RED 2013 VS. WHITE 2009: WHICH MICHELLE OBAMA INAUGURAL JASON WU GOWN DO YOU MOSTLY FAVORED?


When First Lady Michelle Obama wore Jason Wu for the 2009 ‘Presidential Inaugural Ball’ the fashion world ask WHO, while the general public and first lady watchers applauded her bold choice for picking an unknown/up-and-coming designer.
Four years later Jason Wu owe much of his success to first Lady Michelle Obama.
The benefits were immediate, huge orders/sales, successful sold-out Jason Wu for Target launch, and most importantly name recognition as Michelle Obama’s favorite designer.
Forward to January 21, 2013 on the 2nd inauguration of her husband President Barack Obama, when most of the world thought the popular first lady would spread the love and give another designer the same opportunity given to WU, she threw a curve ball and wore Jason Wu AGAIN!
Call that luck for Mr. Wu but, it is also an affirmation for the designer.
Why make a new star when you have one who’s on your go-to-list?
With the Jason Wu choice Michelle’s place in fashion history is enshrine, and Jason is blessed with endless possibilities. He will now be a household name blending high-end and mass market appeal.
Just the right message the first lady has put forth the past four years in the white house.

Kimono Kollection - January 2013 - BellaNaija011Kimono Kollection, a label headed by Hakeem Balogun at the 2012 edition of Music Meets Runway. With contemporary Nigerian menswear, there often seems to be a disconnect between what is presented and what a Nigerian man would actually wear. This is certainly not the case with Kimono Kollection. The brand creates blazers, suits and kaftans for the young upwardly mobile Nigerian men.

According to the brand’s designer – Hakeem, “Kimono Kollection is not an inherited label or venture. It is a label cultivated to cater to the needs of the modern man. Whilst our structured tailoring adheres to the principles of and the immaculate tailoring of a bygone age, the brands appeal is to the diverse, multi lifestyle of the modern day gent. My particular passion for fashion was bred during my university years in the United Kingdom. A small business that started with the creation of a few tunics, suits, trousers,blazers and natives for my contemporaries quickly expanded to become the label of choice for the Lagos corporate businessman as well as the elegant dapper don.“
Check out the Kimono Kollection’s recent campaign shot by TCD Concept.
