Michelle Obama: First Lady of Fashion and Style
by Susan Swimmer

Michelle Obama's singular style is one of the hottest topics in news media at the moment.

This first photo fashion portrait of the First Lady, written by a leading national fashion editor, is filled with more than 200 inspiring photographs that document Michelle's evolving style.

Featuring more than 200 photographs, from the Obama's wedding to today, the book includes such recent fashion-worthy events as the President and Mrs. Obama's European trip and the beloved Easter egg roll on the South Lawn of the White House.

The First Lady's style evolves throughout the book's pages, from her days outside of the public eye to her husband's election as a U.S. Senator, his election as President of the United States, and Michelle's own increasing public profile.

An introductory chapter places Michelle in historical context alongside other first ladies of fashion, including Jackie Kennedy, Betty Ford, Pat Nixon, and Nancy Reagan.

Sidebars detail unique aspects of Michelle's fashion choices: how she uses bold colors and prints to hide figure flaws; her unusual choice of an inaugural gown; her loyal relationship with a Chicago boutique owner; her penchant for sleeveless designs; and her love affair with the Little Black Dress.
