"We're prepared to do what it takes," proclaimed Fern Mallis, the company's senior vice president, to the crowd of major journalists and public relations professionals gathered yesterday at IMG's offices.

It seems that the appearance of Michelle Obama, would let the world of fashion know, that despite many designers NOT showing at the tents this season, the world of fashion is not dead nor is it dying.

I hope someone makes Michelle aware of the lack of color and size issue on the runway before she bothers to take a seat at some of these designer shows.

On another note, with her fashion apparel track record she'll probably pop into a few indie/young designers' shows.
