Color Story: Richard Nicoll & Sasha Obama
Monday, January 26, 2009
Richard Nicoll's Spring 2009 RTW collection was the first thing that popped into my head on inauguration day when I glimpsed the impossibly cute ensembles worn by the First Daughters. His was one of my favorite collections for Spring, and the color-combination on little Sasha was just perfect. All around, I loved the way each of the Obama women wore bold colors during the inauguration day ceremonies (I'm so hungry for color!). Michelle's look was elegant and unapologetically bold and pretty. As I said in the CNN taping (which apparently did air, after all...now we're working on the digital evidence), Michelle Obama is the only First Lady I can recall where women see her on TV and think, "I wonder where she bought that?"
She looked glamorous and First-Lady appropriate, but the green accessories added a quirky, unique touch. I loved that. This is going to be a fantastic four years of fashion in Washington.

These color combos are awesome! I can’t wait to see what DC will be like now that The Obamas are here!
I find it interesting that J.Crew has completely eclipsed the Gap for attiring the masses. Price points are higher at J.Crew, and I might argue that J.Crew stores are available is less locations. But preppy Crew definitely provides more POP – is color the key?
It seems like their strategy of raising their prices to seem more exclusive has paid off. Of course, having the First Family shop their regularly is probably helping.
Of course, they did get Globetrotter to make luggage for them. Baffles me why GT would do that. Lord knows why I’d pay GT prices for JCrew luggage when I can get GT luggage for GT prices.
Personally, I hate JCrew just because they charge such high prices for what they sell. Maybe women’s wear is different.
