She WAS wearing Maria Pinto! I knew it!
On a different note...
Does anyone know what Michelle Obama was wearing during her speech tonight? It looks like Talbots or Ann Taylor Loft but it could be Maria Pinto too. She looked perfectly "soccer mom." It was brilliant!
Maria Pinto: the next Oleg Cassini?
Who can forget that fantastic purple dress Michelle Obama was wearing the nigh of her husband's Democratic primary victory speech? It was designed by Chicago based designer Maria Pinto who creates all of Mrs. Obama's looks including the red silk-crepe dress and jacket she wore on Super Tuesday and the white-cotton top and khakis while campaining with Caroline Kennedy. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Pinto says orders for her designs are up by 35% over the past 12 months. What's more, potential investors and employees have been cold calling. I'm shocked none of the former Project Runway winners didn't think of this tactic to get their stuff out there since nothing else seems to be working for them...
