Diane Von Fursternberg Submits Sketches for Michelle Obama’s Inaugural Ball Gown

“Of course, everybody has” said Diane von Furstenberg about the fact that she has submitted sketches for Michelle Obama’s Inaugural Ball gown.
Seems that usually the Inaugural Ball gown itself is the pinnical of fashion-history making as each new first lady marks a new era of ‘yay’ or ‘nay’ for fashionistas to bother with their attention spans.
Jacqueline Kennedy however, designed her own gown and had it made by Bergdorf Goodman. Wonder if Michelle-O has a bit of the fashion designing eye herself – wouldn’t be surprised if she did.
Though whatever choice she makes, I have a feeling it will yet again be a ‘hate it or love it’ piece as with the pattern from the reactions of her dress on Election Day. Some First Ladies, such as Hillary Clinton, actually did better the second time around (when she had the help of Oscar de la Renta in 1997).
