Remember a few weeks ago when De La Renta whined about First Lady Michelle Obama not wearing American designers and a cardigan to meet the Queen? Well yesterday on The View he attempted to take his designer shoe out of his mouth.
"My words were really ill-chosen words," he acknowledged. "I did say a lot of very wonderful things. They just happen to pick those words. Anyway, that's a fact of life." Sure, blame the media. But Barbara Walters didn't let him off so easy. She forced him to explain why he said Michelle shouldn't wear a cardigan. "I said she should not wear a sweater," he said. "She's entitled to wear whatever she wants. And I chose my words badly. And I regret it." He added that he thinks Michelle is a "great lady" and that he said what he did because he thinks Michelle has "a great opportunity ... because of her high visibility to do something wonderful for an industry which employs a lot of people in this country."
Dear Sir, she rocks tons of American designers; but we are a global world, let's show some stylish love!!
