First Lady and Fellow Chicagoan Michelle Obama is remarkable for her impact on fashion, style and the focus the media is placing upon covering M.O.’s fashion choices and style. Style is a kind of shorthand. Style is a way of crystallizing our public persona. When someone looks absolutely stunning, it can take your breath away while you witness the true and authentic essence of someone extraordinary. Marian Anderson, pictured above, the first regular member of New York’s Metropolitan Opera, reflected on her own identity as an African American woman in American society and said, “I could see that my significance as an individual was small in this affair. I had become a symbol, representing my people.” The dress she’s wearing leaves no room for questioning Anderson’s amazing grace and personal composure in her very public role in American life and culture.
