Michelle Obama - spoiled for choice.

The President-elect Obama's Inaugural day is in the not too distant future (January 20th) and it seems that Fashion Designers are clambering over themselves to dress the stylish and chic Michelle Obama (& children) for the day and evening events.

On WWD.com you can see drawing after drawing of proposed dress designs for Mrs Obama and they are all absolutely gorgeous. Here are a few fashion illustrations from just a handful of the most sought-after designers hoping for a chance to be a part of American History.

Diane von Furstenberg & Natalia Vodianova

The pre-spring collection for Diane von Furstenberg's Cruise collection is catwalk-ed in a gorgeous setting. 

The clothes are of course very wearable and the first model down the catwalk? The lovely Natalia Vodianova. Delving further it seems that Natalia has become a bit of a muse for some of DVF's campaigns at the moment. I understand why as she is one of my favourite models. I love the versatility of her work: she can be rock chick, aristocrat, temptress... but she always remains so delicate, youthful and feminine. I am awe struck by her Cinderella story and endeared by her charity work and family life. 

A true supermodel of our time.
