" A controversial shorts -- gorgeous gowns Michelle Obama's definitely made headlines for a taste and fashion. Mary homers here she's the author of mrs. the face of fashioned democracy. And -- and it shows why the First Lady really is -- true fashion icon why everybody else says -- you welcome to the show me anchor heavy here. I know that you started off by was creating a block and then you turn it into the book. On the shelves fashion -- decided to do love. The blog in September of 2008 and inspiration really came from watching the DNC. And artists aren't tuned -- Michelle Obama's style but it was during the DNC that I -- and actually -- it with one particular route that our just in general. I think it was the combination of that -- entire fault for days but there wasn't one particular -- the second night it was I every rose brocade tracks and I didn't know his designer and wasn't being covered in media terms sent me to my computer there on that wild Google or to find it kinda am. Think the public is still obsessed with what she's wearing or what they liked what they don't like. -- on her I think -- answer the second question first I think that that you know sometimes controversies that are rights really are just -- and and natural byproduct of the intense followed and -- thank you we weren't so passionate there wouldn't be that kind of other dissenting voice -- I think the reason that we are so captivated -- because there Michelle Obama's doing things with her wardrobe that haven't seen -- First -- before bringing J. -- to the White House and wearing that. You know in rotation with designers like Jason -- tunes were emerging new names in American fashion just keep it. There are a fraction interesting in the -- me I always knew -- island -- on the style any mention controversy over the controversial shorts. What -- would think about those where you feel like everybody else was racing but. The thirty personally I -- a really excited it's Obama's chairperson not vacation home and I'm not you know what else could a woman wear hiking in the Grand Canyon in August that her family I think Sharpton actually appropriate. So I. -- caught off guard by the controversy but at this point you can't be surprised and exactly and energy so many fashion insiders for this particular book. A lot of them have design gallons for her. Have to say about the fact that she does wear high end designers but you can also -- the J. Crew in -- at the same time. Monday and I think the draft he added in particular as you know hits and the champion that's kind of highly about movement went and it's designed for tart and his own line he really spoke about. Michelle Obama is. You know wearing -- that card again with it as -- about he just loves them next minute -- unexpected infraction. Particularly it's been raped by such a public figure. I think it's what has everyone really excitement and if you covered this in the book or not and I'm always curious to know how involved is she in the designs as she does that go with the flow controller is she just you know they're beginning to end. With her and play. My sense is that added she's probably last involved with actual design but certainly kind of has the final say of what she's wearing. Are not. OK -- love love love Jacqui also fashion icon as well some people have made comparisons between the two do you see a resemblance or do you think that they are they're two totally different women with two totally different styles of fast. Well I've heard that the comparison between the -- is staring at that level and intrigue and excitement that surround sound I think there's certain and we feel about child comment perhaps women haven't found about a First Lady since Jackie out. I think fell on -- that kind of comparisons and made in the media it's gotten that two letter on at times and then I think certainly. -- their styles are quite distinctive way. Michelle Obama it is it embrace a diverse range of designers Jacqui I was usually stuck with all Cassini I Michelle Obama mixing these different price points. Jackie Kennedy's are tended towards the really high and could -- right to limit the options out there and you know of the -- thank you so much is made it to the UK congratulations on the book to thank you for having -- you guys can see many more of the gorgeous gowns accessories and designs -- our First Lady just by picking up a copy of this -- the face of -- democracy.
