WHAT IS MICHELLE OBAMA WEARING ? DURO OLOWU

If you follow ciaafrique then you must by know that I am a  big fan of the style of Mrs Obama. I can relate to her on so many levels. I am as tall as she is and i know hard it is to find clothing and shoes when you are big and tall let alone find it and look good in it. We've seen pictures of Michelle Obama within the last year wearing pieces from the one and only Nigerian Top designer Duro Oluwo. She wore this printed top  a few days ago in New Orleans where she visited the Royal Castle Child Development Center . She not only wear her clothes but  she also recycles them. Meaning that she wears them more that once to go to public events which is a No-No in the world a celebrity. I really don't see anything wrong with wearing the same item twice because it shows that you are just like anyone else. Maybe wearing a dress to the Oscars and then to the golden globes is a no-no. Anyways below are more pics of her wearing this top to a previous event.

Inspired by Africa : Michelle Obama in Suno

I am just still wondering  how i Missed this. Michelle Obama was spotted twice wearing custom shirts from Suno . The reason why i said custom is because after much research I could not  find anything in the suno collections Matching these shirts . Suno has become an household name in the states after being on the market for only a few years.  I always mention in all my posts about Suno that even though the designer is not African i love the fact that the clothes are made with the help of the  actual workers in kenya.  Nothing bad to say about this line . You can check out Suno latest collection here. what are you thoughts ?  do you Michelle Obama being one of  the fashion icons of our generation can help with  the rise of African fashion in the world?  All she has to do is to wear one design from  an african Designer. My first pick in that Category will be none other than Jewel by lisa ( very Sophisticated) .
