When the First Lady of America met the First Lady of France…

Two of the world’s leading style mavens have come together again in honor of the D-Day landing memorial in Normandy. Dressed in matching cream ensembles, Michelle Obama opted for a nylon crepe dress by Narciso Rodriguez matched with a metallic belt. While Carla Bruni-Sarkozy went with her old favourite, Christian Dior, in a similar ivory frock, accessorized with a black skinny belt. Sadly, both ladies were harshly criticized by the press for choosing to wear pale colours at such a sombre event. I think this is silly, but more importantly – who do you think has the fashionable edge?

    In Asian culture– particularly Chinese- the culture is to wear white at funerals. If people aren’t going to follow the rules regarding white after Labor day, why follow the morbid black rule for sombre events?
