Will Mrs. Obama also look nice in silks and satin?

(Not minding my business this morning. The word "meddlin'" comes to mind)
Most every time I see Mrs. Obama it look as though the material of her clothing does not match up with her personality. In other words, a difference in quality.

In my opinion, there is a visual breakdown between her personality and the quality of the material of garments she is wearing. I am not a fashion critic but I do know when things are not lining up. There is much talk regarding Mrs. Obama’s fashion designer J. Crew with whom I have no problems but it is just the materials he uses which I think he should take a closer look (at).

Again shooting from the hip, certain materials drape differently around the body and in the case of the garments of females, the lines and hem fall differently. Mrs. Obama stays physically fit which would be a challenge to any designer and were I a designer of her clothing, I could constantly check the body form I use for her clothing adhering to a trilogy: Skin tone (Make-up), material and occasion. If that doesn’t work, I would develop another trilogy.

I am mindful of world renowned African-American dancer and anthropologist Martha Graham who, with her husband Eric Hawkins, meticulously designed clothing/costumes for her dancers matching and complimenting skin tones.
As always,
BB
