Celebrated for her style and substance, Michelle Obama has
transformed the role of first lady and become a 21st century
icon, attracting attention from all over the world. The
qualities so admired in her - intelligence, strength and
charisma - radiate through her personal style, which has
united accessibility with high-wattage glamour. The clothes,
like the woman, feel both familiar and inspirational.
Readily mixing high-end labels with more affordable brands,
with a focus on craftsmanship and artistry, Mrs. O has
elevated the notion of real value and ushered in a new era
of "fashion democracy". Building on the success of Mrs-O.org - the Web site that
chronicles Michelle Obama's style - MRS. O: THE FACE OF
FASHION DEMOCRACYtakes a closer look at America's modern
style icon, featuring more than 120 photographs of the first
lady and delving into the back story of her clothes and
accessories. It also goes behind the scenes with interviews
from her favorite designers, including Isabel Toledo, Jason
Wu, Michael Kors, Maria Pinto and Isaac Mizrahi. Opening with a brief overview of Michelle Obama's early
years, the book goes on to provide rarely seen photos from
behind-the-scenes on the presidential primary trail through
the 2008 Democratic National Convention, the monumental
events of election night, the inauguration and early
chapters of life in the White House. The final chapter hears
the opinions of Mrs. O's adoring fans - giving the last word
to the people. Original photographs of Michelle Obama's most iconic looks,
along with commentary from fashion experts, top off this
tactile visual feast. Woven together with sketches and
illustration inspired by the first lady, the book reveals
the story of a new era of American fashion.
