Michelle Obama said it Best

First Lady Michelle Obama became the "honorary patron"for the 10th anniversary of the Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt National Design Awards. At the event, Obama stunned the audience with not only her style, but with her wise words.

While dressed in a spectacular bold yellow Michael Kors skirtsuit paired with lizard-skin pumps, Obama said, “What I love about design is the artistic and scientific complexity that becomes useful — a laptop, a bridge, an outfit — all drawn from a thousand wells of inspiration yet grounded in the basic principles of math and science."

I simply wanted to share this quote, which I saw in today's issue of WWD, with you all. For those of you who have read my blog for a while now, you are well aware that I view fashion as more than just clothing. The quote above encompasses how I feel about fashion and why I love it. I thought Michelle Obama's words were inspiring and wanted to pass this little piece of inspiration to you all.
