Michelle Obama and her stylist, Meredith Koop, have always viewed fashion as a form of storytelling. They even co-authored The Look, a #1 New York Times bestseller all about "the meaning" behind Obama's personal style. Their legacy of thoughtful collaboration continued on June 16, when the former First Lady visited Chicago's Barack Obama Presidential Center while wearing a custom skirt featuring her "favorite portrait" of her mother.
Days before the Barack Obama Presidential Center opens to the public, Michelle and Barack Obama hosted a private stakeholders reception on the Jackson Park campus. The first unveiling of the museum, library, and auditorium was a historic moment for both Chicagoans. Michelle honored it with a "beautiful skirt," which Barack "didn't know existed" until moments before they stepped onstage.
