Quote of the Day: Doo-Ri Chung
Friday, October 28, 2011 at 12:37 PM A lovely little quote from Doo-Ri Chung, who designed the First Lady's gown for the state dinner a few weeks ago (and is designing an upcoming line for Macy's):
NY Mag: The announcement of your Macy's line came just a few days after Michelle Obama wore your gown to a state dinner. Was that pure coincidence?
Doo-Ri Chung: It was! Everyone thought it was planned, but it was just luck. I found out about Michelle Obama because a Washington Post reporter called my cell phone while I was in the car, and I was like, "She is?" It's the first time she's worn something from my collection, and it turned out to be great timing with the Macy's announcement. It was also nice that she wore it to the state dinner with the South Korean president — personally, I relate more to being American than being Korean, but it was a nice moment for my Korean family members too.

I have a confession to make, and i think it is appropriate to make this comment. I have been secretly following this blog since September 2008, my sophomore year in high school, and as a freshman in college, i am still following the blog. This blog is amazing. The blog effectively presents news from a style and fashion view point, which i endorse. Thank you Mrs. T for all your wonderful news piece on this blog. Michelle Obama is someone i look up to; she is someone that inspired me to pursue my current major in college. As a "new" follower, i cannot wait to experience more inspiring fashion of MICHELLE OBAMA. VIVA Mrs.O and Mrs.T.!
Welcome, Christal B! I, too, have followed this blog for a very long time, although I have posted occasionally. I think it is wonderful that you, as a college freshman, and I (considerable older than that) find common ground in enjoying Mrs T's blog and inspiration in enjoying Mrs. O's fashions. VIVA tambien!
Thanks Christal. That's so sweet. I'm glad you continue to enjoy the blog!
Welcome Christal! Oh, the memories of freshman year--so very long ago for me! But it was magical and still my major accomplishment in my life! I hope you're enjoying school and enjoying the blog. It is the everyday joy of my life, thanks to Mrs. T! Happy Learning!
