Tracy Reese To Dress Michelle Obama?

A few looks from Tracy Reese's Spring 2009 collection

 Ikram Boutique, a now famous Chicago boutique where the First Lady likes to shop recently contacted Tracy to send over designs to be presented (to the First Lady):

via the NY Times - Ms. Reese, whose moderate-priced clothes are not carried at Ikram, said she received a call in December from Ms. (Ikram) Goldman requesting day dresses. Because she doesn’t have a sample room, Ms. Reese had to bring in people to make the order, which was sent to Ikram last month.

“I’m still hoping she’ll wear the dresses,” Ms. Reese said.

Asked if she saw a conflict of interest that Mrs. Obama’s clothes are predominantly by designers carried at Ikram, Ms. Reese said, “I would have thought so if I hadn’t gotten the phone call.”
