Stephen Burrows Spring 2009

I suppose Michelle doesn’t want to appear racist by wearing only clothing by African American designers. But hey, how about one or two pieces?? This Stephen Burrows dress looks like the First Lady’s style. What about Tracy Reese? Her dresses are divine. Then there’s Byron Lars. He hasn’t designed since the 1990s but maybe he’d make a comeback if Michelle were interested. These are only 3 African American designers and there’s plenty more. Maybe some prior season contestants from Project Runway would like a chance at the limelight and build a business here in the USA. Yeah, I know fashion seems kinda trivial but it’s fun and it’s also a multi billion dollar business that we’ve sent offshore. We need that business back here to help America recover.
