A Rare Interview with Michelle Obama's Favorite Boutique Owner, Ikram Goldman

Citybuzz.com nabbed a (rare) interview during New York's Fall Fashion Week, with Ikram Goldman, owner of the famed Ikram Boutique in Chicago where First Lady Michelle Obama likes to shop. 

An excerpt from the article below:
My Citybuzz crews, interns, producers and I stake out the shows of the designers Goldman carries in her Chicago boutique, Ikram, hoping for a glimpse of her. The style press corps knows that Ikram is the first lady's stealth style weapon and she is appropriately elusive. My fellow fashion editors tell me they cannot interview Goldman without signing a legal agreement that prohibits using the first lady's name in the same article! And yes, even though I signed no such contract...I am not going to breathe the "M" word.

I want to hear Goldman's fashion vision. After all, she is building a wardrobe for the nation's new fashion role model. This adorable, soft spoken, 41 year old is not a size 2 and neither is her client, She Who Shall Not Be Named. And she stands to influence American fashion from the runway to the mall as her number one client's fashion parade is gobbled up by the media and the mainstream. She is the Obi-Wan Kenobi of the fashion universe, and we listen intently like an eager master class.. She speaks the latest fashion gospel: Textured fabrics-tweeds and checks. Dresses are big, especially sleeveless ones for winter.
