Jason Wu is one lucky dude! As it’s all over the media now - he had no idea Michelle Obama was going to wear his dress, and that just melts my little 24 year old heart (he’s only 26!!). Anyway, puhlease disregard the part in the article where the Times clearly has a bias - Isabel Toledo went to both FIT and Parsons. Just because Project Runway was filmed at Parson’s doesn’t mean they didn’t try to shoot it at FIT first (they did) - so the rivalry will go on and on. AND - I love how they paint the picture of a struggling designer in his midtown apartment eating Dominos. First - you’re not struggling if your apartment is in midtown, I don’t care if it’s next to Joshua Tree. Second - Jason Wu needs to check the NYC health standards because last time I checked the Dominos in Chelsea had mice. So now that I’m all fired up for the weekend - enjoy the below article from the Times!

NY Times - Spotlight on Designer of Gown for Ball



Yay or nay?  I’m still on the fence, I think the color choice was smart and fresh - but it was more first lady-esque than I expected.  Still, you can’t blame her for wanting her coat to match fabulously with her dress, DC is frickin’ cold right now!

Isabel Toledo dress, Jimmy Choo pumps.  Oh - and did I mention Ms. Toledo is a FIT alum? Happy Inauguration day!
