In her second term as First Lady,Michelle Obama's reign as American fashion royalty stays strong as she continues to support designers—this time by hosting a luncheon on Friday for the winners of the Hewitt National Design Awards. The event, which was conceived by the Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum to honor U.S. talent will take place at the White House. Top names expected in attendance include Tim Gunn, award-winner Behnaz Sarafpour, and jurors Isabel and Ruben Toledo. Twelve aspiring high-school designers from NYC and Washington, D.C., were also invited as part of the Teen Design Fair, sponsored by Target.
"It takes a village to design the future and it all starts here with these students—they will help to invent our future," Ruben Toledo told WWD of the project.
We're super jealous of those teens (who will earn serious bragging rights for the lunch table), and we wish we could high five Mrs. Obama for making sure American glamour in the White House carries on.
