The satellite presentation itself spoke significiantly of the world today and the impact of technology on it. Although not exactly a rare stunt at such an event, this shows that the new America finds distance to be no obstacle. She also didn't use staying home as an excuse to dress down. Fitting in with the glitzy evening, Obama turned to American-based designer Naeem Khan for Art Deco glamour.
She is an avid supporter of the American fashion industry, helping new designers get their products seen and names known. Mrs. Obama has proven to be an American fashion role model since appearing in Jason Wu at her husband's 2008 inauguration. He was one of many in the new generation of American fashion designers to be elevated to a household name by the First Lady. Last weekend, Khan joined that troupe.
Michelle O. is the most positive fashion role model America has had in over a decade. She represents a new breed of fashionista, one that prefers high class to showing one's ass. At the Oscars, Obama was living, shining proof that being classy is not the same as being stuffy. American fashion is becoming more intellectual and sophisticated. It's no surprise that she is the perfect role model for this movement.
