The Look by Michelle ObamaMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Michelle Obama, along with her fabulous stylist Meredith Koop, have compiled this wonderful coffee table book with photographs of many of the key outfits and gowns from her time as First Lady in the White House. However, it's not just a beautiful picture book; there is extensive content written by Michelle, Meredith, her hair stylists and make-up artists. She focuses on the evolution of her style, ranging from cautious professional outfits at the beginning of the first term to a more expressive wardrobe towards the end of the second term.
She weaves two themes throughout the book regarding her wardrobe. First of all she needs to feel comfortable in the outfit and it needs to reflect the activities that she is involved in. Secondly, she wanted to spotlight up-and-coming designers.
I have been a long-standing fan of Michelle Obama, admiring her grace, style, charm and ease from the first time I saw her on the DNC stage. I absolutely loved this book with all the incredible photographs. But what surprised me was the amount of written content to correspond to the photos. I really got a feel for her look and what was important to her. Very highly recommended and a fantastic visual experience!
