The Look – a photo book published this month – documents former First Lady Michelle Obama’s style throughout her time in the White House, according to a story in the London-based Guardian newspaper. The book aims to offer an insight into how Obama used fashion as a tool for visibility and representation.
The foreword is written by Farah Jasmine Griffin, University Professor. In her foreword, Griffin describes Obama as “a woman of substance – a highly educated woman of ideas and opinions, a woman who reads, listens to music, dances, and has a sense of what our country could be and how to help it get there.”
The release of the book coincided with a video interview of Obama with Griffin and Nina Garcia on style and substance.
