Those cardigans, the necklaces and pins, and of course the kitten heels--these are the hallmarks of Michelle Obama's trademark style. In Kate Betts' new book, Everyday Icon: Michelle Obama and the Power of Style, two hundred color photographs, original designer sketches, and historical images give a lavish tour of our First Ladys' style statements. We are taken on a behind-the-scenes journey of how she created her image and, more important, what that image says about American Style today. Much has been written about Michelle Obama but Kate Betts places her in a broader cultural and historical context. This book is the definitive book on how a working mother of two became an unforgettable, global style icon.
