Y la elegida es... Isabel Toledo
Ya se ha desvelado el enigma sobre quién vestirá a la primera dama de Estados Unidos en la toma de posesión de su marido, Barack Obama.
Isabel Toledo ha sido la elegida por Michelle Obama para la ocasión.
La diseñadora latina ya ha vestido a la primera dama en varias ocasiones , siempre con discretos y favorecedores vestidos que resaltaban la figura de Michelle.
Después de que multitud de diseñadores de todo el mundo crearan bocetos para ella: Oscar de la Renta, Christian Lacroix, Karl Lagerfeld, Carolina Herrera o Marc Jacobs,... Michelle Obama se decantó por Isabel Toledo.
Se dice que la mujer de Barack Obama escoge para su grandes eventos a Toledo porque representa perfectamente lo que ella quiere expresar : elegancia en un vestido creado por una mujer latina y fabricado en su tierra, Estados Unidos.
Isabel Toledo es una diseñadora estadounidense de origen cubano casada con el artista Ruben Toledo, ilustrador de muchas de sus colecciones.
Lleva más de 20 años diseñando bajo su marca , con su mismo nombre, y también fue directora creativa de la firma Anne Klein.
La diseñadora ha sido condecorada recientemente con el premio anual de moda que concede el Consejo de Alta Costura del Museo del Instituto Tecnológico de Moda (FIT) de Nueva York.
Updated | 11:19 a.m. Isabel Toledo, the Cuban-born designer of Mrs. Obama’s inaugural outfit, did not know positively until this morning if the new first lady would wear the lemongrass-yellow coat and matching dress she specially designed for her. “We’re all up here watching the T.V.,” said the designer in a telephone interview from her New York studio. “It’s great. We’re so happy.”
Ms. Toledo, who has been making clothes in New York for 25 years, said the coat and dress were made of Swiss wool lace, backed with netting for warmth and lined in French silk. “I wanted to pick a very optimistic color, that had sunshine,” she said. “I wanted her to feel charmed, and in that way would charm everybody.” Ms. Toledo sounded overwhelmed. “This is so wonderful,” she said.
About thirteen people in her studio worked on the outfit over the Christmas holidays. “Chinese ladies, Polish ladies, Spanish ladies—I have a picture of everyone working on her clothes,” Ms. Toledo, who is 48, said. She added, “We’re all grateful for this opportunity, and we don’t even have a PR person!”
Like the other designers who have made inaugural clothes for Mrs. Obama, Ms. Toledo worked with Ikram Goldman, the owner of a boutique in Chicago called Ikram, where Mrs. Obama has previously bought clothes. Ikram also sells clothes by Narciso Rodriguez and Maria Cornejo, other favorites of Michelle Obama.
E agora vamos ver quem a veste logo à noite...
