Michelle Obama rockin' Peter Soronen

Anyone who has been following my blog knows that I have been following the very talented Peter Soronen since I wrote a rave review of his fashion show for Zoozoom a few seasons back. Since then I have had the opportunity to style a designer profile of him, interview him, and was honored with the gift of a hand made corset (you'll see it in an upcoming Closet Commando segment).

I have said it before, and I will say it again, Peter is an absolute craftsman and artist. His knowledge of corsetry and construction is such a strong foundation for his elegant (and many times edgy designs) that sculpt a womans body to absolute perfection. He travels over seas to find the very best fabrics from which he draws his inspirations. And yes, this has led to quite the celebrity following (I got to try on a dress he made for Sarah Jessica Parker...heaven!), and it is quite easy to see why. I don't think I have ever felt so beautiful as when I have been awarded the opportunity to wear a Peter Soronen dress.

I am just so pleased to see that the always illustrious Michelle Obama has become as much a fan as myself. And let's face it, she has far more occasions to wear his gowns than I (alas), such as last Sunday night at the Kennedy Center.

People, you can see my Soronen fashion story here, read my fashion week review here, you can buy his gowns at Barneys, you can rent a dress at RTR, or you can visit his website.
