Style war in the first wives club Forget the real housewives of orange county and their cat fights. The showdown that matters is between these two wives, offstage of the speeches and debates.It is the battle of two women determined to look flawless.It is the supreme project runway, the fashion clash of us first lady michelle obama and ann lois romney. Since stepping out at the inauguration ball in that white floor length gown by a young, unknown chinese american designer, michelle obama has been setting the stage for her fashion revolution. Michelle began as she meant to go on.Of the many dresses offered to her for that night, she chose one by the aspiring jason wu.It wasn't until wu saw the inauguration on tv that he learned his dress had been chosen. Thanks to that one shoulder white gown, wu's career had lift off.This is what obama does.Through her fashion choices of the past four years, she has supported american designers and american high street brands. Obama's not afraid to step out in something that isn't designer and this gives her kudos.It also helps that michelle wears it well, whether it's designer or not.This is an ability that her style opponent, ann romney, has yet to achieve. For her debut tv appearance as the 'first lady', on the tonight show with jay leno, obama wore head to toe high street brand j crew.This was a clever choice for the new 'first lady' in recessionary times. Throughout the past few years, obama has stayed true to her j crew roots, wearing a pastel green pencil skirt from the store for her trip to downing street in 2009.Yet again, the 'first lady' was given fashion credit, at this year's democratic national convention, where she complemented african american designer tracy reese's fuchsia coloured custom made dress with a rhubarb toned heel by j crew. By mixing designers with hip, high street brands, obama has created an image of a strong, confident, yet humble woman.These are qualities the housewives of america want. Obama's fashion choices are adhering to the middle class electorate at which her husband's campaign is aimed. Obviously, obama has had a head start in discovering the right style road to take.Over the past few years she has shown off her athletic physique and has made it acceptable, mk design even as the 'first lady', to bare your arms. Obama has a penchant for oversized, pearl necklaces, cinched in waists and dresses.Reminiscent of one of america's most iconic first ladies, jackie kennedy onassis, obama often chooses a modest, floral, nipped at the waist dress, matched with a cardigan. While she michael kors bags outlet has no problem opting for high street, like any woman in her position obama has a weakness for designer.Among her favourites are azzedine alaia, isabel toledo and, of course, american designers michael kors and wu. Staying close to her american roots is important for the 'first lady', who has worn the outfits of more than 50 american designers since her husband took office. While obama is a strong, statuesque woman who, while happily married, is confident and independent, it has been said that ann romney dresses for her man, mitt, the republican presidential candidate. While this may sit well among the traditionalists of middle america, it begs the question of whether or not this is the image such a strong power house really wants to portray to the rest of the world. Obama has successfully honed a style fit for the 'first lady'.While romney is desperately trying to up the style stakes among the media and designers in the us, she is constantly being left out in the cold. In july, american designer diane von furstenburg said, after romney wore one of her designs to a rally in florida, that she didn't know how romney had"Obtained"The dress. In other words, von furstenburg was saying 'if we had wanted her to wear our designs, we would have sent michael kors sale her a dress'. In recent months, romney has worn oscar de la renta four times and yet there is no mention of this on social media sites, such as twitter. In a world where social media is the mecca of selling a brand, and having any celebrity wearing your designs is a major acclaim, that the fashion house has not said its designs have been worn by the potential 'first lady' speaks volumes. Whether this silence is due to political reasonings or a sniffiness that somebody deemed unfashionable is wearing your designs, we'll probably never know. Romney may be the next 'first lady', so she needs to michael kors jet set be aware that her fashion choices are of huge importance to the electorate, because what she is wearing is making a statement. Judging by online forum boards, the women of america are watching closely to see what the two housewives are wearing. Romney has made quite a few mistakes, including wearing a silk shirt emblazoned with a large, golden bird, while appearing on the cbs this morning show.The shirt reportedly cost just under $1, 000. Put this up against obama wearing a $150 dollar dress on the talk show the view and it is obvious whom the recession beaten public will respect. Choosing to wear an overly expensive shirt hasn't been romney's only fashion faux pas.Her attempt at keeping it young, on trend and edgier was definitely a miss when she appeared on the tonight show with jay leno wearing one of her worst ensembles.It was a ridiculous move away from her usual, conservative look. The all black outfit comprised a printed leather jacket, with oversized buttons matched with an over the knee, tiered, leather scalloped skirt and matching lacy heels.Maybe this was her way of stepping out of the stepford wives look, and trying to relate to the southern belles of america, but she fell flat on her face, sartorially speaking, of course. This look just screamed 'tacky', which is not the image that the potential future 'first lady' should be portraying.
