All the designers at New York Fashion Week are hoping and praying that First Lady Michelle Obama will show up at the runway shows.
This won’t be happening.
The P.R. nightmare that would ensue has no doubt been vetted (sorry.) and debated amongst the Obama’s inner circle.
But that doesn’t mean that Obama’s invites will go unused.
The White House social secretary Desiree Rogers was recently spotted at the Donna Karan and the Carolina Herrera shows.
Rogers, who wore a Carolina Herrera gown to the inaugural balls, sat in the front row at the designer’s show Monday morning and later raved about it to WWD: “The fashions were amazing. I do like her work, but this collection was very different from what I have seen in the past. I particularly liked the dresses for daytime that were a classic silhouette, but had a bell sleeve and were a little shorter, just below the knee. Those are easier to wear than the long ballgowns.”
