — She’s already a fave of Mrs. Obama’s – she really understands how to compliment a figure while displaying a disctinctive design.
Which is your favorite? Write a comment and let me know!

eLUXURY.com, one of the first sites online to tout luxury products, will be shuttering sometime in the next six months. The LVMH-owned site will shift its focus to becoming an online magazine focusing on luxury markets — do we really need another one of these? I personally am quite surprised — I thought they were going head to head with NET-A-PORTER.com, and were doing quite well. Perhaps with the proliferation of luxury brands creating their own online sights contributed to its demise? I can only speculate, but will surely miss the extra 30% even 40% off deals with free shipping.
