In court papers, YSL claims red soles have existed for centuries.

Quote Du Jour: Michelle Obama- “I like to patronize American designers”

“I like to patronize American designers, and the vast majority of the clothes that I wear are [designed by Americans.] But there are a lot of other designers that have cute stuff, too. I don’t think that I’m any different from any other woman, other than the fact that people see what I wear and then they talk about it.”

Quote Du Jour: Michael Kors on Kate Middleton- “I would liken her to [Michelle] Obama and Carla Bruni”

Michael Kors

“When Barack Obama first became well known and everyone started looking at Mrs. Obama, I thought to myself, ‘This is a very different, modern-looking couple.’ When I designed the outfit for Michelle’s first official portrait, no one thought she would wear matte jersey, but she did. Past women in the same position had always worn a tailored suit. When I look at Kate I see a changing of the guard in what is considered elegant. She likes to look easy but chic. I would liken her to Obama and Carla Bruni in that way. All these women are in situations where they are shaking off the formal suits of their predecessors.”

-Michael Kors reveals.
