Laura Smalls: Potential New Designer for Michelle O.?

via HuffPo:
The debut collection of Laura Smalls, an African-American mother of three and long time outerwear designer for Amerex Group brands, which includes Jones New York and London Fog Kids (happenened during NY Fashion Weeks Spring 2010 showings). Smalls's own designs, though, are about as far from trench coats and rain slickers as the balcony is from the front row. The thirty dresses she presented on Sunday included an embroidered red satin confection that seemed made for a grand entrance at a Hollywood fête, and a white jacquard cotton sheath with embroidered daisies that everyone at my table agreed would look great on Michelle Obama.
