If These Designers Could Dress Michelle Obama...

WWD requested sketches of Inauguration outfits for Michelle Obama and her daughters Malia and Sasha from a host of top designers. Some had no interest in providing unsolicited advice and therefore declined the request, yet others were only too happy to oblige. I found some of the sketches to be quite unappealing (Zac Posen, all three of them) and thought it a good thing this was just a fantasy exercise!

I'd love to see this First Trio dressed by Rodarte (what a dream that would be), but in the real world I think Isaac Miz and Oscar de la Renta conjured up some rational and fashionable looks. (I had to include Christian Lacroix - see his first look further down, can you imagine?):
